About this study

Official title: Predictors of Response to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Non-small Cell and Small Cell Lung Cancer

This pilot clinical trial studies how well bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage works in identifying biomarkers of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with non-small cell or small cell lung cancer. Bronchoscopy uses a thin, tube-like instrument inserted through the nose or mouth to view the inside of the trachea, air passages, and lungs. Bronchoalveolar lavage washes out the bronchi and alveoli by flushing with a fluid. Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage may make it easier to help determine biomarkers that are more present in some cancers than others that will help determine which individuals have a greater or lesser chance of benefiting from immunotherapy.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To discover predictive immune biomarkers of response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy in individuals with primary lung cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine biomarkers that may be predictive of treatment related adverse events, specifically pneumonitis.

II. To further elucidate lung immunologic microenvironment by performing single cell analysis in addition to mass cytometry (Cytof) on cells of bronchoalveolar lavage.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage over 45 minutes.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.

Being tested
Bronchoscopy with Bronchoalveolar Lavage, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Small Cell Lung Carcinoma

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bronchoscopy with Bronchoalveolar Lavage and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma and Small Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center 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 3 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2019. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Biomarker response to immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy as measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 criteria (time frame: Up to 24 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 10 Sep 2019.
