Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Current oncological treatment for patients with locally advanced lung cancer comprise adjuvant immunotherapy (immune checkpoint inhibitors-ICI) as an additional one-year treatment after chemoradiotherapy which increases overall survival and progression-free survival. Patients with lung cancer have a high burden of distressful symptoms at diagnosis and during chemoradiotherapy. Side-effects from immunotherapy differs, they are unspecific and may develop at any point during treatment. However, it is not investigated thoroughly during adjuvant treatment in locally advanced lung cancer. As new oncological treatments are being introduced, focus must be placed on patients quality of life and how patients endure treatment to be able to know how to best support patients during this treatment. The knowledge gained from this project include how adjuvant immunotherapy treatment impacts health. This knowledge is sparse due to the novelty of the treatment.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- label
- Patients with locally advanced lung cancer cared for at two specialized oncology centres.
- description
- Inclusion criteria: locally advanced lung cancer, ≥ 18 years of age, planned for concurrent chemoradiotherapy including ICI for 12 months and performance status 0-2.
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Changes in aspects of Quality of life (totalscore and subscale scores) during oncological treatment measured with the questionnaire EORTC QLQ C30.
- timeFrame
- From enrollment before oncological treatment up til 18 months after start of treatment
- description
- Changes between baseline and 12 months after start of immunotherapy will be assessed with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of life scale (EORTC QLQ-C30). The 30 item instrument measure quality of life in patients with cancer. Scores range from 0-100 where a higher score represents higher quality of life.
Secondary outcomes (5)
- measure
- Changes in self-reported health during oncological treatment measured with EQ-VAS.
