About this study

Official title: A Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study Of Uridine 5'-Triphosphate (UTP) Solution For Inhalation As An Adjunct In The Diagnosis Of Lung Cancer By Sputum Cytology

RATIONALE: INS316 may produce a better sputum sample for laboratory analysis and may provide a less invasive method of diagnosing lung cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized diagnostic trial to compare the effectiveness of INS316 with that of saline for sputum collection in diagnosing lung cancer in patients suspected of having lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the number of lung cancer diagnoses obtained from cytological evaluation of sputum expectorated after inhalation of INS316 versus normal saline as an adjunct for spontaneous expectoration of sputum in patients with suspected lung cancer.
  • Compare the relative sensitivity of sputum cytology in the diagnosis of primary lung cancer using these methods of sputum collection in these patients.
  • Compare the amount of sputum collected from patients using these methods.
  • Correlate the number of macrophages in sputum with the predictive likelihood of obtaining a positive diagnosis by sputum cytology in these patients.
  • Determine whether specificity of sputum cytology is adversely affected by induction with INS316 in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to tumor size and location as visualized by chest radiography, CT scan, or positron-emission tomography scan (peripheral tumor (distal to the subsegmental bronchi) no greater than 2 cm in diameter vs peripheral tumor greater than 2 cm in diameter vs central tumor no greater than 2 cm in diameter vs central tumor greater than 2 cm in diameter). Patients are randomized to one of two arms.

Prior to dosing with sputum induction adjunct, all patients expectorate sputum spontaneously.

  • Arm I: Patients receive a single dose of INS316 by inhalation.
  • Arm II: Patients receive a single dose of placebo (normal saline) by inhalation.

In both arms, patients expectorate sputum during dosing, immediately after dosing, and then within 15, 30, and 60 minutes after dosing.

Patients are followed on day 1 after dosing, for up to 8 weeks until a diagnosis is made, and then up to 3 months if diagnosis is malignant.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 800 patients (or until 600 confirmed diagnoses of malignancy are made) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing INS316 and sputum cytology in people with Lung Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 6 Nov 2013.
