Trial summary

Patients treated with radiation therapy for lung tumors can experience inflammation after treatment. This study hopes to evaluate the use of breath analysis to evaluate changes in the composition of exhaled breath in patients undergoing radiotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Breath Analysis for Evaluation of Radiation Exposure in Lung Cancer Patients Treated With Radiation: A Feasibility Study

Patients treated with radiation therapy for lung tumors can experience inflammation after treatment. This study hopes to evaluate the use of breath analysis to evaluate changes in the composition of exhaled breath in patients undergoing radiotherapy. If changes can be detected, this may ultimately serve as biomarkers for identifying patients at highest risk for radiation-induced lung injury (radiation pneumonitis).

What participants receive

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

  • Exhaled Breath SamplingProcedure or surgery

    Also called breath gas analysis

    Standard of care

What is being measured

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

  1. Pre and post-radiation FeNO (fraction of exhaled nitric oxide) measurements

    Measured: Every 3 months for 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pre and post-radiation CO (carbon monoxide), CO2 (carbon dioxide), and N2O (nitrous oxide) measurements and feasibility as the fraction of patients unable to give a breath sample. Adverse events are not expected but any that appear related to the breath

    Measured: 1 yr

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Stanford University 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2016. 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?

Pre and post-radiation FeNO (fraction of exhaled nitric oxide) measurements (time frame: Every 3 months for 1 year). 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 1 Jul 2016.
