Trial summary

Early detection of lung cancer and early removal of the cancer nodules facilitates the diagnosis and treatment. However, not all nodules are malignant. Currently the standard method to diagnose lung cancer is to remove any suspicious nodules from the lung in a surgical procedure. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of BioView Target -FISH Lung Cancer Detection Test

Early detection of lung cancer and early removal of the cancer nodules facilitates the diagnosis and treatment. However, not all nodules are malignant. Currently the standard method to diagnose lung cancer is to remove any suspicious nodules from the lung in a surgical procedure.

This study is being conducted to evaluate the performance of a laboratory test to detect changes in lung cells that might be an early indicator of lung cancer. The test uses mucus (sputum) which is collected in a non-invasive method. This study will compare the results of the lung biopsy with the laboratory test to determine if the test can detect cancer or the lack of cancer.

The laboratory test will not be shared with the treating physician or the patient as the current standard for lung cancer diagnosis is a biopsy. Approximately 330 patients will be enrolled in the study. There is one visit involved and includes the collection of a sputum specimen by coughing into a cup. The medical records of patients who are negative for cancer by biopsy will be reviewed for 2 years to detect any changes in diagnosis.

Study groups in NCT01700452
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
patients suspected of having lung cancerSubjects presenting with 0.8 - 3 cm solitary pulmonary nodules with high probability for malignance. The subject must be scheduled for a lung biopsy procedure to determine clinical diagnosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of concordance of the Target-Fish LCD Test and diagnosis by biopsy

    Subjects suspected of having of having lung cancer and who are to undergo biopsy will undergo sputum sampling. The sputum will be assayed using the BioView test kit. Biopsy results will be compared with the assay results, each being a dichotomous response (positive or negative for cancer by biopsy, positive or negative assay result using client-supplied cut-off). Since the assay may detect cancer before a biopsy is positive or because the sputum sampling may be more representative of the condition of the lung than just the biopsied nodule, it will be necessary to follow thte negative biopsy subjects for up to two years to either rule in or rule out lung cancer.

    Measured: 2 weeks following sputum collection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Bioview, Inc. at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 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 19 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 6 sites in United States, Israel. 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?

Determination of concordance of the Target-Fish LCD Test and diagnosis by biopsy (time frame: 2 weeks following sputum collection). 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 19 Jul 2016.
