About this study

Official title: Identification of Circulating Tumor Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Lung Cancer Patients (Old Title: Significance of CD44 and or Epithelial Specific Antigen Positive Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Lung Cancer Patients) (LUN0017)

The primary aim of this study is to determine whether we can identify human lung cancer tumor cells in the peripheral blood of lung cancer patients.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2022. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

to determine whether we can identify human lung cancer tumor cells in the peripheral blood of lung cancer patients using cell surface markers found on cancer cells. (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 22 Jun 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
