About this study

Official title: Pilot Study: Metabolic and Microbial Profiling of Lung Cancer

This pilot study will establish non-invasive sample collections, including breath, saliva, blood and urine pre-surgery and at the participant's one-month post-surgery follow-up visit. Participants with suspected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) stage I-III will be recruited.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective

  • To evaluate the feasibility of adding non-invasive sample collections in the pre-surgical setting and at the post-surgery follow-up visit.
  • To identify and assess metabolic and microbial signatures collected at pre- and post-surgery and determine which are indicative of lung cancer.

Secondary Objective

  • To identify signatures which are associated with lung cancer stage.
  • To identify signatures which are impacted by patient's pulmonary function status.
Being tested
Breath Collection, Saliva Collection, Blood Collection, Urine Collection, Tumor Collection
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What participants receive

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

  • Breath CollectionOther

    Pre-surgery, two 500 ml of exhaled breath volatiles (EBV) in each of 4 collection tubes will be collected in 5-7 min of breathing

  • Saliva CollectionOther

    Pre-surgery, 2 ml minimum of saliva will be collected into SalivaBio Passive Drool collection tubes

  • Blood CollectionOther

    Pre-surgery, an optional 5 ml blood sample in each redtop and purple top vacutainer blood collection tube

  • Urine CollectionOther

    Pre-surgery, 25 ml minimum of urine will be collected in sterile specimen containers

  • Tumor CollectionOther

    During surgical tumor removal, a tumor tissue sample will be collected

  • Medical History Data CollectionOther

    Medical history will be obtained from the patients charts to identify demographics (age, race, ethnicity, zip code), oncologic history (date of diagnosis and cancer type), and medical history of disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Needed for Feasibility

    The primary objectives is to assess the feasibility of adding these non-invasive sample collections to pre- and post-surgery visits the following outcomes (counts) will be gathered - (number eligible for trial, number that consent to participate, number that provide pre-surgery samples, number that provide post-surgery samples) using a 95% exact Clopper-Pearson confidence interval for each feasibility estimate.

    Measured: One month

  2. Pre-Surgery and Post-Surgery Metabolic Signatures

    Metabolic assessments will be taken before and after surgery of lung cancer biomarkers to examine a series of paired t-tests to determine which markers significantly change between the two time points for participants.

    Measured: One month post surgery

  3. Pre-Surgery and Post-Surgery Microbial Signatures

    Metabolic assessments will be taken before and after surgery of lung cancer biomarkers to examine a series of paired t-tests to determine which markers significantly change between the two time points for participants.

    Measured: One month post surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Identification of Lung Cancer Stage Specific Signatures

    For lung cancer examine whether pre-surgery, post-surgery or change from pre- to post- surgery metabolic or microbial measures are different depending on lung cancer stage. Consideration of the metabolic or microbial measures as outcomes and use a general linear models framework to see if lung cancer stage (included as a class variable, but then examined as an ordinal variable using a contrast statement in general linear model) is associated with any marker.

    Measured: One month post surgery

  2. Identification of Signatures Associated With Pulmonary Function

    For pulmonary function, the same approach as for lung cancer stage, except that pulmonary function will be considered as a continuous variable in the model. Pulmonary function can be examined at both time-points (pre- and post- surgery) thus we can examine the relationships between pulmonary function measures and biomarker measures at each time points (and the change in measures over time).

    Measured: One month post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Breath Collection, Saliva Collection and Blood Collection in people with Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer and Nonsmall Cell Lung Cancer Stage, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Nov 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants Needed for Feasibility (time frame: One month). 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 5 Nov 2021.
