About this study

Official title: The Detection Of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) In Patients With Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Undergoing Definitive Radiotherapy Or Chemoradiotherapy

CTC levels collected pre-surgery will be correlated with pathological samples.

Read the detailed description

Patients with NSCLC who undergo radiation as part of a definitive course of treatment will be enrolled. Blood collections will be obtained before, during, and after radiotherapy. We will collect demographic and treatment data and explore \& describe the pattern of CTC detection in all patients

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. To Describe the Pattern of CTCs Before and After Definitive Radiotherapy for Each Treatment Stratum

    The pattern of CTCs before and after definitive radiotherapy for each treatment stratum. CTC counts per mL before and after definitive radiotherapy.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine 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 0 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 20 Nov 2024. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Oct 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

To Describe the Pattern of CTCs Before and After Definitive Radiotherapy for Each Treatment Stratum (time frame: 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02135679, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Nov 2024.
