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 45 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: High risk for lung cancer and age matched normal volunters

Who may be able to join

  • - Adults > 45 years of age, to be age matched with a previously enrolled cohort of current and ex-smokers with airflow obstruction and moderate atypia on sputum cytology, to be included in the following groups.
  • - Non-smoking (less than 100 cigarettes per lifetime) controls >50 years of age, to be age matched with a previously enrolled cohort with airflow obstruction (FEV1 < 75% predicted and FEV1/FVC < 75%) and moderate atypia on sputum cytology.
  • - Current smokers with > 30 pack years, no airflow obstruction (FEV1 > 90% predicted) or lung cancer, >50 years of age, to be age matched with a previously enrolled cohort with airflow obstruction and moderate atypia on sputum cytology .
  • - No prior history of a head and neck or bronchogenic carcinoma.
  • - Patients must be fully informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign an informed consent in accordance with institutional and FDA guidelines.

Who cannot join

  • - Clinically apparent bleeding diathesis.
  • - Cardiac dysrhythmia that is potentially life-threatening, such as ventricular tachycardia, multifocal premature ventricular contractions or supraventricular tachycardias with a rapid ventricular response. Well-controlled atrial fibrillation or rare (< 2/minute) premature ventricular contractions are not exclusionary.
  • - Hypoxemia (less than 90% saturation with supplemental oxygen) during bronchoscopy.
  • - Evidence of clinically active coronary artery disease, including myocardial infarction within 6 weeks, chest pain, or poorly controlled congestive heart failure, or any other serious medical condition which would preclude a patient from undergoing a bronchoscopy.
  • - Acute bronchitis or pneumonia within 8 weeks.
  • - Inability to give informed consent.
  • - Current smokers with no airflow obstruction may not have a history of coughing more than two times /week.

About this study

Official title: Analysis of Intermediate Endpoint Biomarkers in the Respiratory Epithelium of Smokers Compared to Non-Smoking Controls

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from smokers and non-smokers in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This phase II study is looking at biomarkers in the nose, throat, and lung tissue of smokers and non-smokers.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Define the molecular and biochemical profiles of airway epithelium of smokers with no disease, smokers with airflow obstruction and abnormal sputum cytology, and non-smokers.

Secondary

  • Assess the occurrence of abnormalities in non-smokers, smokers with no disease, smokers with various grades of dysplasia, and smokers with lung cancer.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to smoking status (smoker vs non-smoker) and disease (no disease vs airflow obstruction and abnormal sputum cytology vs various grades of dysplasia vs lung cancer).

Biological samples are collected and analyzed for future research studies.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 78 patients will be accrued for this study.

Keywords
non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, squamous lung dysplasia
Medical subject headings
Lung Neoplasms, Precancerous Conditions, Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

What is being measured

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

  1. Molecular and biochemical profiles

    Evaluation of both Molecular and Biochemical profiles of normal non-smokers, smokers with no apparent disease (no airflow obstruction or cancer), and smokers with airflow obstruction and abnormal sputum cytology.

    Measured: Upon completion of trial

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Occurrence of abnormalities

    Stratify abnormalities as to whether they occur frequently in normal non-smokers, smokers without disease, smokers with various grades of dysplasia, or smokers with lung cancer.

    Measured: Upon completion of trial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Precancerous Condition, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 7 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 15 May 2020. 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?

Molecular and biochemical profiles (time frame: Upon completion of trial). 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 15 May 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
