About this study

Official title: A Prospective Observational Study on the Dynamic Changes of CTC Enumeration in Advanced NSCLC With 1st Line Chemotherapy

Primary endpoint To observe the dynamic changes of CTC during the process of platinum based chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC.

To study the relationship between CTC count and clinical outcome of chemotherapy (ORR and PFS).

Secondary endpoint To study the relationship between CTC and overall survival. To study the molecular feature of CTC, such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), KRAS, CD117, etc.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective observational non-intervention study evaluating the dynamic CTC count during the chemotherapy. Patients provide written informed consent and pass the screening. Peripheral blood will be drawn before and after the first line chemotherapy. Analyze the relationship between CTC count and clinical outcome. The time points of blood drawing are set as following: once prior to 1st cycle of chemotherapy, once 1 week prior to 2nd cycle of chemotherapy, posterior to 4th cycle (or less than 4th cycle) of chemotherapy and once when progressive disease (PD). The specific blood tube CellSave Tube will be used, 7.5ml blood sample every time. One follow-up (including by phone) be made every 3 month after PD until death. The clinical outcome of first line chemotherapy will be ultimately obtained.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung and Cell, Circulating Tumor, run by Guangdong Association of Clinical Trials at 1 site in China.

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 10 inclusion and 8 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 5 Dec 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 China. 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?

dynamic CTC changes during chemotherapy (time frame: baseline, 3 weeks and up to progression disease of chemotherapy). 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 NCT01740804, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Dec 2016.
