Trial summary

RATIONALE: Doctors can diagnose lung cancer by collecting mucus coughed up from the lungs and examining it under a microscope to look for cancer cells. Breathing in INS316 may make it easier for patients to cough up mucus. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation Of Uridine 5-Triphosphate Solution For Inhalation (UTP) As An Adjunct In The Diagnosis Of Lung Cancer By Sputum Cytology

RATIONALE: Doctors can diagnose lung cancer by collecting mucus coughed up from the lungs and examining it under a microscope to look for cancer cells. Breathing in INS316 may make it easier for patients to cough up mucus.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of INS316 in helping to diagnose lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether a cytological diagnosis of lung cancer can be obtained more frequently from sputum specimens following inhalation of INS316 compared to specimens obtained following placebo or compared to specimens spontaneously expectorated in patients with untreated lung cancer. II. Assess the relative sensitivity of sputum cytology in the diagnosis of lung malignancies in this patient population using these sputum collection regimens. III. Determine the quantity of macrophages in sputum of these patients using these techniques. IV. Determine if the number of macrophages in sputum obtained by these methods is predictive of the likelihood of obtaining a positive diagnosis of lung cancer in these patients. V. Determine the total amount of sputum expectorated from these patients using these techniques.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to one of two arms, then cross-over to the other arm. Arm I: Patients receive INS316 by inhalation via a nebulizer. Sputum is collected throughout the dosing and for 1 hour post dosing. Arm II: Patients receive placebo in the same manner as INS136 in arm I. All patients receive both treatments. Patients receive the first dose no more than 7 days after screening, and the second dose 3 to 10 days after the first dose. Patients are followed 1 day after completion of the second treatment. The sputum samples are fixed and examined cytologically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 100-130 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing INS316 and sputum cytology in people with Lung Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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?

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 26 Jun 2013. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 26 Jun 2013.
