Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 79 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Study will enroll sufficient subjects to yield a minimum of 60 subjects in Study Group 1, 30 subjects in Study Group 2 and 60 subjects in Study Group 3 - a total of 150 evaluable study subjects who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eligible subjects will be men and women age ≥ 18 years for Group 1 and 2 and 55 - 79 years inclusive for Group 3. Group 3 study subjects must also meet NLST guidelines of being at high risk for lung cancer: greater than or equal to a 30 pack year smoking history (equivalent of 1 pack per day for 30 or more years) and a current smoker or quit less than 15 years ago.

Who may be able to join

  • All Groups:
  • Able to read, understand and sign informed consent to participate in study.
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent.
  • Willing and able to meet all study requirements and undergo venipuncture to provide a fasting blood sample.
  • Group 1:
  • Men or women age 18 years or older;
Show all 22Show fewer
  • Lung nodule size ≥ 6 mm but ≤ 35 mm/ lung, nodule or mass.
  • Diagnosis of lung cancer based upon histopathology performed on lung nodule, lesion or mass tissue obtained from biopsy or surgical excision performed after study-related fasting blood sample obtained.
  • Group 2:
  • Men or women age 18 years or older;
  • Lung nodule size ≥ 6 mm but ≤ 35 mm/ lung nodule, lesion or mass;
  • Definitive diagnosis of benign (non-cancerous) lung nodule based upon one of the following:
  • Histopathology performed on lung nodule tissue obtained from biopsy or surgical excision performed after study-related fasting blood sample obtained;
  • No nodule growth for > 2 years by repeat CT imaging, the most recent being performed within the 60 days prior to signing informed consent.
  • Group 3:
  • Men or women age 55-79 years inclusive;
  • Current smoker or quit < 15 years ago with a > 30 pack-year smoking history (equivalent of 1 pack per day for 30 or more years)*.
  • Have undergone low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) or standard computed tomography (CT) or X-ray testing to screen for lung cancer with no nodules suspicious for lung cancer within 1 year prior to signing informed consent.
  • ' ' One pack year is calculated as follows: 20 cigarettes = 1 pack. One "pack year" is the equivalent of smoking:
  • 20 cigarettes (one pack) per day for one year; or
  • 40 cigarettes (two packs) per day for 6 months; or
  • 60 cigarettes (three packs) per day for 3 months

Who cannot join

  • Inability to fast for 8 hours prior to the blood sample collection.
  • Known to be positive for HIV and/or, HBV and/or HCV.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Breastfeeding.
  • Currently undergoing dialysis.
  • Congenital metabolic disease.
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Currently receiving investigational treatments of any type.
  • History of receiving any drug therapy or surgery for the treatment of lung cancer.
  • Diagnosis of cancer within past 5 years and/or currently undergoing treatment for any cancer.
  • Any clinical condition, diagnosis, or social circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would be mean participation in the study would be contraindicated.

About this study

Official title: The AminoIndex™ Study - A Case-Control Study to Verify Diagnostic Performance of AminoIndex™ Technology

This is a prospective, multi-center study to evaluate the diagnostic performance characteristics of the AminoIndex™ technology among patients at high risk for developing lung cancer as compared with standard lung cancer screening and diagnostic procedures including low-dose CT, high-dose CT, biopsy and histopathology.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multi-center study to evaluate the diagnostic performance characteristics of the AminoIndex™ technology among patients at high risk for developing lung cancer as compared with standard lung cancer screening and diagnostic procedures including low-dose CT, high-dose CT, biopsy and histopathology.

The study will enroll patients into one of three arms:

  1. patients with lung nodule(s) ≥ 6 mm but ≤ 35 mm that have been biopsied and diagnosed with primary lung cancer who have not yet initiated treatment of any kind for their lung cancer;
  2. patients with lung nodule(s) ≥ 6 mm but ≤ 35 mm that have been biopsied and determined to not be cancerous OR that have demonstrated no nodule growth for > 2 years by repeat CT imaging; and
  3. patients at high-risk for lung cancer (per NLST guidelines) with no evidence or history of lung cancer (negative LDCT/CT/X-ray).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group 1Patients with lung nodule(s) ≥ 6 mm but ≤ 35 mm that have been biopsied and diagnosed with primary lung cancer who have not yet initiated treatment of any kind for their lung cancer will contribute a fasting blood sample.
Group 2Patients whose most recent screening imaging is within 60 days who have lung nodule(s) ≥ 6 mm but ≤ 35 mm that have been biopsied and determined to not be cancerous OR that have demonstrated no nodule growth for >2 years by repeat CT imaging will contribute a fasting blood sample.
Group 3Patients who have undergone low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) or standard computed tomography (CT) or X-ray testing to screen for lung cancer with no nodules suspicious for lung cancer within 1 year prior to signing informed consent will contribute a fasting blood sample.

What is being measured

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

  1. The diagnostic performance of AminoIndex™ to discriminate lung cancer patients from high-risk subjects.

    To evaluate the diagnostic performance characteristics of the AminoIndex™ technology among patients at high risk for developing lung cancer as compared with standard lung cancer screening and diagnostic procedures including low-dose CT, high-dose CT, biopsy and histopathology.

    Measured: 6 months

  1. The capability of AminoIndex™ to distinguish malignant lung cancer from benign lung nodules.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Gathering residual patient samples that will be used for discovery research.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Innovis LLC at 3 sites 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 22 inclusion and 10 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 28 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

The diagnostic performance of AminoIndex™ to discriminate lung cancer patients from high-risk subjects. (time frame: 6 months). 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 28 Feb 2018.
