Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
The primary objective of the CLIPPCAIR study is to construct and validate a new algorithm for predicting post-operative forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) values for lung resection candidates; this new model will be based on data derived from a thoracic CT scan with injection of contrast media.
Detailed description
Secondarily, the predictions made using traditional scintigraphic data will be compared with those from the new algorithm in a subset of high-risk patients, and cumulative contrast media and irradiation doses associated with imaging will be presented. How other measures of pulmonary function (e.g. transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide (TLCO)) and the presence/absence of operative complications might be predicted will also be investigated. Additionally, the potential links between (i) pre-surgical imaging data, (ii) post-surgical changes in respiratory function, and (iii) changes in health related quality of life will also be explored.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTPredictive data
The novel predictive data in this study includes 5 predefined variables derived from thoracic CT scans: (i) Expiratory to inspiratory ratio of mean lung density (MLDe/i), total; (ii) MLDe/i of the section to be excised / MLDe/i total; (iii) Percentage of emphysema according to voxel thresholding at -950 HU (PVOX-950), total; (iv) PVOX-950 for the section to be excised; (v) Iodine concentration \[I\] of the section to be excised / \[I\] total.
PROCEDURELung resection
Surgical resection will be characterised by type (pneumonectomy, bi-lobectomy, lobectomy, or lobectomy with anastomosis resection), whether or not lymph node dissection was performed, and whether or not the resection was atypical.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) from spirometry | 6 months |
| Correlation between predicted and real values for post-surgical FEV1 | 6 months |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Estimated post-operative FEV1 according segment counting (1) | Baseline (day 0) | FEV1post-seg-1 = FEV1pre-op x (1 - 0.0526 x N), where N is the number of segments to be excised |
| Estimated post-operative FEV1 according segment counting (2) | Baseline (day 0) | FEV1post-seg-2 = FEV1pre-op x \[(19 - a - b)/(19 - a)\], where a is the number of non-obstructed segments to be excised and b is the number of obstructed segments to be excised |
| Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) from spirometry | Baseline (day 0) | — |
| Forced vital capacity from spirometry | Baseline (day 0) | — |
| FEV1/FVC from spirometry | Baseline (day 0) | — |
| Total lung capacity from spirometry | Baseline (day 0) | lung volumes |
| Residual lung volume from spirometry | Baseline (day 0) | lung volumes |
| Estimated post-operative FEV1 (litres) according to scintigraphy | Baseline (day 0) | Estimated post-operative FEV1 (litres) deduced from the regional FEV1 distribution according to lung scintigraphy |
| Transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide (TLCO) from spirometry | Baseline (day 0) | — |
| Maximum volume of oxygen utilized per unit time (VO2Max) | Baseline (day 0) | — |
| EQ-5D-5L questionnaire | Baseline (day 0) | The 5 level EQ-5D version (EQ-5D-5L) is a standardized instrument for measuring generic health status. It results in a single index score describing a general health profile ranging from 0 to 1, as well as a visual analogue scale. |
| QLQ-C30 Version 3.0 questionnaire | Baseline (day 0) | The QLQ-C30 Version 3.0 (a quality of life questionnaire for lung cancer patients) results in three scale scores \[(i) level of function, (ii) global health status, and (iii) symptomatology / problems\] with higher scores (ranging from 0 to 100) representing a higher response level. |
| QLQ-LC13 questionnaire | Baseline (day 0) | The QLQ-LC13 provide an additional lung-cancer-specific symptom scale ranging from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating worse symptomatology. |
| Number of participants with complications | 0 to 6 months | — |
| Functional residual lung capacity from spirometry | Baseline (day 0) | lung volumes |
| Estimated post-operative TLCO according to scintigraphy | Baseline (day 0) | estimated post-operative Transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide (TLCO) deduced from the regional TLCO distribution |
