Trial summary

The tumor associated CA-125antigen for diagnosis and follow-up of ovarian cancer was well defined. Increased serum CA125 level may have many diagnoses other than ovarian cancer, including breast, colorectal and lung cancer. 80% lung cancer patients were diagnosed at advanced stage.

About this study

Official title: Determination of the Prognostic and Predictive Value of the Cancer Antigen-125 (CA-125) Marker in Lung Cancer Monitoring

The tumor associated CA-125antigen for diagnosis and follow-up of ovarian cancer was well defined. Increased serum CA125 level may have many diagnoses other than ovarian cancer, including breast, colorectal and lung cancer. 80% lung cancer patients were diagnosed at advanced stage. Malignant pleural effusion secondary to lung cancer represented the condition of cancer cell involved pleura.

The CA-125 level may reflect the extent of tumor involved in pleura (tumor burden), it could be correlated with the prognosis. This study was performed to examine the properties of CA-125 by measuring pleural and blood CA-125 levels in lung cancer with or without malignant pleural effusion; meanwhile to examine whether the rate of decline in CA 125 during primary therapy as a surrogate indicator for survival.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • serum and pleural effusion CA-125 levelOther

    serum and pleural effusion(if exist) CA-125 are collected:

    • at time of diagnosis
    • every 3 month during treatment
    • stop at the progression or after 12 months

What is being measured

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

  1. The diagnostic Value of the cancer antigen-125 in lung cancer

    1. Comparison of CA-125 level in serum between lung cancer patients with or without malignant pleural effusion
    2. The correlation between serum and pleural effusion CA-125 level

    Measured: 12months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The prognostic value of the cancer antigen-125 in lung cancer

    1. Association of serum/ pleural effusion CA-125 level with Disease-Free Survival and Overall Survival
    2. The correlation of CA-125 response at the 3rd , the 6th month between tumor lesion change
    3. Analysis of survival in relation to CA-125 response

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by E-DA Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2015. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jiun-Ting Wu, MD (886-07-6150011 ext. 5026, ed103621@edah.org.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The diagnostic Value of the cancer antigen-125 in lung cancer (time frame: 12months). 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 8 May 2015.
