About this study

This is a prospective observational pilot study to investigate levels of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in plasma from patients with stage I to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who will undergo treatment with curative intent.

Read the detailed description

Taking as reference tumour-specific somatic genetic alterations identified within individual cancer biopsies from patients, recent advances in genomic and next generation sequencing technologies now provide the opportunity to investigate whether each patient's tumour-specific DNA can be reliably detected within their plasma. This offers the possibility to test a patient's response following treatment with curative intent. This technology has already been used to detect ctDNA in metastatic NSCLC, but not yet in early stage disease.

The primary objective of this pilot study is to test the feasibility of detecting serial ctDNA levels in stage I to IIIB NSCLC patients who undergo treatment with curative intent. As secondary endpoints, this study aims to measure ctDNA levels and characteristics, and to correlate them with clinical features (such as burden of disease and treatment response) in order to test the value of ctDNA as a diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarker for patients with NSCLC.

100 patients planned for curative treatment (surgery or radical radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy) will be recruited.

Being tested
Blood sampling, Surplus Tumour Tissue sample collection from surgery, Collection or archival tumour tissue (If available)
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.

  • Blood samplingProcedure or surgery

    Blood samples will be obtained during routine clinical visits. Ideally, two 9mL blood samples (or equivalent volume) will be collected into EDTA or other appropriate blood collection tube at each time point except at baseline, where three EDTA 9mL tubes and one of 2.6mL (for study of whole blood) will be collected.

  • Surplus Tumour Tissue sample collection from surgeryProcedure or surgery

    In surgical patients, lung tumour samples and normal lung tissue will be obtained from surplus tissue removed at the time of surgery. No extra procedures (biopsies or surgeries) are requested for the study.

  • Collection or archival tumour tissue (If available)Other

    Where available surplus tumour and normal tissue from archival tissue will be collected for analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. ctDNA detection rate in all patients

    The primary endpoint is the ctDNA detection rate in the baseline blood sample of early stage NSCLC patients undergoing treatment with curative intent.

    Measured: Baseline blood sample

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. ctDNA baseline levels, genetic alterations and other features in all patients

    To quantify the baseline levels, genetic alterations and other features of ctDNA in patients with NSCLC undergoing treatment with curative intent

    Measured: Baseline blood sample

  2. ctDNA levels, genetic alterations and other characteristics with clinical features in all patients

    To correlate ctDNA levels (fraction and/or absolute amplifiable copies), genetic alterations and other ctDNA characteristics with clinical features such as response to treatment, burden of disease (as evaluated by, e.g. radiology, pathology or performance status), disease relapse and future outcomes.

    Measured: Blood samples will be taken at routine clinic visits through study completion, an average of 3 years.

  3. Comparison of ctDNA levels and mutation profile at relapse to that obtained at earlier time points

    To compare the ctDNA levels and mutation profile at relapse to that obtained at earlier time points

    Measured: Blood samples will be taken at relapse through study completion, an average of 3 years.

  4. Correlate the genetic alterations found in different regions of each tumour with histological features and genetic alterations in the ctDNA

    To correlate the genetic alterations found in different regions of each tumour with histological features and genetic alterations in the ctDNA

    Measured: Lung tumour tissue will be collected from surgery through end of study, an average of 3 years.

  5. Test ctDNA levels, genetic alterations or other characteristics during and after treatment with radical radiotherapy

    To test ctDNA levels, genetic alterations or other characteristics, before, during and after treatment with radical radiotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) and to correlate them with clinical features, e.g. response to treatment and clinical outcomes

    Measured: Blood samples will be taken every week of radiotherapy and at follow-up clinic visits, approximately every 3 months for 9 months after the end of treatment

  6. Establish a library of samples for future analysis

    To establish a library of samples for future analysis using more advanced technology, i.e. to achieve a more detailed retrospective analysis of ctDNA levels and genomic alterations/features in relation to clinical outcomes.

    Measured: Blood samples will be taken at baseline, during treatment and at follow-up clinic visits, approximately every 3 months for 9 months after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by CCTU- Cancer Theme at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2019. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Contact Cambridge Clinical Trials Unit - Cancer Theme, or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ctDNA detection rate in all patients (time frame: Baseline blood sample). 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 Nov 2019.
