About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial to Develop Chest Imaging, Breath, and Biomarkers in a Screening Trial

The investigators would like to see if lung cancer screening with chest x-rays,computer aided detection (CAD)and a lose dose CT scan can detect lung cancer in early stages when it is more responsive to treatment. The investigators would also like to see if early detection will reduce the incidence of symptomatic advanced lung cancer compared to no screening in former and current smokers with or without a family history of lung cancer who are 40-75 years old.

Read the detailed description

The fight against lung cancer is waged on three major fronts: prevention, detection and treatment. Our goal is to determine if chest x-rays,computer aided detection (CAD)and a CT scan can detect disease earlier when treatment is more effective. If we improve the detection of disease, we will see if screening reduces the incidence of symptomatic advanced lung cancer relative to no screening in people at high risk to develop lung cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • chest x-ray with or without CAD, lose dose CT scanDevice

    Also called CAD, computer aided detection

    PA view, low dose CT scan

Study groups in NCT01663155
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
all enrolled subjectsIntervention is chest x-ray and CT scan. The chest x-ray image is read first without computer aided detection (CAD) and then a second time with computer aided detection (CAD) the CT scan is read by one reader. Subjects are asked to contribute breath and blood samples.
Receives: Device: chest x-ray with or without CAD, lose dose CT scan

What is being measured

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

  1. The sensitivities of chest x-ray with CAD and chest CT

    The false positive rates of chest x-ray with CAD and chest CT will be compared. The analysis will be based on the study subjects from this prospective study who test positive with chest x-ray and/or CT and who are determined not to have lung cancer during the follow-up period.

    Measured: One year after scan

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Disease-specific mortality between screening with chest x-ray and CAD versus no screening

    Mortality rate in screening x-ray vs CAD

    Measured: One year after scan

  2. All-cause mortality rate between screening with chest x-ray and CAD versus no screening

    All cause mortality rate

    Measured: One year after scan

  3. Length of time between randomization and the incidence of symptomatic advanced lung cancer for screened subjects versus controls

    Time between randomization and symptom

    Measured: One year after scan

  4. Does lung cancer screening with chest x-rays and computer aided detection (CAD) reduce the incidence of symptomatic advanced lung cancer in a high risk population

    Cancer detection rate between chest x-ray and CAD

    Measured: One year after scan

  5. The quality of life between screening with chest x-ray and CAD versus no screening.

    Quality of life between the chest x-ray group and the CAD group

    Measured: One year after scan

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by The Cleveland Clinic 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 11 inclusion and 13 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 18 May 2017. 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?

The sensitivities of chest x-ray with CAD and chest CT (time frame: One year after scan). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01663155, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 18 May 2017.
