About this study

The study is to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of serum exosome noncoding RNA as a biomarker for the diagnosis of lung cancer

Read the detailed description

Conventional tumor markers for non-invasive diagnosis of Lung cancer (LC) exhibit insufficient sensitivity and specificity to facilitate detection of early lung cancer (ELC). The investigators aimed to identify ELC-specific exosomal lncRNA biomarkers that are highly sensitive and stable for the non-invasive diagnosis of ELC.Hence, in the present study, exosomes from the plasma of five healthy individuals and 30 LC patients and from culture media of four human bronchial epithelial cells and four cancer cells were isolated. Exosomal RNA profiling was performed using RNA sequencing to identify LC specific exosomal lncRNAs.

What is being measured

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

  1. The expression levels of serum exosome long non-coding RNA

    Measured: the first day subjects are enrolled the outcome will be assessed;up to three years after the completion of the study

  2. the expression levels of tumor biomarkers such as CEA, NSE, SCC, CYFR2A-1

    Measured: the first day subjects are enrolled the outcome will be assessed;up to three years after the completion of the study

  3. the CT scans of the lung for the patients

    Measured: the first day subjects are enrolled the outcome will be assessed;up to three years after the completion of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer (Diagnosis), run by Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology at 1 site 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 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 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?

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?

The expression levels of serum exosome long non-coding RNA (time frame: the first day subjects are enrolled the outcome will be assessed;up to three years after the completion of the study). The study lists 3 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 22 Nov 2021.
