About this study

Official title: Using Functional Image and Circulating Molecular Markers to Predict Tumor Control and Thoracic Toxicity in Treatment of Lung Cancer

This study is designed to apply various scans such as functional imaging, Fluorodeoxyglucose_Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET), 62Cu-ETS (Copper) PET, Ventilation/Perfusion Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography (V/Q SPECT), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Tc-99m HMPAO SPECT/CT, and pulmonary function tests before, during and after treatment to see if it predicts how well the treatment works for your cancer and how well your lungs function during treatment. A Computerized Tomography (CT) will also be performed along with both of these procedures to help the researchers see clearly where your cancer or your healthy lung is located. The researchers also perform blood tests in this study to look for markers in your blood to see if it helps them determine your risk of developing side effects from radiation to the lungs. They will also measure your health-related quality of life before, during and after treatment. The researchers hope that this study will help them in the future to design radiation treatment plans that provide the best treatment for each individual patient.

Read the detailed description

Primary aims:

  1. To determine if tumor metabolic activity plus volume measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT and tissue/tumor perfusion measured by 62Cu-ETS-PET before and during treatment predicts CT tumor response 3 months after completion of treatment and 1 and 2 year local-regional progression-free survival.
  2. To determine if functional imaging based lung dose-volume histograms (DVH) more accurately predict changes in diffusion capacity of lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) compared to the DVH based on simulating CT. Degree of lung toxicity will also be documented by functional scans such as Tc-99m HMPAO imaging.
  3. To determine if baseline level, or changes in blood markers such as TGFß1 measured during the course of radiation, predict changes in DLCO.

What is being measured

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

  1. Investigate predictive models for long-term tumor control and late treatment lung toxicity by using FDG-PET-CT, V/Q SPECT-CT and blood test during the course of radiation therapy.

    Investigate predictive models for long-term tumor control and late treatment lung toxicity by using FDG-PET-CT, V/Q SPECT-CT and blood test during the course of radiation therapy. As secondary analysis, demographic and baseline clinical variables will be added to the model to determine if they add predictive value.

    Measured: Up to 5 years after radiation completion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Neoplasms, run by Indiana University 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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2019. 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: PI left institution). 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?

Investigate predictive models for long-term tumor control and late treatment lung toxicity by using FDG-PET-CT, V/Q SPECT-CT and blood test during the course of radiation therapy. (time frame: Up to 5 years after radiation completion). 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 25 Feb 2019.
