A study of thromboembolic events in patients of advanced stage lung cancer treated with platinum based chemotherapy.
- Conditions
- Advanced stage non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with platinum based chemotherapy.
- Registration Number
- CTRI/2014/11/005227
- Lead Sponsor
- Tata Memorial Hospital
- Brief Summary
Aims/ Objectives of the study:
1. To determine the incidence of thromboembolic events including deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolus (PE), cerebrovascular accident, and unstable angina/myocardial infarction (MI) in patients of lung cancer treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
2. To analyze the prognostic value of patients’ baseline and treatment characteristics in predicting occurrence of thromboembolic events in patients of lung cancer on platinum based chemotherapy.
Study methodology:
1.All patients will be evaluated at the baseline prior to start of chemotherapy by taking a detailed history and detailed physical examination.
2.Baseline characteristics of the patients will be noted including sex, BMI ,performance status , hemoglobin, total leucocyte count, platelet count and will be assigned to Khorana risk group (low , intermediate or high).
**Factors for univariate analysis will be these:**
1. BMI ,Smoking ,DM , HTN ,Dyslipidemia ,Baseline hemoglobin, Baseline leucocyte count, Baseline platelet count, Presence of Central venous catheter, Khorana risk score.
3. All patients will be enquired for development of any thromboembolic event including at every visit with relevant history pertaining to deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolus (PE), cerebrovascular accident, and unstable angina/myocardial infarction (MI).
4. In the presence of a positive history relating to development of any thromboembolic event ,relevant diagnostic tests will be performed for confirmation of the diagnosis as per the treating physician’s decision.5. A thromboembolic event will be considered associated with chemotherapy if it occurred between the time of the first dose of platinum based chemotherapy and 4 weeks after the last dose.
