About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Isolate and Test Circulating Tumor Cells Using the ClearCell® FX EP+ System

The purpose of this study is to isolate and measure circulating tumor cells in the blood stream to advance detection of cancer and treatment monitoring. In this study, the investigators will utilize the novel technology for circulating tumor cell detection in order to evaluate their presence in patients with lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

The plan is to collect both blood and tumor samples from the patient's lung cancer in order to validate this technology in detecting circulating tumor cells. The investigators will also obtain a postoperative blood sample to see if there is a decrease in the overall circulating tumor cell measurement once the tumor has been surgically removed.

Medical subject headings
Lung Neoplasms, Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Adenocarcinoma, Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

What is being measured

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

  1. Number and types of mutations in the primary tumor.

    Measured: Within 1 year

  2. Number and type of mutations detectable in the matched circulating tumor cell samples.

    Measured: Within 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Concordance of mutations detected by either method.

    Measured: Within 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Lung Neoplasms, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 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 21 Mar 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 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?

Number and types of mutations in the primary tumor. (time frame: Within 1 year). 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 21 Mar 2018.
