Trial summary

The goal of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of using a novel, validated panel of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) histology-predictive genes (the "A/S signature) as a diagnostic tool for use with small-volume Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA) biopsies.

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

Study population: primary care clinic

Who may be able to join

  • Patients undergoing a diagnostic FNA by the following diagnostic modalities utilizing FNA: Trans-thoracic Needle Biopsy (TNB), Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), Trans-esophageal Ultrasound Scanning with FNA (EUS-FNA).
  • Patients must have radiographic evidence for presumed lung cancer or have a previously diagnosed NSCLC with potential recurrence. Patient undergoing FNA of potential NSCLC metastatic lesions are also included (e.g., patients with hepatic metastases).
  • Age >18 years. Used to define adult age who can independently provide consent.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • Patients whose FNA biopsy is unable to provide subtype classification by pathology or is non-diagnostic.

About this study

The goal of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of using a novel, validated panel of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) histology-predictive genes (the "A/S signature) as a diagnostic tool for use with small-volume Fine Needle Aspirate (FNA) biopsies.

Objectives:

  1. To establish FNA biopsy requirements for FNA-based subtype classification of NSCLC.
  2. To define a "fixed statistical model" of histologic subtype prediction in NSCLC.

Study methods: To establish FNA biopsy requirements for gene expression-based subtype classification of NSCLC, patients with presumed newly diagnosed NSCLC, where radiographic studies and clinical description favor a probable diagnosis of NSCLC, will undergo FNA biopsy according to current standard techniques . For this part of the study, approximately 40 biopsies of confirmed NSCLC will be collected for analysis.

To define a fixed statistical model of histologic subtype prediction in NSCLC, we will prospectively collect 50 FNAs. These FNAs will represent Adenocarcinoma (AC) and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) cases at a ratio of approximately 1:1. Additional cases of not otherwise specified (NOS), should they be encountered, may also be collected for later analysis. FNA samples qualified based on cell number or ribonucleic acid (RNA) yield (depending on the findings of our primary objective)will be assayed on the QGS platform.

What is being measured

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

  1. Use of Ribonucleic acid-based molecular signature of tumor samples obtained by fine needle aspirate to discriminate subtypes of tumors relevant to treatment and outcomes.

    To test a an 8-gene panel's accuracy in discriminating Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer tumors subtypes that are relevant to treatment and expected outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2018. 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?

Use of Ribonucleic acid-based molecular signature of tumor samples obtained by fine needle aspirate to discriminate subtypes of tumors relevant to treatment and outcomes. (time frame: Day 1). 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 3 Jul 2018.
