About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multicenter Study of Longitudinal Monitoring in Treated Stage III-IV Lung Cancer Patients by Circulating Tumor DNA

Conduct a prospective study in multicenter to confirm the value of circulating tumor DNA in longitudinal monitoring of stage III-IV lung cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

The study consists of two phases, the first stage is the exploratory stage of blood collection point which is the appropriate effective time after chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy. The second phase, which is the expansion of the first phase, is to determine the precise leading time of ctDNA relative to tumor biomarkers or image evaluation in determining the efficacy of advanced NSCLC cancer therapy. Both stages were divided into three subgroups: the chemotherapy group, the radiotherapy group, and the targeted therapy group.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03664843
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
The chemotherapy cohortBlood samples for ctDNA and biomarkers analysis are collected at before chemotherapy and at a series of scheduled time-points after chemotherapy , with serial two-weekly blood samples collected from a subset of patients. Meanwhile, imaging technology such as CT scan detection would be performed.
The radiotherapy cohortBlood samples for ctDNA and biomarkers analysis are collected at before radiotherapy and at a series of scheduled time-points after radiotherapy, with serial two-weekly blood samples collected from a subset of patients. Meanwhile, imaging technology such as CT scan detection would be performed.
The targeted therapy cohortBlood samples for ctDNA and biomarkers analysis are collected at before targeted therapy and at a series of scheduled time-points after targeted therapy, with serial two-weekly blood samples collected from a subset of patients. Meanwhile, imaging technology such as CT scan detection would be performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. ctDNA effective time

    To explore the appropriate chemo/ radio/ target effective time (CET/RET/TET) through measurement and monitoring of ctDNA after anti-cancer therapies in advanced NSCLC.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. ctDNA leading time

    To investigate the precise leading time for ctDNA compared to conventional biomarker or image evaluation in detecting disease recurrence after radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy respectively.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assess the accuracy of ctDNA

    To assess the accuracy of ctDNA when imaging undetectable or difficult to assess

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Compared to conventional image

    Compared to conventional image evaluation, to determine the consistency of ctDNA in treatment response of measurable lesion after radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy respectively

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Compared to traditional tumor markers

    To explore the consistency for ctDNA in determining the efficacy of advanced NSCLC compared to tumor markers after radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy respectively

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma and Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by First Hospital of Shijiazhuang City at 8 sites in China.

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 5 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 13 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in China. 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?

Contact Yan Zhang, M.D. (17603119607 ext. +86, 13315978836@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ctDNA effective time (time frame: 6 months). 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 13 Nov 2018.
