About this study

Official title: Detection of Gene Mutations in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Cells in Blood Samples or Fine-needle Aspiration

To compare the frequency of individual genetic abnormality between tumor cells and blood specimens.

Read the detailed description

Samples will be collected before the systemic therapy. After initiation of therapy, samples will be collected at end of the 1st month, at the end of the 2nd month at the end of 3rd months and once every three months thereafter concurrently with the tumor assessment such as time of performing CT scans. In selected consented patients, peripheral blood samples will be collected every week for the first month.

Disease status will be assessed every 2~3 months and at the end of treatment according to RECIST criteria. If progression is not observed at the end of therapy, patients will be assessed every 3 months until progression or further anti-cancer therapy. Progression-free survival, overall survival and response rate will be reported.

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the frequency of individual genetic abnormality in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who will commence systemic therapy.

    Measured: Samples will be collected before the systemic therapy, at the end of the first three months and once every 3 months. In selected consented patients, peripheral blood samples will be collected every week for the first month.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To determine the frequency with which molecular profiling of a NSCLC patient's tumor by DNA sequencing and/or FISH yields a target against which there is approved or investigational therapeutic regimen.

    Measured: Samples will be collected before the systemic therapy, at the end of the first three months and once every 3 months. In selected consented patients, peripheral blood samples will be collected every week for the first month.

  2. To determine the response rate according to RECIST, progression-free, and overall survival in patients with advanced NSCLC whose therapy is selected by molecular profile.

    Measured: Disease status will be assessed every 2~3 months and at the end of treatment according to RECIST criteria. If progression is not observed at the end of therapy, patients will be assessed every 3 months until progression or further anti-cancer therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2013. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ya-Ying Bai, M.S. (886-23123456 ext. 66589, yaying0508@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the frequency of individual genetic abnormality in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who will commence systemic therapy. (time frame: Samples will be collected before the systemic therapy, at the end of the first three months and once every 3 months. In selected consented patients, peripheral blood samples will be collected every week for the first month.). 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 2 Dec 2013.
