Trial summary

One of the main challenges of thoracic oncology lies in earlier diagnosis of lung cancer to improve survival rate, wich is about 15% at 5 years. This poor prognosis is often linked to late diagnosis. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patient with pulmonary nodule showed in scanner (defined as a rounded picture higher than 5 mm and less than 30 mm in the lung parenchyma) presenting at one of the 3 participant services and meeting the inclusion criteria and exclusion.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with suspected abnormal chest X-ray image of malignancy defined by one solitary pulmonary nodule (NPS) NPS or 2 if operable, higher than 5 mm and less to 30 mm, without histological evidence.
  • Affiliation to social security.
  • Signature of informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Nodule not accessible to curative local therapy (surgery, thermoablation, radiotherapy).
  • Patients in whom resection for diagnostic purposes this emergency such as one of these characters can not be delayed (these patients are not likely to belong to the people that can take a dosage of clinical interest miRNAs because the characteristics radiographic their nodule only tell them a high probability of lung cancer)
  • History of an unhealed cancer
  • Patients benefiting from a system of legal protection

About this study

Official title: Quantification of microRNAs in Diagnosis of Pulmonary Nodules: Reproducibility Analysis of Intra- and Inter-observer and Inter-laboratory: Project miR-Nod

One of the main challenges of thoracic oncology lies in earlier diagnosis of lung cancer to improve survival rate, wich is about 15% at 5 years. This poor prognosis is often linked to late diagnosis. Efforts are being made worldwide to offer testing in patients at risk or earlier diagnosis of lung cancer in order to offer the patient curative treatments. Indeed, supported at the stage of nodule (less than 3 cm lesion), lung cancer is curable by surgery in 80% of patients. Nevertheless, there are many differential diagnoses and access to these lesions is often difficult and risky. In this context, the management of pulmonary nodules, which can be either benign lesions or beginners cancers, is a real challenge for pulmonologists and thoracic oncologists every day: it is important not to disregard a potentially operable nodule and avoiding offer patients invasive procedures for benign nodules. Indeed, many procedures (endoscopy, puncture under scanner, thoracotomy) are made to determine if suspicious nodules are benign or not. In the large National Lung Screening Trial, 28% of the procedures were associated with complications (including 11% classified severe and 16 deaths). It is therefore essential to develop non-invasive tools to refine treatment decisions.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Blood punctionOther

    1 blood punction during the normal pathway of care of the patient. This punction will be used to perform the extraction of micro RNA.

What is being measured

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

  1. 34 micro RNA extraction as assessed by quantification of micro RNA with Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription polymerase chain reaction

    Measured: Through the completion of study (18 months)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Measure the inter-observer reproducibility as assessed by quantification of micro RNA in total blood with Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription polymerase chain reaction

    Measured: Through the completion of study (18 months)

  2. Measure the inter-laboratory reproducibility as assessed by rate of micro RNA in total blood with Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription polymerase chain reaction

    Measured: Through the completion of study (18 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Cancer, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 2 sites in France.

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 3 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 16 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

34 micro RNA extraction as assessed by quantification of micro RNA with Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription polymerase chain reaction (time frame: Through the completion of study (18 months)). 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 16 Jul 2019.
