What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study compares two types of surgery for people with small (≤2 cm) lung adenocarcinoma that does not have aggressive features. One surgery removes only the part of the lung with the tumor (segmentectomy), while the other removes the entire lobe (lobectomy). The goal is to see if the smaller surgery works just as well in preventing the cancer from coming back, while possibly preserving more lung function. About 690 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two surgeries.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient aged 20-79 years old, both male or female; * Tumor size \<= 2cm on preoperative CT scan; * Peripheral solitary nodule or the associated lesion is MIA or less invasive lesion; * Preoperative CT indicated that the nodules were non-pure glass nodules (consolidation to tumor ratio \>= 0.25); * Intraoperative frozen section confirmed invasive lung adenocarcinoma with micropapillary and solid subtype negative (\<= 5%); * Intraoperative frozen section indicated the resection margins was free of tumor cells; * Lung function could withstand both lung segmentectomy and lobectomy (FEV1 \> 1.5L or FEV1% \>= 60%); * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, 0 to 2; * Volunteer to participate the trial and sign the informed consent, able to comply with the follow-up plan and other program requirements. Exclusion Criteria: * Radiological pure ground glass nodules (consolidation to tumor ratio \< 0.25); * The nodule is close to the lung hilus and is unable to perform segmentectomy; * Intraoperative frozen section confirmed with micropapillary and solid subtype positive (\> 5%); * Intraoperative frozen section confirmed adenocarcinoma in situ and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma; * Preoperative imaging examination or EBUS indicated lymph node positive metastasis; * Preoperative imaging examination revealed distant metastasis; * Patients with severe damage to heart, liver and kidney function (grade 3 \~ 4, ALT and/or AST over 3 times the normal upper limit, Cr over the normal upper limit); * Patients with other malignant tumors; * Pregnant, planned pregnancy and lactating female patients (urine HCG\>2500IU/L is diagnosed as early pregnancy); * Prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy or any other therapies were performed; 12 participated in other tumors within three months of relevant clinical subjects; * Those who have participated in other tumor-related clinical trials within three months; * Those are not suitable for participating in trials according to investigator's assessment.
