Trial summary

Recent studies have shown that low-dose chest CT scans can detect lung cancers in high-risk populations (age >50yo, >30 pack-years of tobacco use), and can lower cancer mortality. Unfortunately, the vast majority of "positive" findings on these CT scans are benign (>95%). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: NON-INVASIVE BIOMARKERS FOR EARLY DETECTION OF LUNG CANCERS: ELEMENT 1: NON-RANDOMIZED PHASE II EVALUATION AND VALIDATION IN NEWLY DIAGNOSED LUNG CANCER PATIENTS

Recent studies have shown that low-dose chest CT scans can detect lung cancers in high-risk populations (age >50yo, >30 pack-years of tobacco use), and can lower cancer mortality. Unfortunately, the vast majority of "positive" findings on these CT scans are benign (>95%). Currently, an inordinate amount of expensive follow-up testing is required for these patients to try to prove who among them truly has a cancer.

Several new emerging non-invasive and potentially cheaper tests are now being investigated to help differentiate patients with cancers versus just benign lung nodules. These new tests include a new type of sputum analysis, a breath analysis, a blood test measuring certain tumor markers, a blood test looking for auto-antibodies, and a standard PET/CT scan. Each of these tests have different sensitivity and specificity rates when looking for lung cancer, and it is unclear which test is best.

This study will employ a panel of all 5 of these non-invasive tests on an initial cohort of 50 patients with recently diagnosed lung cancer to try to measure the sensitivity of the tests. A follow-on study will then perform the same panel of tests on 300 lung nodule patients to see which test, or combination of tests, gives the best overall accuracy in terms of predicting who really has lung cancer. It is hoped that the use of such a panel could lead to dramatically decreased need for expensive and morbid invasive testing for this population.

Read the detailed description

The study revolves around specifying the exact signatures and accuracy associated with discriminating between benign and malignant SPNs for each of the biomarkers in the specific high risk cohort under the NLST screening protocol. To help identify and quantify these signatures, we will evaluate specifically the volatile signature in the exhaled breath, the accuracy of LuCED sputum detection, the profile of tumor markers and the specifications of auto-antibodies through immunoassays and Orbitrap technology, and the PET/CT in patients already diagnosed with lung cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Douglas W. Johnson MD, FACR at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 23 Jul 2014. 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.

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 23 Jul 2014.
