About this study

Demonstrate feasibility of detection of EML4-ALK fusion transcripts and T790M EGFR mutation from exosomes in the circulation of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLS) patients.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this study is two-fold: 1) Demonstrate feasibility of detection of EML4-ALK fusion transcripts in the circulation of NSCLC patients positive for ALK on tissue analysis, using an institutionally accepted assay; 2) Demonstrate feasibility of detection of T790M EGFR mutation in the circulation of NSCLC patients positive for T790M on tissue analysis, using an institutionally accepted assay.

What is being measured

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

  1. ALK mutation by tissue assay.

    Patients found to be positive for ALK mutation by tissue assay. ALK fusions in samples will be considered binary - positive or negative/ not assessable. 2x2 table will be constructed to determine concordance with tissue testing.

    Measured: Two years

  2. T790M EGFR mutation by tissue assay

    Patients found to be positive for T790M EGFR mutation by tissue assay. ALK fusions in samples will be considered binary - positive or negative/ not assessable. 2x2 table will be constructed to determine concordance with tissue testing.

    Measured: Two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Exosome Diagnostics, Inc. at 2 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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

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?

ALK mutation by tissue assay. (time frame: Two years). The study lists 2 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 30 Sep 2021.
