Trial summary

Bronchopulmonary cancer, with 39 000 new cases and 30 000 deaths per year, is a main issue in public health in France. It is the leading cause of cancer death in France. A lot of progress in medical care has been made, but surgery remains the most effective treatment, when it is still possible. Read more about this study

About this study

Bronchopulmonary cancer, with 39 000 new cases and 30 000 deaths per year, is a main issue in public health in France. It is the leading cause of cancer death in France. A lot of progress in medical care has been made, but surgery remains the most effective treatment, when it is still possible. The goal is to detect and manage the lung cancer as early as possible. Alongside screening strategies by annual thoracic scanner, new approaches with innovative technologies open up for cancer detection and therapeutic follow-up.

The study of volatile organic compounds (VOC) detected in exhaled air or in sweat, is an innovative research area for respiratory diseases. The volatolomic analysis can be done either by the technique of the mass spectrometry which allows the identification of each VOC in the exhaled air or by the technique of electronic nose, simpler and faster, which provides an idea of the general profile of the VOC without identifying them. The VOC have shown their interest in some situations, such as diagnostic or prognostic tool in patients followed for thoracic tumorous pathology or bronchial or pulmonary vascular diseases.

The composition of VOC in exhaled air and sweat is altered in patients with lung cancer. The VOC analysis and their variation could be used particularly in the follow-up of patients treated for lung cancer.

The purpose of this clinical research is to identify the VOCs related to lung cancers by comparing the VOC profiles in exhaled air and in sweat from patients diagnosed with localized lung cancer before and after resection surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles by mass spectrometry

    Comparison of variation in Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles in exhaled air of patients before and after surgery. The VOC will be identified by their molecular mass (by the mass spectrometry)

    Measured: change from baseline profiles at 2 month post-surgery

  2. Comparison of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles in by electronic noses

    Comparison of variation in Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles in exhaled air of patients before and after surgery. The VOC will be identified by the sensor deflection (by the electronic noses).

    Measured: change from baseline profiles at 2 month post-surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Comparison of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles in sweat

    Comparison of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles in sweat of patients before and after surgery. The VOC will be identified by their molecular mass (by the mass spectrometry).

    Measured: 30 days before the surgery and 45 to 75 days after surgery

  2. Variation of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) and relapse rate

    Correlation between the variation of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) before-after surgery and relapse rate at 2 years

    Measured: 30 days before the surgery, 45 to 75 days after surgery and 2 years

  3. Correlation between Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles and relapse rate

    Correlation between the Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles 2 months after the surgery and relapse rate at 2 years

    Measured: 2 months and 2 years after surgery

  4. Comparison of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles in exhaled air and tumoral lung tissue

    Comparison of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles in exhaled air of patients and those released ex-vivo by the tumoral lung tissue. The VOC will be identified by their molecular mass (by the mass spectrometry).

    Measured: 30 days before the surgery, day of surgery and 45 to 75 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing VOC analysis in people with Lung Cancer, Non-small Cell, run by Hopital Foch at 1 site in France.

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 12 inclusion and 0 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 19 Dec 2020. 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 France. 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 Elisabeth Hullier-Ammar (+33 1 46 25 11 75, drci-promotion@hopital-foch.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles by mass spectrometry (time frame: change from baseline profiles at 2 month post-surgery). 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 19 Dec 2020.
