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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Community sample

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of lung cancer in one of 2 sub-types:
  • newly diagnosed early-stage tumor
  • advanced-stage lung tumor undergoing serial contrast-CT imaging according to standard of care
  • Diagnosis of a metastatic carcinomatous mass in the lung
  • Positive study for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) with intermittent hypoxia (IH) and clinical recommendation for CPAP
  • Ability and willingness to undergo baseline and repeat perfusion-CT imaging following 3- to 4 weeks of CPAP therapy for SDB (regardless of CPAP compliance).
  • Note: Participants will undergo sleep study and receive CPAP therapy as a part of routine care.

Who cannot join

  • Lung cancer with a negative sleep study (i.e., no SDB)
  • History of radio-contrast allergy
  • At excessive risk for contrast nephropathy (following standard radiology renal-risk criteria)
  • Pregnancy

About this study

Sleep-disordered breathing at night is a common medical problem. It leads to daytime fatigue, impairment in concentration and daily activities, and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and life-threatening events. A particularly common form is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and it is usually treatable with a high rate of patient satisfaction and improved quality of life using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device.

Treatment of this condition improves nighttime low-oxygen levels by ensuring patency of the upper airways. Research shows that in cancer, sleep disordered breathing is frequent. Low oxygen levels overnight may cause tumors to grow: tumors deprived of oxygen grow more blood vessels to try to get more oxygen, and growing more blood vessels makes the tumor grow. This study aims to examine how treating sleep-disordered breathing may lessen blood-flow to lung tumors, and thus serve to ultimately block tumor growth.

Participants of this study will undergo sleep study and receive CPAP therapy as a part of routine care.

What is being measured

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

  1. tumor perfusion

    maximum attenuation value (MAV) detected by perfusion-CT imaging

    Measured: 3-4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. reduction in circulating tumor cells (CTC)

    Measured: 3-4 weeks

  2. Reduction in tumor promoting micro RNA expression

    Measured: 3-4 weeks

  3. Reduction in nocturnal hypoxia

    Measured: 3-4 weeks

  4. Improvement in sleep quality

    Measured: 3-4 weeks

  5. progression-free survival (PFS)

    Measured: 2 years

  6. overall survival (OS)

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Mark M. Fuster, MD 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 7 inclusion and 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2021. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

tumor perfusion (time frame: 3-4 weeks). 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 17 Dec 2021.
