Trial summary

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer related mortality worldwide, with more than 1.5 million related deaths annually. Lung cancer is divided into two main groups: Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (SCLC) and Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC), with prevalence of ~20% and 80% respectively. Read more about this study

About this study

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer related mortality worldwide, with more than 1.5 million related deaths annually. Lung cancer is divided into two main groups: Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (SCLC) and Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma (NSCLC), with prevalence of ~20% and 80% respectively. NSCLC is further subdivided into adenocarcinoma (the most common), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and large cell carcinoma. Furthermore, each subtype is likely to have specific mutations, which could be targeted for treatment.

Medical imaging and radiomics feature extraction represent a candidate alternative to conventional tissue biopsy, a theory that is investigated in this study.

What participants receive

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

  • Virtual biopsyDiagnostic test

    Also called Radiomics-based histology prediction

    Radiomics -the high throughput extraction of quantitative features from medical imaging- extract features that might potentially decode biologic tumor information, which might ultimately reduce the need to use invasive procedure, such as tissue biopsy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer, run by Maastricht University at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 6 Apr 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 Netherlands. 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?

Lung histology (time frame: December 2019). 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 6 Apr 2020.
