About this study

Official title: Recurrent Predictive Power of Circulating Tumor Cells in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Who Receive Curative Resection

From literature review, circulating tumor cell was demonstrated its possible role in disease relapse. It was rare nit could be identified in all lung cancer patients. In addition, circulating tumor cell usual aggregate to form circulating tumor micro-emboli and caused distant metastases. Therefore, circulating tumor cell could play a role in detect disease relapse and appropriate treatment could be given more earlier and further prolong patients' survival. However, the detail clinical significance of circulating tumor still remains unknown. The aim of this study was evaluate the clinical significance, including present timing, numbers, and correlation to disease relapse, of circulating tumor cell in lung cancer patients. The investigators want to clarify the clinical significance between circulating tumor cell and clinical presentation of lung cancer in order to establish new prediction model and improve lung cancer patients' survival.

Study subject:

Inclusion criteria 1. Patients with clinical stage 1 to 3a non-small lung cancer 2. Patients with a resectable suspicious pulmonary lesion which is difficult for pre-operation tissue prove or refused for pre-operation biopsy 3. Received curative intended tumor resection Exclusion criteria

  1. Small cell lung cancer component which identified in pathology
  2. Patients who presented as stage IIIb or IV
  3. Not received curative intended surgery due to multi-comorbidities
  4. Patients who presented in tumor seeding or positive resection in pathology confirmation
  5. Patients who received neoadjuvant therapy

Data collection:

medical record review and blood sampling for circulating tumor cell purification

Timing of blood sampling:

a.Pre-operation, post-operation, post-operation day 1, post-operation day 3 b regular OPD surveillance (3 month-interval) for 3 years

Blood sampling: 20 ml blood that withdrawn from a peripheral vein

Circulating tumor cell purification: two-step procedure

  1. cell isolation: centrifugation, isolated karyocyte > 10 micrometer
  2. negative selection: wash out RBC, WBC depletion
  3. positive selection: purify circulating tumor cell (karyocyte which presented CD 45 negative, Epi-CAM positive, diameter greater 10 micrometer

Result analysis:

Combine the medical record to analyze the relationship between circulating tumor cells and disease relapse

What is being measured

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

  1. Variation trend of circulating tumor cell counts

    Relationship between variation trend of circulating tumor cells and disease relapse in patients with a suspicious pulmonary lesion after tumor resection

    Measured: 1. Circulating tumor cell counts in pre-op, post-op, post-operation day 1 and post-operation day 3 ; 2.need complete 5-years surveillance (disease status confirmation)

  2. Validation of variation trend of circulating tumor cell counts

    sequence patient recruitment for validation

    Measured: 1. Circulating tumor cell counts in pre-op, post-op, post-operation day 1 and post-operation day 3 ; 2.model establish model (case 1 to 50) versus validation group ( case 51-120) 3. need complete 5-years surveillance (disease status confirmation)

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. 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?

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?

Variation trend of circulating tumor cell counts (time frame: 1. Circulating tumor cell counts in pre-op, post-op, post-operation day 1 and post-operation day 3 ; 2.need complete 5-years surveillance (disease status confirmation)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03721133, which also lists 23 linked publications.

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.
