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 to 99 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The medical charts are the subjects. Risk will be minimized by protecting patient data through the use of de-identification of patient identifiers and password protected data collection. The information will be given only to faculty members and statisticians involved in the research project. The data will be disclosed only for analytical purposes. Confidentiality will be maintained by adhering to HIPAA guidelines. The location of the data will be maintained at the worksite of the PI and the research coordinator in the Moncrief Radiation Oncology Department on the North Campus at UTSW. Risks will be minimized by protecting patient data and using it only for research purposes for retrospective analysis.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients that have been diagnosed with lung cancer, and are treated at Department of Radiation Oncology, UTSW or Parkland Memorial Hospital.

Who cannot join

  • There will be no absolute exclusion criteria as long as the inclusion criteria have been met.

About this study

Official title: Multi Parametric Image Analysis and Correlation With Outcomes in Lung Cancer Screening and Early Stage Lung Cancer

Determine whether CT-based multiparametric analytical models may improve prediction of biopsy and treatment outcome in patients undergoing screening CT scan and/or treatment for early stage lung cancer

Read the detailed description

The hypothesis is that multiparametric models that incorporate complex image information from screening CT scans will improve prediction of the outcome of subsequent lung biopsy, an invasive diagnostic procedure. In this project, we will construct an image feature-based multiparametric prognostic model for biopsy outcome from screening lung CT scans performed at our institution, and then validate it using theNLST imaging and clinical outcomes dataset.

This study involves no treatment or invasive procedures. Investigator will review all charts of patients who were treated for early stage lung cancer with definitive radiation therapy at UTSW or Parkland Memorial hospital, diagnosed with a malignancy from January 1, 2004 to October 31, 2014, to compile demographic, diagnostic, therapeutic, outcome, and toxicity data. Investigator expect that this will include approximately 200 patient charts. This data will be analyzed statistically and used for future directed research. Investigator will also analyze an anonymized dataset of patients from the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial (NLST) provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI)

What participants receive

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

  • Retrospective StudyOther

    The medical charts are the subjects. The institutional charts will be identified by the use of definitive radiation therapy correlating with an early stage lung cancer diagnosis during the above time frame. The data from these charts will be entered into a password protected excel spreadsheet. The charts will be identified by name, medical record number, date of birth, and social security number. These are all patients treated by all hospitals and clinics affiliated with UTSW and Parkland. At the time of study, some of the patients will have expired but some will be alive and in the regional North Texas area. Thus, given the minimal risk nature of this retrospective chart review, we could not reasonably conduct this research with a full waiver of consent. The NLST external dataset is proved by the NCI, with no identifying characteristics.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine whether CT-based multiparametric analytical models may improve prediction of biopsy and treatment outcome in patients undergoing screening CT scan and/or treatment for early stage lung cancer

    We will review all charts of patients who were treated for early stage lung cancer with definitive radiation therapy at UTSW or Parkland Memorial hospital, diagnosed with a malignancy from January 1, 2004 to October 31, 2014, to compile demographic, diagnostic, therapeutic, outcome, and toxicity data. The data will be subject to standard descriptive, parametric, and nonparametric hypothesis testing with biostatistical analyses. We will also analyze an anonymized dataset of patients from the National Lung Cancer Screening Trial (NLST) provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) including screening images and diagnostic outcomes to validate models generated using institutional data.

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center 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 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Apr 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sarah Neufeld, MS (214-648-1836, Sarah.hardee@UTSouthwestern.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine whether CT-based multiparametric analytical models may improve prediction of biopsy and treatment outcome in patients undergoing screening CT scan and/or treatment for early stage lung cancer (time frame: 10 years). 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 Apr 2026.
