About this study

Official title: Detection of Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) in Peripheral Blood From Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

Bone-marrow-derived progenitor cells (EPCS) play an important role in neovascularization and tumor growth. In lung cancer, angiogenesis is an important event in mechanisms of tumor proliferation and metastasis. Recent evidences suggest that EPCS can be recruited and differentiate in mature endothelial cells to form new blood vessels. The role of EPCs in NSCLC is unclear. In contrast, angiogenic drugs are proposed combined to systemic chemotherapy in NSCLC. The aim of this study is to identify EPCs in peripheral blood from patients with NSCLC, by comparison to Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disease (COPD), an inflammatory disease.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to study blood circulating levels bone-marrow-derived progenitor cells (EPCS).

In a first phase, EPCs will be detected in healthy non-smokers volunteers to validate flow cytometry method (n=25). In addition, EPC will e characterized by primary cultures to analyze EPC-specific markers.

In a second phase, EPCs will detect in peripheral blood from 50 patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and 50 patients with non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). Primary cultures will be made to confirm EPCS isolation.

Methods: EPCs will be numerated by flow cytometry using CD133, CD146, CD34, CD45 and VEGFR2 antibodies. Primary cultures will be used to identify EPCs at 5-days culture by the same markers. In addition, for BPCO et NSCLC patients, Vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) concentration will be measured in peripheral sera by ELISA commercial test.

Overall survival will be analyzed for NSCLC in function of initial EPCs concentration. Correlation will be studied between initial VEGF serum concentration and EPCs level.

This study focus on the possibility that EPC determination in peripheral blood could be used as a surrogate marker of standard or antiangiogenic treatment in NSCLC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of EPCs in peripheral blood from NSCLC patients. Comparison with healthy non-smokers patients and smokers with COPD.

    Measured: at the end of the first step of the study (2 months after the beguening of the study)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Characterization of EPCs by primary cultures. Correlation between initial EPCs and VEGF concentration in COPD and NSCLC patients Overall survival in NSCLC patients in relation to EPCs initial numeration

    Measured: at he end of the study (10 months after the beguening of the study)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Enumeration of endothelial cell progenitor in peripheral blood by flow cytometry, Endothelial cell progenitor characterization by primary cell cultures in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 1 site in France.

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 2 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 22 Aug 2016. 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 France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Number of EPCs in peripheral blood from NSCLC patients. Comparison with healthy non-smokers patients and smokers with COPD. (time frame: at the end of the first step of the study (2 months after the beguening of the study)). 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 22 Aug 2016.
