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 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: * Group 1 (experimental group): 250 lung cancer patients undergoing surgery, with 13-C-glucose infusion); * Group 2 (control group): 250 lung cancer patients undergoing surgery, without 13-C-glucose infusion); and * Group 3 (healthy subjects): 250 subjects to provide 1 blood sample and 1 urine sample.

Who may be able to join

  • patients with suspected, clinically diagnosed, or histologically diagnosed lung cancer. Occasionally, other cancers (including metastatic cancers to the lung) may be resected for the study as negative controls for NSCLC, as warranted by the particulars of the case.
  • patients must have general medical conditions to allow them to undergo surgical resection of their primary tumor
  • at least 30 years of age
  • preferably be fasting for 12 hours (minimum 8 hours) prior to enrollment

Who cannot join

  • history of diabetes for the experimental group (surgery + glucose); patients with a history of diabetes are allowed in the control group (surgery/no glucose)
  • known hepatitis C or HIV (AIDS)
  • Healthy Subjects (Group 3)
  • prior history of diagnosed lung cancer
  • known hepatitis C or HIV (AIDS)

About this study

Official title: Preoperative Metabolomic Analysis of Primary Lung Cancer: A Translational Clinical Trial of the Brown Cancer Center

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the metabolic properties of lung cancer cells.

Read the detailed description

It has long been known that cancer cells absorb and break down substances in the body differently than healthy, non-cancer cells. This process of absorbing and breaking down substances is known as metabolism and is increased in cancer cells. Recent research suggests that this increased metabolic activity makes it easier for cancer cells to multiply. The objective of the study is to characterize the metabolism of glucose by lung tumors by serum metabolite analysis, using a variant of glucose (sugar) which makes up 1% of glucose in nature.

What participants receive

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

  • 13-C-glucoseOther

    10 grams of 13-C-glucose intravenously, as a 30-minute "piggyback" infusion, 2 to 6 hours prior to scheduled surgical resection of primary lung cancer.

Study groups in NCT00263731
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1 (Experimental Group)250 subjects with suspected or confirmed lung cancer undergoing surgical resection, will receive 13-C-glucose prior to surgery
Receives: Other: 13-C-glucose
Group 2 (Control Group)250 subjects with suspected or confirmed lung cancer undergoing surgical resection, will not receive 13-C-glucose prior to surgery
Group 3 (Healthy Subjects)250 healthy subjects (must be at least 30 years of age and have no prior history of diagnosed lung cancer) will provide 1 blood sample and 1 urine sample.

What is being measured

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

  1. metabolic profiles of cancerous vs. healthy lung tissue

    Measured: after 13-C-glucose infusion

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. glycolytic metabolism in plasma

    Measured: before and after 13-C-glucose infusion

  2. metabolic markers in urine

    Measured: collected during surgery

  3. metabolic markers in serum

    Measured: before and after 13-C-glucose infusion

  4. metabolic markers in bronchoalveolar fluid

    Measured: during diagnostic bronchoscopy or during surgery

  5. metabolic markers in expired breath

    Measured: during surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small Cell Lung and Carcinoma, Small Cell Lung, run by University of Louisville 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?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 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 9 May 2022. 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.

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?

metabolic profiles of cancerous vs. healthy lung tissue (time frame: after 13-C-glucose infusion). 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 9 May 2022.
