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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients (male or female) with Lung cancer.

Who may be able to join

  • Potential participants in the Lung Cancer Case Registry will be all patients diagnosed or evaluated for possible treatment of lung cancer at the CRTC and NMVHCS. Recruiting will primarily be performed through the Multidisciplinary Chest Clinics held weekly at each hospital. These clinics are staffed by the Principal Investigator (PI) and Reza Mehran, MD, a thoracic surgeon at both hospitals and a co-investigator on this submission. Approximately 90% of all lung cancer cases diagnosed at the NMVHCS, and a somewhat smaller proportion of cases treated in the Cancer Center, are seen in these clinics. Additional cases will be identified through review of new patient visits to each hospital with a diagnosis of lung cancer; Drs. Crowell and Mehran also maintain weekly contact with pathology and oncology services at both facilities, which will facilitate case identification at NMVHCS and University Hospital. Finally, patient contact records will be correlated with tumor registry records at both hospitals, which will identify any cases not captured through the above mechanisms. Although these cases may be identified several weeks after initial diagnosis, all attempts will still be made to contact the patient and family for enrollment into the registry. Most Spanish-speaking patients served by the CRTC and the NMVHCS are bilingual, and a language barrier has not been a problem in other similar studies conducted by the PI. However, Spanish-speaking personnel are available to obtain consent and answer any questions if necessary.

Who cannot join

  • Patients will be excluded if they cannot provide written informed consent.

About this study

Potential participants in the Lung Cancer Case Registry will be all patients diagnosed or evaluated for possible treatment of lung cancer at the Cancer Research and Treatment Center (CRTC) and New Mexico Veterans Health Care System (NMVHCS).

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in the US in both men and women. This research study will enroll lung cancer patients into a registry to study changes in DNA (or genetic material) that may be associated with development of lung cancer or other lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We will also study the role of eating habits on lung cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as the effects of the disease and treatment on quality of patient's lives.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by University of New Mexico at 2 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 1 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2024. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: This is not a clinical trial and was inadvertently entered into the system.). 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

DNA Change (time frame: one year). 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 8 Jan 2024.
