Trial summary

Dual-energy CT (DECT) provides information on the blood volume in tumors and lymph nodes. As tumors respond to treatment, preliminary data suggests that the blood volumes changes as well. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with stage III lung cancer treated with chemoradiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery

Who may be able to join

  • Patients aged greater than 18 years with a diagnosis of stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
  • Planned treatment with either definitive chemoradiotherapy or preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection.
  • PET-CT study within 4 weeks of next available DECT study.
  • Patients must have measurable primary and nodal disease, defined by at least one lesion (primary and lymph node) greater than 1 cm.
  • Kidney function sufficient to tolerate iodine-based CT contrast.
  • No allergy to iodine-based contrast.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Participants with a prior history of thoracic radiotherapy.
  • Participants may not be receiving any other study agents.
  • Inability to tolerate CT contrast
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because radiotherapy has the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk of adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with radiotherapy, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with radiotherapy. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study.

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Dual-Energy Computed Tomography in Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Dual-energy CT (DECT) provides information on the blood volume in tumors and lymph nodes. As tumors respond to treatment, preliminary data suggests that the blood volumes changes as well. Investigators are therefore using DECT to test whether it can be used on radiation treatment to rapidly assess response to treatment.

Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in the tumor's maximum iodine related attenuation (IRA) from baseline to on-treatment DECT.

    This change in the maximum IRA will be compared with the change in the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) between baseline PET-CT and follow-up PET-CT at 3 months after treatment. For patients undergoing surgery, this change in the maximum IRA will be compared between patients who have a complete pathologic response, and those patients who do not.

    Measured: 0, 1, 3, 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage III, run by Rush University Medical 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 7 inclusion and 4 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 23 Sep 2022. 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?

Change in the tumor's maximum iodine related attenuation (IRA) from baseline to on-treatment DECT. (time frame: 0, 1, 3, 5). 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 23 Sep 2022.
