Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with locally advanced, unresectable non-small cell lung cancer who are scheduled for radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage lung cancer or those who are not candidates for radical treatment may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of early cardiovascular intervention using impedance cardiography in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer undergoing radical radiochemotherapy and possibly immunotherapy. Participants are randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which receives cardiovascular evaluations and treatments at multiple timepoints, or a control group, which is monitored without intervention unless severe cardiovascular events occur. The study aims to assess the impact of these interventions on cardiovascular complications during and after cancer treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce cardiovascular complications in lung cancer patients undergoing aggressive treatment.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on cardiovascular interventions in cancer patients, this specific approach using impedance cardiography is relatively novel.
