Trial Outcomes & Findings for Prognostic Value of Sarcopenia and Nutritional Status in Early-stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NCT NCT05212285)

NCT ID: NCT05212285

Last Updated: 2025-08-01

Results Overview

Due to the treatment frequency of lung cancer, we implemented the following follow-up schedule with actual follow-up completed for five years. Progression-free survival was measured from the date of diagnosis until the first occurrence of either: Objective tumor progression (confirmed by imaging per RECIST criteria), or death from any cause. whichever occurred first.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Target enrollment

469 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Follow-up were conducted every 2months during the first year and every 6 months for up to 5 years from enrollment. Progression-free survival was measured from the date of diagnosis until confirmed disease progression or death, whichever occurred first.

Participant Flow

The patients were diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by cytological or pathological examination and met the relevant criteria of the Chinese Medical Association Guidelines for Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Lung Cancer (2018 Edition). The TNM staging of lung cancer was confirmed as stage IA-IIIA.
