About this study

Official title: Prospective Feasibility Study of Cell Free Circulating Tumor DNA for the Diagnosis and Treatment Monitoring in Early-stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

The aim of the study is to evaluate whether peripheral circulating cell-free tumor DNA (cfDNA) can aid screening of recurrence after complete resection of early stage non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

During evolution of primary tumor, tumor cells can be released into the bloodstream. It has also been shown that circulating cell-free tumor DNA (cfDNA) is released from apoptotic or necrotic tumor cells. In a study of cfDNA level after surgery in colon cancer patients, they suggested that cfDNA could detect recurrence of cancer several months earlier than the conventional follow up studies. Following several reports have suggested that cfDNA can invade host cells and alter host cell biology to cause cancer metastasis.

In this regard, we will collect from non-small cell lung cancer patients cohort who underwent curative resection, and will evaluate whether peripheral cfDNA can aid early detection of cancer recurrence. We will also study the genomic signature of cfDNA to assess the relationship between cfDNA and clinical outcome of non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 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 11 May 2021. 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 South Korea. 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 Jhingook Kim, MD (+82-2-3410-3483, jkimsmc@skku.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Recurrence (time frame: 24 months). 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 11 May 2021.
