About this study

Official title: Investigating the Prognostic Importance of Bioelectrical Impedance Phase Angle in Adults Treated for Small Cell Lung Cancer

This clinical trial studies bioelectrical impedance phase angle in predicting treatment outcome in patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer receiving first-line chemotherapy. Diagnostic procedures, such as bioelectrical impedance analysis, may help predict a patient's response to treatment for small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the association between phase angle (PA) measurement and progression-free survival (PFS).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the association between PA measurement and treatment-related outcomes of treatment response, adverse treatment events, and overall survival (OS).

II. To determine the feasibility of obtaining PA measurements at a single time point in patients undergoing evaluation in thoracic oncology clinics.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo bioelectrical impedance phase angle measurement on day 1 of treatment.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 2-3 months for two years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival

    Analyzed using Kaplan-Meier plots and a log-rank test to test the difference in progression-free survival and high/low phase angle measures.

    Measured: From the start of treatment to the time of progression, death, or date of last contact, assessed up to 2 years

  2. Standardized phase angle measure

    A Cox proportional hazards model will be used. The standardized phase angle measure will be treated as a continuous measure and baseline characteristics will be included as covariates in the survival model.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Best overall response (complete, partial, progressive disease, stable disease) using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    Logistic regression will be used to analyze the association between standardized phase angle and best overall response.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Overall survival

    A Cox proportional hazards model will be used.

    Measured: From the start of treatment to date of death or date of last contact, assessed up to 2 years

  3. Incidence of adverse events, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0

    For those events that are the most common, the mean standardized phase angle for those experiencing the condition will be presented.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing bioelectric impedance analysis in people with Extensive Stage Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 2018. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow Accruals). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Progression-free survival (time frame: From the start of treatment to the time of progression, death, or date of last contact, assessed up to 2 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 5 Jul 2018.
