About this study

The aim of this study is to quantify the spillage of tumor cells after biopsy in early lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

Introduction:

Lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common malignancy with a high recurrence rate even when diagnosed at early stages. Biopsy is currently the procedure of choice for the investigation of pulmonary lesions, yet it is unclear whether the biopsy itself releases tumor cells into the circulation and attributes to the late distal recurrence.

Studies of various malignancies show the ability to identify circulating tumor cells (CTCs) even in early stage cancer. The number of CTCs correlates with disease outcome. Dynamics of CTCs after CT or bronchoscopy guided biopsy has not been evaluated so far. In the metastatic setting, the number of CTCs correlates to tumor response to chemotherapy in both small and non-small lung cancer (SCLC and NSCLC, respectively).

The aim of this study is to quantify the spillage of tumor cells after biopsy in early lung cancer.

Patients with suspected pulmonary lesions undergoing CT or bronchoscopy guided biopsy will be enrolled into the study. The CellCollectorTM will be used for CTCs detection before and after the procedure. These patients will be their own controls.

In this study the investigators will use the CellCollectorTM (Gilupi, Germany) needle that isolates CTCs of epithelial origin using a needle coated with antibodies directed against the epithelial cell adhesion molecules (EpCAM). This technology enables high quality immunohistochemical and molecular testing of the acquired cells as needed for treatment planning, and even allows cell culture growth from the live CTCs. This device is certified for use throughout Europe, with no adverse events noted with its usage .

What is being measured

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

  1. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) before and after the procedure.

    In this study we will use for CTC counting the CellCollectorTM (Gilupi, Germany) needle that isolates CTCs of epithelial origin using a needle coated with antibodies directed against the epithelial cell adhesion molecules (EpCAM).

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CellCollectorTM (Gilupi, Germany) needle in people with Lung Cancer, run by Rabin Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 1 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 23 Sep 2016. 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 Israel. 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 Nir Peled, MD PhD FCCP (nirp@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) before and after the procedure. (time frame: 1 day). 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 2016.
