About this study

Official title: FDG-PET, Marker Immunologici ed Ipossici in Pazienti Affetti da Carcinoma Polmonare Non a Piccole Cellule in Stadio I-III Sottoposti a Chirurgia Radicale

This is a retrospective study that involves the revision of clinical, instrumental and pathologic data of an estimated cohort of maximum 130 patients with NSCLC treated with surgery with radical intent at our center.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective observation that involves the revision of clinical, instrumental and pathologic data of an estimated cohort of 130 patients with NSCLC treated with surgery with radical intent at our center.

We will review FDG-PET acquired within 30 days prior to surgery and analyze its principal imaging characteristics with respect to hypoxic and immune-related markers at immunohistochemistry (IHC). These markers will be studied on tumor tissue obtained at surgery, used for diagnostic purposes and stored in paraffin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of SUVmax (Maximal Standardized Uptake Value) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing surgery with hypoxia expression and tumor immune cell infiltration.

    Measured: Baseline SUVmax up to 1 month before surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas at 1 site in Italy.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2020. 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 Italy. 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?

Correlation of SUVmax (Maximal Standardized Uptake Value) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer undergoing surgery with hypoxia expression and tumor immune cell infiltration. (time frame: Baseline SUVmax up to 1 month before surgery.). 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 NCT02519062, which also lists 7 linked publications.

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 1 Oct 2020.
