About this study

Official title: The Influence of Fluticasone Inhalation on Intermediate Markers of Carcinogenesis in the Bronchial Epithelium of a High Risk Population : A Double Blind Placebo-Controlled Randomised Phase II Study

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of fluticasone on the development of lung cancer in smokers

Read the detailed description

Bronchial epithelium exposed to cigarette smoke undergoes a series of histological changes that may ultimately lead to invasive cancer. In rats exposed to cigarette smoke inhaled corticosteroids reduce the number of lung tumors. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of fluticasone on premalignant lesions in volunteers with a smoking history of >10 pack-years and patients cured of head and neck cancer or lung cancer. Participants are screened for premalignant lesions by bronchoscopy and if these are present randomised to receive a powder inhalation device containing either fluticasone 500 μg or a placebo. After 6 months, biopsies are taken from the same locations. Efficacy of treatment is assessed by reversal of metaplasia/dysplasia; secondary end-points are reversal of increased p53 immunoreactivity and hTERT expression.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fluticasone propionate in people with Bronchogenic Carcinoma, run by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc at 2 sites in Netherlands.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 4 Dec 2006. 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 Netherlands. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Reversal of histological abnormality bronchial biopsies at 6 months. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00407264, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 4 Dec 2006.
