About this study

Official title: Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT) in a Phase I Patient Population

RATIONALE: Measuring how well the lungs work in patients with cancer may help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment and help plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying lung function testing in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To obtain the distribution of DLCO, FVC, and FEV_1 by pulmonary function testing (PFT) in patients with heavily pretreated locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors referred to the Karmanos Cancer Institute (KCI) Phase I Clinical Trials Program.
  • To estimate the mean DLCO to within 4 units (% of predicted) of the true mean with 95% confidence.

Secondary

  • To estimate the percentage of patients who meet the defined eligibility criteria (including PFT levels, especially DLCO) from the entire population enrolled in the KCI Phase I Clinical Trials Program.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo pulmonary function testing comprising spirometry test, lung volumes, and DLCO measurement utilizing the single-breath breath-holding technique. Patients then proceed to treatment on a phase I clinical trial.

Being tested
pulmonary function testing
Keywords
unspecified adult solid tumor, protocol specific

What participants receive

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

  • pulmonary function testingProcedure or surgery

    Also called PFT

    After signing consent, patients will undergo a complete spirometry test, lung volumes and diffusing capacity (DLCO) measurement utilizing the single-breath breath holding technique, according to the ATS/ERS consensus and standardization.

Pulmonary Function Test (PFT)OtherAfter signing consent, patients will undergo a complete spirometry test, lung volumes and diffusing capacity (DLCO) measurement utilizing the single-breath breath holding technique, according to the ATS/ERS consensus and standardization. PFT measurements will be reported as absolute values (e.g. liters) and percentage of predicted. The predicted normal values will be calculated according to sex, age, height and race using the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) reference equation. Predicted values for diffusion capacity will be calculated using the Morris/Polgar equation. DLCO values will be adjusted to anemia (hemoglobin levels)
Receives: Procedure: pulmonary function testing

What is being measured

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

  1. DLCO, FVC, and FEV1 as measured by pulmonary function testing

    Measured: Prior to participation in a Phase I trial

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing pulmonary function testing in people with Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute 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?

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 8 Mar 2021. 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?

DLCO, FVC, and FEV1 as measured by pulmonary function testing (time frame: Prior to participation in a Phase I 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 8 Mar 2021.
