About this study

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.

Immunotherapy is a new therapeutic approach used in non small cell lung cancer in a late stage.

VOC analysis could allow to identify biomarkers of early response to immunotherapy. The study of VOC could help in the optimisation of immunotherapy prescription in lung cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Profiles of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) in exhaled air

    Comparison of variation of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles in exhaled air of patients before and during immunotherapy

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Variation of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) in exhaled air

    Correlation of variation with response to immunotherapy at week 9, 18 and 27 (according to RECIST criteria)

    Measured: change from baseline profiles at week 9, week 18 and week 27 post-baseline

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Profiles of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) in sweat

    Comparison of variation of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles in sweat of patients before and during immunotherapy

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Variation of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) in sweat

    Correlation of variation with response to immunotherapy at week 9, 18 and 27 (according to RECIST criteria)

    Measured: change from baseline profiles at week 9, week 18 and week 27 post-baseline

  3. Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profile and radiological response

    Correlation between Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profile before treatment and radiological response at 9, 18 and 27 weeks (defined by RECIST criteria)

    Measured: change from baseline profiles at week 9, week 18 and week 27 post-baseline

  4. Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profile and drug toxicity

    Correlation between variation of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) profiles and apparition of drug toxicity at 9, 18 and 27 weeks

    Measured: change from baseline profiles at week 9, week 18 and week 27 post-baseline

  5. Comparison of performance from Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) from exhaled air versus sweat

    Comparison of performance of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) from exhaled air versus Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) from sweat

    Measured: 1 day

  6. Comparison of performance of mass spectrometry versus electronic noses

    Comparison of performance of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) from mass spectrometry versus Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) from electronic noses

    Measured: 1 day

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2022. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Evolution of the treatment procedures so that their is no more benefits for patients). 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?

Profiles of Volatil Organic Compound (VOC) in exhaled air (time frame: 1 day). 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 27 Jan 2022.
