Trial summary

A central challenge in the fight against lung cancers is how to detect disease in a noninvasive manner before it is detectable by imaging methods. Although inroads have been made with more sensitive imaging techniques for earlier detection of breast and lung cancers, these techniques are limited by the size of lesion… Read more about this study

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
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients will be assigned an ID that will be kept confidential according to hospital regulations. IDs will be randomized so that identity will not be revealed except to the approved hospital personnel. Methylation data will be returned to the hospital for follow up of progression of disease and for assessing early prediction of progression of lung cancer and will be entered into the data base. Other clinical follow up data will be entered into the electronic data base. All data will be captured in case report form.

Who may be able to join

  • Histological confirmed lung cancer

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant women
  • Minors (subjects less than 18 years of age)
  • Prisoners
  • Patients with known infectious disease, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), tuberculosis (TB), or hepatitis B, C
  • Patients having other than one cancer
  • Subjects unable to consent for themselves

About this study

Official title: Clinical Trials on Detection of Lung Cancer With Non-invasive Method Based on DNA Methylation of Circulated Tumor DNA, PBMC and T Cells

A central challenge in the fight against lung cancers is how to detect disease in a noninvasive manner before it is detectable by imaging methods. Although inroads have been made with more sensitive imaging techniques for earlier detection of breast and lung cancers, these techniques are limited by the size of lesion that could be detected. Alternatively, several blood proteomic biomarkers have been proposed but none offer as of yet sufficient predictive power. Consequently, effective non-invasive tools as prognostic indicators and biomarkers of lung cancer is urgently needed.

The purpose of this study is to develop and test non-invasive biomarkers based on methylation changes in PBMC and circulated tumor DNA in lung cancer patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. DNA methylation of circulated tumor and PBMC DNA and its Correlation to Development and prediction of lung cancer

    The outcome is the methylation score, which combines the weighted methylation values of four CpGs. A threshold methylation score that differentiates between control and cancer individuals will be calculated from the training set of 100 patients.

    The model will be provided to the researchers:

    Methylation score=CG1*b1+CG2*b2+ CG3*b3+ CG4*b4 + e

    CG1 is the methylation value of the first CG b1 is the regression coefficient for the first CG and "e" equals the intercept. Investigators will develop the regression coefficient and intercept as well as the DNA methylation values for each patient for each CG. Investigators will first compute the polygenic methylation score for each patient. Then based on the computer threshold based on the training cohort will call the samples as lung cancer or not.

    Measured: 6 months to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Lung Cancer, Nonsmall Cell, run by HKGepitherapeutics at 1 site in Kazakhstan.

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 1 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 22 Dec 2023. 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 Kazakhstan. 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: Encountered technical issues with blood plasma samples received from the hospital.). 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?

DNA methylation of circulated tumor and PBMC DNA and its Correlation to Development and prediction of lung cancer (time frame: 6 months to 1 year). 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 22 Dec 2023.
