About this trial

SAFRO 2202 ALG-Lung Cancer Registry is a prospective, multicenter, non-interventional observational study conducted across 21 public and university hospitals in Algeria. The objective is to characterize the epidemiological, clinical, pathological, molecular, and therapeutic features of patients diagnosed with lung cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and carcinoid tumors.

Eligible participants are adults aged 18 years or older, diagnosed at the time of inclusion or within the previous 12 months, and fully managed in oncology or pulmonology departments. Data are collected during routine clinical care and recorded in a secure electronic case report form (eCRF). No protocol-mandated interventions or study-specific visits are required.

The study plans to enroll approximately 1,500 patients per year over a 30-month period. Primary outcomes include demographic and clinical profiles, tumor histology, molecular markers, staging at diagnosis, and treatment strategies (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy). Secondary outcomes include treatment-related toxicities, objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), time to treatment discontinuation (TTD), and overall survival (OS).

The findings from this registry will provide real-world evidence to support national health planning, improve lung cancer management, and guide future clinical and public health initiatives in Algeria.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years

Histologically confirmed diagnosis of lung cancer (NSCLC, SCLC, or carcinoid tumor)

Diagnosed at the time of inclusion or within the 12 previous months

Fully managed (diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up) in an oncology or pulmonology department of one of the 21 participating public/university hospitals

Disqualifiers

Prior enrollment in this study

Participation in an interventional clinical trial

Trial population

Adult patients diagnosed with lung cancer (NSCLC, SCLC, or carcinoid tumors), recruited across 21 public or university hospitals in Algeria. Patients must have been diagnosed within 12 months prior to inclusion and be managed entirely within the public healthcare system.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of lung cancer patients in Algeria

Patient age, sex, smoking history, comorbidities (e.g., COPD, diabetes, cardiovascular disease) and ECOG performance status, collected via eCRFs at inclusion in 21 oncology and pulmonology centers.

Time frame
At baseline (inclusion)
2

Histological type and stage of lung cancer at diagnosis

Histological subtypes (NSCLC, SCLC, carcinoid tumors) and TNM stage of disease at diagnosis.

Time frame
At baseline (diagnosis/inclusion)
3

Molecular profile of tumors

Frequency of molecular alterations (EGFR, ALK, KRAS, PD-L1, ROS1, RET, HER2, NTRK1, BRAF, MET, PIK3CA, MEK1) identified in tumor samples at diagnosis.

Time frame
At baseline (inclusion)
4

First-line treatment modalities

Type of initial treatment received (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy).

Time frame
At baseline (initiation of treatment)

Secondary outcomes

1

Treatment-related toxicity according to CTCAE

Incidence, type, classification, severity, and impact of adverse events related to lung cancer treatments, assessed with CTCAE criteria.

Time frame
From treatment initiation up to 12 months
2

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

Proportion of patients achieving complete or partial tumor response, assessed according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, based on real-world clinical and radiological data.

Time frame
From treatment initiation up to 12 months
3

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

Time from treatment initiation to first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Time frame
From treatment initiation up to 12 months
4

Time to Treatment Discontinuation (TTD)

Time from treatment initiation to discontinuation of therapy for any reason, including toxicity, disease progression, or patient/physician decision.

Time frame
From treatment initiation up to 12 months
