About this study

Official title: A Prospective Epidemiologic and Clinical Feature Study of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients With ALK Positive in China

This is a post-marketing, observational, non-interventional, multi-central study of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with data collected prospectively from medical records at inclusion. The primary objective is to obtain the epidemiologic data of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive in unselected Chinese patients with NSCLC.

Read the detailed description

Archived paraffin-embedded and fresh frozen NSCLC tumor tissue will be obtained via the Department of Pathology. ALK positive status will be detected by Ventana immunohistochemistry (IHC) (Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. and Roche Diagnostics International, Inc). When ALK positive patients are detected, crizotinib will be administrated by various solutions based on physician's desecration and patients' willingness.

The secondary objectives include: 1.To obtain the epidemiologic data of ALK positive in unselected Chinese patients with NSCLC.2.To describe demographic, socioeconomic [such as age, gender, race/ethnicity, geographic location (including rural/urban area), pathologic parameters, education, family income, National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) or Provincial Reimbursement List (PRDL)], and clinical characteristics of NSCLC patients with ALK positive.

The exploratory objective is to describe prognosis patterns associated with crizotinib treated patients when efficacy data are available non-interventionally.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small-cell Lung Cancer, run by Guangdong Association of Clinical Trials at 2 sites 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 1 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

the frequency of ALK rearrangement in unselected Chinese patients with non-small cell lung cancer (time frame: one and half 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 1 Mar 2017.
