Study designNon-randomised controlled single-centre study
Secondary study designNon randomised study
Study type Participant information sheet
Scientific titleA non-randomised controlled single centre study to investigate the role of advanced brain magnetic resonance imaging techniques in small cell lung cancer
Study acronymCLUB01
Study objectivesWe hypothesise that by developing ways to look for subtle changes in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images before the cancer deposits (metastases) themselves are big enough to be visualised by current methods, we may be able to predict which patients are most at risk for developing brain metastases.
Ethics approval(s)Cambridgeshire 1 Research Ethics Committee (REC), ref: 09/H0304/59, expected to be approved on 21/07/2009
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedSmall cell lung cancer
InterventionThis is a single centre non-randomised observational imaging feasibility study. There will be a maximum of 4 MRI scans (interventions) over a 1 year period and the total duration recruitment will be 2 years, therefore a study duration of 3 years to complete the interventions with routine clinical follow-up to 5 years as standard.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Identification of the subset of SCLC patients at high risk for developing brain metastases, based on novel imaging at diagnosis, correlated retrospectively with clinical outcome.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

Radiological disease progression:
1. Local incidence of asymptomatic brain metastases detected by conventional MRI at diagnosis
2. Local incidence of brain metastases detected after chemotherapy by conventional MRI
