About this study

Official title: Detection of Early Lung Cancer Among Military Personnel Study 1 (DECAMP-1): Diagnosis and Surveillance of Indeterminate Pulmonary Nodules

The goal is to improve the efficiency of the diagnostic follow-up of patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules by determining whether biomarkers for lung cancer diagnosis that are measured in minimally invasive biospecimens are able to distinguish malignant from benign pulmonary nodules that are incidentally detected in high-risk smokers.

Read the detailed description

The Detection of Early lung Cancer Among Military Personnel (DECAMP) consortium is a multidisciplinary and translational research program that includes 7 Veterans Administration Hospitals (VAH), the 4 designated Military Treatment Facilities (MTF) and 4 academic hospitals as clinical study sites, several molecular biomarker laboratories, along with Biostatics, Bioinformatics, Pathology and Biorepository cores. The DECAMP Coordinating Center will facilitate rapid selection, design and execution of clinical studies within this multi-institutional consortium. The goal will be accomplished by recruiting 500 smokers with indeterminate pulmonary nodules (0.7cm - 3.0cm) on chest CT who will undergo fiberoptic bronchoscopy and will be followed for 2 years until a final diagnosis is made. The diagnostic performance of four previously established lung cancer biomarkers in this cohort will be validated; 1) a gene-expression biomarker measured in bronchial airway brushings; 2) a proteomic signatures measured in bronchial airway biopsies; 3) a proteomic signature measured in serum; and 4) a signature of serum cytokines. The added value of the molecular markers to clinical and imaging markers routinely used in the diagnostic work up of these patients and develop an integrated model (i.e. clinical, imaging \& molecular markers) that results in the most robust diagnostic predictor will be evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Boston University 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 8 inclusion and 4 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 15 Mar 2022. 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?

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?

Lung Cancer (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01785342, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 15 Mar 2022.
