Segmentectomy Versus Lobectomy for Deep Solid-Dominant Early-Stage NSCLC

SOLID is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled, phase III non-inferiority trial comparing anatomic segmentectomy with lobectomy in patients with deeply located, solid-dominant, clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) measuring \<=2 cm. Eligible participants will undergo centralized imaging review and will be randomized preoperatively in a 1:1 ratio before induction of anesthesia.

The primary endpoint is 5-year overall survival. The key supportive secondary endpoint is 5-year recurrence-free survival. The study will enroll 1,200 participants and will use intention-to-treat analysis for the primary endpoint. An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board and an independent Endpoint Adjudication Committee will oversee safety, surgical quality, data quality, and endpoint adjudication.
