About this study

Official title: Clinical Utility of Combined CTC and ctDNA Assay in the Diagnosis of Primary Lung Cancer

The purpose of this study is to assess clinical utility of combined circulating tumor cell (CTC) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the diagnosis of primary lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

The peripheral blood and tumor tissue samples are collected from the participants.CTC and ctDNA are analyzed from the blood samples.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic sensitivity of combined CTC and ctDNA

    To compared the sensitivity of combined CTC and ctDNA with those of CTC and ctDNA alone in diagnosis of primary lung cancer

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Diagnostic accuracy of combined CTC and ctDNA

    To compared the accuracy of combined CTC and ctDNA with those of CTC and ctDNA alone in diagnosis of primary lung cancer

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Diagnostic specificity of CTC and ctDNA

    To compared the specificity of combined CTC and ctDNA with those of CTC and ctDNA alone in diagnosis of primary lung cancer

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer (Diagnosis) and Circulating Tumor Cell, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 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 28 Aug 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 South Korea. 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?

Diagnostic sensitivity of combined CTC and ctDNA (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03479099, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 Aug 2019.
