About this study

Official title: A Prospective Pilot Study of Lung Cancer Screening in Patients at High Risk for Lung Cancer Who Do Not Meet Current Screening Guidelines

This study is a prospective trial of 200 individuals at high risk for lung cancer who are not eligible for lung cancer screening under current screening guidelines.

Read the detailed description

This study is a prospective trial of 200 individuals at high risk for lung cancer who are not eligible for lung cancer screening under current screening guidelines. Potential subject's 6 yr lung cancer risk must exceed 1.5% by the Tammamagi PLCO2012m calculator. Patients will undergo a non contrast CT chest for lung cancer screening. This cutoff should encompass in excess of 80% of all lung cancer cases (10). However, in patients 78-82 years old we will set the 6 yr lung cancer risk threshold at 4.0% as these patients will typically have other competing risks of death and this may potentially limit screening benefit in these older individuals.

What participants receive

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

  • ScreeningDiagnostic test

    Subjects will undergo a low dose non contrast CT chest for lung cancer screening. The test will be performed by the UCH Radiology Department and read by board-certified chest radiologists using Lung-RADS criteria.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lung Cancer Screening

    Prospectively identify patients for lung cancer screening using risk calculators

    Measured: Duration of the study, up to 3 years

  2. Medical Outcomes

    Evaluate health outcomes of CT screening by assessing the number and stage of lung cancers detected by screening using Lung-RADS criteria

    Measured: Duration of the study, up to 3 years

  3. Medical Outcomes

    Evaluate health outcomes of CT screening by assessing the number and stage the spectrum of other radiographic abnormalities detected using Lung-RADS criteria

    Measured: Duration of the study, up to 3 years

  4. Economic Outcomes

    Evaluate the costs associated with managing lung cancers detected by screening

    Measured: Duration of the study, up to 3 years

  5. Economic Outcomes

    Evaluate the costs associated with managing the spectrum of other radiographic abnormalities

    Measured: Duration of the study, up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Screening in people with Lung Cancer, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 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 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 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?

Lung Cancer Screening (time frame: Duration of the study, up to 3 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03683940, 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 12 Dec 2023.
