About this study

Primary Objectives:

  • Construct a prospective cohort of patients diagnosed with lung cancer and dispositioned for treatment and collect information on symptoms and symptom treatments at baseline and on follow-up.
  • Develop preliminary statistical models incorporating genetic data (which will be obtained from an existing protocol, CPN 91-001, Margaret Spitz), disease-related variables (e.g., stage of disease, location of tumor), clinical health status (e.g., performance status, comorbid conditions), and sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., age, sex, race) for predicting the risk of severe and persistent symptoms.

Analytical aim: To determine if symptoms (e.g., fatigue, depression, lack of appetite) will differ in severity by IL-6 gene polymorphisms (-174G/C, -597G/A, -572G/C, -373An/Tn).

This study (NIH-CA109043, Reyes-Gibby, 2004-2009) builds upon an NIH-funded (NIH-CA55769, Spitz, 2003-2008) study of the molecular epidemiology of lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

If you agree to take part in this study, upon being admitted for treatment, you will be asked about your symptoms (how severe they are and to what degree they affect your day-to-day functioning).

You will be asked to fill out a symptoms questionnaire each time you are at the clinic for your treatment and for your follow-up visits. The questionnaire will take about 5 to 10 minutes to complete each time.

You may also be contacted at home so that researchers can follow-up on your experience with symptoms (only if you are not able to come to the clinic for your chemoradiation treatment or follow-up visits). If you are contacted by phone, the call should last about 5 to 10 minutes each time.

Researchers will also try to collect some of your leftover blood (that was already drawn and stored for research studies) from a previous lung cancer study (Ecogenetics of Lung Cancer) that you participated in at M. D. Anderson. Researchers will use your leftover blood sample to look at certain genes in your blood that may affect your symptoms. If you did not have blood collected in the previous lung cancer study, you will have a blood sample (one tablespoon) drawn when you first agree to participate in this study.

This is an investigational study. Up to 320 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson 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?

The sponsor lists 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2019. 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?

Patient Symptom Severity (MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Questionnaire) (time frame: Baseline (before), during (every week for 6 weeks), and after chemoradiation therapy (at 6-12 week intervals)). 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 4 Jun 2019.
