Study population: Subjects with pulmonary lesions suspicious for lung cancer

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects who meet all of the following criteria may be enrolled in this Study:
  • Subject is male or female, age 18 or older.
  • Subject has undergone CT scan of the lung(s) that indicates one or more nodules or lesions suspicious for lung cancer.
  • Subject's pulmonary nodule or lesion is greater than 4mm. Size is determined by the largest nodule or lesion dimension identified from CT imaging.
  • Subject meets one or more of the following conditions:
  • indicated for a tissue biopsy
Show all 12Show fewer
  • indicated for surgical resection of the lung
  • Subject must be able to receive a ProLung Test
  • within 60 days of abnormal CT (Inclusion Criterion 2 \& 3)
  • within 60 days prior to the tissue biopsy or surgical resection (Inclusion Criterion 4).
  • Subject is capable of understanding and agreeing to fulfill the requirements of this Protocol.
  • Subject has signed the IRB/IEC approved Informed Consent Form ("ICF").

Who cannot join

  • The following criteria will disqualify a subject from enrollment into this Study:
  • Subject has an implanted electronic device in the chest.
  • Subject receiving therapy for suspected chest infection such as fungal infection or tuberculosis.
  • Subject with diagnosed malignancy other than lung cancer, non-melanoma skin cancer or any cancer in which the Principal Investigator does not suspect metastatic disease to the lung, who has 2 or more suspicious pulmonary nodules.
  • Subject has received an invasive medical or surgical procedure within the thoracic cavity within 30 days prior to the ProLung Test or within the previous 14 days for a bronchoscopic procedure.
  • Subject presents with an anomalous physical or anatomical condition that precludes ProLung Test measurement.
  • Subject will have undergone unusually strenuous exercise within 24 hours.
  • Subject who has significant systemic diseases such as uncontrolled diabetes, advanced heart failure, or a recent myocardial infarction, or other medical condition such as severe morbid obesity that in the judgment of the Principal Investigator would make him/her unsuitable for the Study.

About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center Trial of the ProLung Test™ (Transthoracic Bioconductance Measurement) as an Adjunct to CT Chest Scans for the Risk Stratification of Patients With Pulmonary Lesions Suspicious for Lung Cancer

The primary Study hypothesis is that the ProLung Test will demonstrate safety and efficacy in the risk stratification of patients with pulmonary lesions identified by CT that are suspicious for lung cancer. A statistically significant result will indicate that patients with a high ProLung Test result have a greater risk of developing lung cancer than patients with a low test result.

There are three Specific Aims of this study:

Read more
  1. Optimize and confirm the stability of the ProLung Test risk-stratification algorithm in patients with a diagnosis.
  2. Externally validate the efficacy of the ProLung Test risk-stratification algorithm by comparing the test result to the conclusive patient diagnosis.
  3. Assess the safety and tolerability of the ProLung Test procedures.

Study Design This Study consists of two distinct phases, Stabilization and Validation. The Study will collect data from multiple sites (3 to 12), and each site may enroll patients and collect data for the Stabilization and Validation Phases with a minimum of three sites for the Validation Phase.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Clinical Efficacy in the Risk Stratification of Patients With Indeterminate Lesions

    Demonstrate safety and efficacy in the risk stratification of patients with pulmonary lesions identified by CT that are suspicious for lung cancer.

    Measured: The ProLung Test will be performed within 60 days of a CT Scan that identifies a lung lesion suspicious for lung cancer and evaluated once a patient diagnosis is obtained.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Solitary Pulmonary Nodule and Multiple Pulmonary Nodules, run by Fresh Medical Laboratories at 15 sites in United States.

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 12 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Aug 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Clinical Efficacy in the Risk Stratification of Patients With Indeterminate Lesions (time frame: The ProLung Test will be performed within 60 days of a CT Scan that identifies a lung lesion suspicious for lung cancer and evaluated once a patient diagnosis is obtained.). 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 4 Sep 2019.
