Trial summary

Peripheral blood contains enormous quantity of biological information that can improve our patient care. Investigators plan to use proteomics from serum to study its value in predicting the therapeutic response and toxicities of immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

About this study

Peripheral blood contains enormous quantity of biological information that can improve our patient care. Investigators plan to use proteomics from serum to study its value in predicting the therapeutic response and toxicities of immunotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Read the detailed description

An extra tube of blood for research will be collected from consented subjects prior to the initiation of anti-PD-1/L1 based immunotherapy, either single agent or in combination with chemotherapy. The blood will be coded, processed and sent for analysis. Results of analysis will be correlated with clinical data to see whether serum proteomics can be a good therapeutic predictor for future studies and treatments of NSCLC.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood drawProcedure or surgery

    Participants will be approached during their regular clinic visits and asked if an extra tube of blood may be collected prior to the treatment. If consent is not obtained before this visit, a participant will be asked later in the same day. The amount of blood collected will be 2 teaspoons (10mL).

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment response

    Treatment response will be measured every 2-3 months using iRECIST criteria.

    Measured: Time of study enrollment up to one year

  2. Treatment toxicities

    The treatment toxicities will be recorded using CTCAE version 5.0

    Measured: Time of study enrollment up to one year

  3. Correlate peripheral blood proteomics data with patients' clinical information

    An extra tube of peripheral blood (~10ml) will be collected prior to the treatment. This blood specimen will be spun down and the serum collected and aliquoted. ~1ml serum will be shipped to Biodesix Inc. for the analysis of blood proteomics using matrix-assisted laser/desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. We will correlate proteomics data with patients clinical information including treatment response, toxicities, tumor mutation/PD-L1 status, etc. to determine if peripheral blood protemoics can predict therapeutic response.

    Measured: Time of study enrollment up to one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Muhammad Furqan at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2023. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: low enrollment and remaining oncologist workload). 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?

Treatment response (time frame: Time of study enrollment up to one year). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03951012, which also lists 2 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.

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 12 Oct 2023.
