Trial summary

The primary purpose of this non-interventional, multinational study is to assess the feasibility of assessing PD-L1 protein expression on cytological samples as a surrogate for histological samples obtained from participants with any stage of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

About this study

Official title: A Non-Interventional Multinational Study to Assess PD-L1 Expression in Cytological Versus Histological Non-Small Cell or Small Cell Lung Cancer Specimens

The primary purpose of this non-interventional, multinational study is to assess the feasibility of assessing PD-L1 protein expression on cytological samples as a surrogate for histological samples obtained from participants with any stage of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

Being tested
PD-L1 Immunocytochemistry (ICC), PD-L1 Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, Carcinoma, Small Cell

What participants receive

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

  • PD-L1 Immunocytochemistry (ICC)Diagnostic test

    PD-L1 expression in the cytological specimens will be assessed using different antibodies.

  • PD-L1 Immunohistochemistry (IHC)Diagnostic test

    PD-L1 expression in the histological specimens will be assessed using different antibodies.

Study groups in NCT03092739
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cytological and Histological SamplesCytological and histological specimens that meet the eligibility criteria will be analyzed only from those participants who have consented to biomarker research, according to local regulations and ethical guidelines. Cytological samples may originate from fine needle aspirations. Pleural effusions or bronchial cytology samples (brushings and washings) may be allowed. Histological samples may originate from core needle biopsies, bronchial biopsies (thoracoscopy or mediastinoscopy) or surgical tissue resections.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: PD-L1 Immunocytochemistry (ICC); Diagnostic Test: PD-L1 Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Total Tumor Cells (TC) That Display Discernible PD-L1 Staining of any Intensity in Histological and Cytological Samples As Assessed Using PD-L1 IHC/ICC Assay

    Measured: approximately 12 months

  2. Percentage of Total TC Within ten High-Power Fields (HPF) That Display Discernible PD-L1 Staining of any Intensity in Histological and Cytological Samples As Assessed Using PD-L1 IHC/ICC Assay

    Measured: approximately 12 months

  3. Percentage of Total Tumor Area That Contain Tumor-Infiltrating Immune Cells of any Discernible PD-L1 Staining of any Intensity in Histological Samples As Assessed Using PD-L1 IHC Assay

    Measured: approximately 12 months

  4. Percentage of Total Immune Cells That Display Discernible PD-L1 Staining of any Intensity in Cytological Samples As Assessed Using PD-L1 ICC Assay

    Measured: approximately 12 months

  5. Percentage of Total Immune Cells Within ten HPF That Display Discernible PD-L1 Staining of any Intensity in Histological and Cytological Samples As Assessed Using PD-L1 IHC/ICC Assay

    Measured: approximately 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung and Carcinoma, Small Cell, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 8 sites in 6 countries.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Spain, Czechia, Germany, Poland, Switzerland and 1 more country. 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?

Percentage of Total Tumor Cells (TC) That Display Discernible PD-L1 Staining of any Intensity in Histological and Cytological Samples As Assessed Using PD-L1 IHC/ICC Assay (time frame: approximately 12 months). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 Jul 2019.
