Trial summary

Promising new technology exists to examine small proteins that are shed by cancers into the blood stream. The purpose of this study is to see if there are differences in the proteins and protein levels in blood from individuals with early stage lung cancer compared to healthy adults.

About this study

Official title: Differences in SELDI Produced Serum Protein Profiles of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Compared to Healthy Heavy Smoking Adults

Promising new technology exists to examine small proteins that are shed by cancers into the blood stream. The purpose of this study is to see if there are differences in the proteins and protein levels in blood from individuals with early stage lung cancer compared to healthy adults.

Read the detailed description

A prospective longitudinal patient-based pilot study is proposed whereby surfaced enhanced laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (SELDI-TOF-MS) will be used to discover and validate serum proteomic expression profiles diagnostic of early lung cancer. A unique approach will be used to compare the serum proteomic expression profiles of patients with non-small cell lung cancer compared to healthy heavy smoking adults, as well as differences before and after anatomic pulmonary resection with curative intent. Discriminatory proteins will be selected by their differential expression before compared to after surgical removal of a tumor. The protein profile of blood obtained from the draining pulmonary vein at the time of resection will be used to identify materials potentially shed by the tumor that may serve as biomarkers in peripheral blood. The serum samples will be used to develop a training data set and then a test set for validation using a class prediction model. Candidate proteomic patterns will then serve as a basis for a larger prospective multi-centre clinical trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of British Columbia at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jennifer Rattenbury (604-875-4111 ext. 62183, jrattenbury@shaw.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Nov 2011.
