Study information
| Study design | Randomized controlled trial with an MSCT screening arm and an usual care control arm. | 
|---|---|
| Primary study design | Interventional | 
| Secondary study design | Randomised controlled trial | 
| Study setting(s) | Hospital | 
| Study type | Diagnostic | 
| Scientific title | Spiral computed tomography scanning for the early detection of lung cancer | 
| Study acronym | LUSI | 
| Study objectives | Lung cancer sreening with Multislice Spiral Computed Tomography (MSCT) reduces the mortality from lung cancer by at least 20%. | 
| Ethics approval(s) | Local Ethics Committee: Alte Glockengiesserei 11/1, 69115 Heidelberg (Germany), approved on 7 March 2007 (ref: 073/2001) | 
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Lung cancer | 
| Intervention | Intervention arm:  1. MSCT-scanning for the early detection of lung cancer immediately at time of randomisation and 4 times annually 2. Further assessment of suspicious nodules according to an internationally agreed algorithm 3. Counselling aimed at smoking cessation at time of randomisation Control arm: Counselling aimed at smoking cessation at time of randomisation. Both arms will receive annual follow-up by mailed questionnaires for assessment of Disease outcome for further 5 years after the 5 screening rounds of the intervention group. At time of randomization 20 ml blood sample will be taken in both intervention and control arms for concomitant biomarker research.  | 
| Intervention type | Other | 
| Primary outcome measure | Mortality from lung cancer at 5 and 10 years. | 
| Secondary outcome measures | No secondary outcome measures |
