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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patient with any stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who will undergo imaging with CT of the chest with intravenous contrast as standard of care. Other imaging tests will be performed as clinically indicated.
  • Patient should be receiving, or planning to receive, or have received systemic therapy (chemotherapy and/or novel agents) treatment with or without radiotherapy. Patients should not be receiving adjuvant or postoperative treatment but neoadjuvant treatment is allowed.
  • Histologically or cytologically proven NSCLC.
  • At least one measurable primary or other intrathoracic/supraclavicular lesion ≥ 1 cm, according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST); this lesion should be either proven to be malignant by biopsy or be considered malignant based on its evolution on previous imaging studies. A scan within 3-6 months prior to registration can be used as the baseline scan.
  • Age 18 years or older and ability to provide informed consent.
  • Subjects must use medically appropriate contraception if sexually active; women of childbearing potential must not be pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Subjects must have normal renal function to participate. Standard laboratory testing to evaluate renal function will be performed prior to administering IV contrast and will be available as standard of care. Renal impairment is defined as a glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 BSA, derived from the patients' serum creatinine concentration.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects of reproductive potential, who are sexually active but unwilling and/or unable to use medically appropriate contraception, or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • Established allergy to iodine containing contrast media

About this study

Official title: CTP (Computed Tomography Perfusion) Imaging of Lung Cancer

This is an experimental study of the feasibility and efficacy of CT perfusion (CTP) imaging (CT blood flow measurements) in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

Drug/Device Information

  1. Contrast

30 cc bolus of a low osmolar, iodinated CT contrast agent, which is FDA approved and used in the clinical CT Imaging procedure.

  1. Scanner

The 64 row-multidetector row CT unit (LightSpeed VCT, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI) is FDA approved for clinical CT imaging

Research Design and Methods

  1. Primary Endpoint
  2. Diagnostic yield of tumor perfusion measurements using a contrast assisted computed tomography technique.
  3. Secondary Endpoints
  4. Reproducibility of tumor blood flow estimates derived by CT.
  5. Assessment of the association between tumor vascularity responses after two cycles of chemotherapy and subsequent best tumor response according to standard anatomic response evaluation criteria (RECIST).
  6. Predictive value of tumor blood flow for patient survival, compared to the predictive power of tumor size determinations.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CT PerfusionOther

    Subjects will be examined with a CTP Imaging protocol which comprises repeated CT-scans of the tumor over a period of 50 seconds following the injection of a 30cc bolus of an FDA-approved low osmolar, iodinated CT contrast agent using a 64 row-multidetector row CT unit (LightSpeed VCT, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI). One scan will be acquired every 3 seconds over a 50s period at 100 kV, and 100mA tube current. With this method, a 4cm long segment of the tumor can be analyzed, and 32 images of a slice thickness of 1.25 mm reconstructed simultaneously. Images will be evaluated using standard CT blood flow software (Perfusion 2, AW, GE Health Care, Milwaukee, WI).

Arm A CT PerfusionOtherArm A Procedure On the first required study visit, subject will undergo one SOC CT scan followed by the research component: * CTP imaging: Single bed position CTP examination, which includes injection of 30 cc of contrast agent, over the predetermined lesion from clinical scan * Subject will stand up and walk around, and then lay back down * CT Perfusion imaging: Second single bed position CTP examination, which includes injection of 30 cc of contrast agent, over the predetermined lesion from their clinical scan Procedures will be repeated at optional second study visit ~6-8 weeks later.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic yield of tumor perfusion measurements using a contrast assisted computed tomography technique.

    Measured: Data collected during one required study visit, and optional second study visit ~6-8 weeks later.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Reproducibility of tumor blood flow estimates derived by CT.

    Measured: Data collected during one required study visit, and optional second study visit ~6-8 weeks later.

  2. Assessment of the association between tumor vascularity responses after two cycles of chemotherapy and subsequent best tumor response according to standard anatomic response evaluation criteria (RECIST).

    Measured: Data collected during one required study visit, and optional second study visit ~6-8 weeks later.

  3. Predictive value of tumor blood flow for patient survival, compared to the predictive power of tumor size determinations.

    Measured: Data collected during one required study visit, and optional second study visit ~6-8 weeks later; and during SOC follow-up for survival.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CT Perfusion in people with Carcinoma, Non Small Cell Lung, run by University of Pittsburgh at 3 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?

The sponsor lists 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Oct 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 was stopped early (reason given: Co-PI left institution, PI not pursuing). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Diagnostic yield of tumor perfusion measurements using a contrast assisted computed tomography technique. (time frame: Data collected during one required study visit, and optional second study visit ~6-8 weeks later.). 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 21 Oct 2015.
