About this study

Official title: A Single-center Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of a Novel NA-NOSE for Monitoring Response to and Detecting Recurrence After Surgery or Radiation in Early Stage Lung Cancer

This clinical trial studies nanoscale artificial nose (NA-NOSE) in monitoring response and detecting recurrence after surgery or radiation therapy in patients with stage I or stage II non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Using the NA-NOSE breath test may be an effective way to monitor response and detect recurrence of NSCLC after surgery or radiation therapy.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine if a suitable fraction of patients become NA-NOSE negative within three years post treatment. We will test the hypothesis that this fraction is at most 30% versus the alternative that it is at least 50%.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine if patients who become NA-NOSE negative post treatment then become NA-NOSE positive prior to clinical recurrence.

II. Estimate the time post treatment needed to become NA-NOSE negative. III. Estimate the lead time gained between a negative to positive NA-NOSE transition and clinical recurrence.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo breath sample collection for the NA-NOSE breath test at baseline (2 pre-treatment samples), and post treatment samples at regularly scheduled follow up visits, for 2 years in the absence of disease progression.

Being tested
breath test, laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful evaluation of gas samples taken from lung cancer patients

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Percent of patients that become nanoscale artificial nose negative within 3 years post-surgery

    We will test the null hypothesis that at most 30% of patients will become nanoscale artificial nose negative within 3 years post- surgery. The alternative will be that this fraction will be at least 50%. If at least 15/35 patients become nanoscale artificial nose negative within 3 years post treatment follow up we will reject the null. The test has 84.5% power and 7.31% type I error.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of patients who become nanoscale artificial nose negative within 3 years and recur within that time frame that will become nanoscale artificial nose positive before recurrence

    We will test the hypothesis that at most 25% of patients who become nanoscale artificial nose negative within 3 years and recur within that time frame will become nanoscale artificial nose positive before recurrence. The alternative is that at least 50% of such patients will become nanoscale artificial nose positive before recurrence.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Time to become nanoscale artificial nose negative post treatment

    This will be done using the method of Kaplan and Meier.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  3. Lead time between the transition from nanoscale artificial nose negativity to positivity and clinical recurrence

    We will restrict this estimate to data from patients who experience a transition and will use the method of Kaplan and Meier. We will tabulate frequencies of patients who recur with or without such a transition as well as those for patients who never become nanoscale artificial nose negative.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing breath test and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Stage IA Non-small Cell Lung Cancer and Stage IB Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Fox Chase Cancer Center 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 8 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 13 Mar 2023. 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?

Successful evaluation of gas samples taken from lung cancer patients (time frame: Up to 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Mar 2023.
