About this study

Official title: Identification and Validation of Molecular Markers in Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue, blood, sputum, and urine from patients with lung cancer and from healthy participants in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at biomarkers for lung cancer using tissue samples from patients with lung cancer and from healthy participants.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To identify new molecular abnormalities specific to the development of squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
  • To determine the prevalence of candidate biomarkers in lung cancer progression.
  • To determine the odds of developing lung cancer according to biomarker status in preinvasive lesions.
  • To determine the odds of developing lung cancer according to proteomic biomarker status in the normal bronchial epithelium of high-risk patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Tissue samples are collected at the time of fluorescence bronchoscopy for laboratory biomarker studies. Blood, sputum, and urine samples are also collected. Gene and protein expression studies are performed on the samples using comparative genomic hybridization array, 3q oligonucleotide microarray, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Patients' medical records are reviewed to collect information about the patient's past medical history and pertinent laboratory and radiography results.

Patients and healthy volunteers are followed annually via telephone or a mailed questionnaire.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center at 4 sites 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?

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 20 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

Identification of new molecular markers specific to the development of squamous cell lung cancer. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Apr 2017.
