Trial summary

Investigators hope to learn more about how to use computed tomography (CT) scans to measure blood flow in lung tumors and how it may change in response to treatment. This measurement technique is called computed tomography perfusion (CTP). CT scanners use X-rays to produce 3-dimensional images of the body. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: CTP (Computed Tomography Perfusion) Imaging of Lung Cancer

Investigators hope to learn more about how to use computed tomography (CT) scans to measure blood flow in lung tumors and how it may change in response to treatment. This measurement technique is called computed tomography perfusion (CTP). CT scanners use X-rays to produce 3-dimensional images of the body.

Currently, doctors determine the response to treatment by measuring the size of the tumor. Investigators are trying to find out if measuring the blood flow in the tumor is equal to or better than measuring the size of the tumor.

Read the detailed description

This is an experimental study of CT perfusion (CTP) imaging in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer. The objectives of this study are to demonstrate the feasibility of CT blood flow measurements in lung cancer, to develop a foundation for the use of CT blood flow measurements in lung cancer to assess the response to treatment, and to develop an optimized CTP imaging protocol for evaluating blood flow in solid body tumors. In this study, tumor blood flow will be evaluated at baseline and follow-up routine CT examinations of patients with non-small cell lung cancer, and the response of tumor blood flow will be recorded as a secondary endpoint. This research study will entail two study visits - one required and one optional - which will coincide with regularly scheduled standard of care CT scans.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT01823094
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Variability of measurementsvariability of CTP measurements will be determined by repeating the CTP examination, and comparing the resultant blood flow estimates
Treatment induced effectsThe magnitude of treatment induced effects will be assessed by comparing tumor blood flow estimates before and after treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Yield of conducting CTP studies

    Yield is determined as the percentage of assessable CTP studies, relative to all performed studies

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Variability of CTP measurements

    Variability will be determined from two consecutively acquired CTP examinations, and repeated analyses of the same studies

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Magnitude of treatment induced changes in tumor blood flow

    The magnitude of treatment induced changes in blood flow will be determined from comparisons of bloodflow before and after treatment

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by University of California, Davis 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 1 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 26 Jan 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?

Yield of conducting CTP studies (time frame: 2 years). 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 26 Jan 2016.
