Trial summary

Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence, accounting for the first cause of tumor death. At present, smoking, occupational and environmental exposure, air pollution and genetic factors are considered to be related to the incidence of lung cancer. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The subjects of this study are patients with lung shadow confirmed by CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy. They mainly include infectious diseases of the lung, Tumors and interstitial lung diseases. The subjects are patients who cannot be diagnosed by conventional non-invasive testing methods (including blood, sputum and other specimens) and bronchoscopy, and the patients need to be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible (such as lung tumors, lung infections and other diseases ).

Who may be able to join

  • Pulmonary shadow patients, including lung cancer and non-lung cancer patients, whose tissue pathology can be clearly diagnosed by percutaneous lung puncture;
  • Age ≥18, ≤80 years, regardless of gender;
  • Agree to submit for pathology and pathogen metagenomic sequencing;
  • Voluntary signed informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with metastatic lung cancer;
  • Patients with contraindications to percutaneous lung puncture: those with hemorrhagic disease or severe coagulopathy; those with severe emphysema and cardiopulmonary insufficiency; the lung lesions may be vascular diseases such as hemangioma or arteriovenous fistula Etc .; severe cough cannot be controlled by uncooperatives; active hemoptysis;
  • Patients with other tumorous diseases;
  • patients with rheumatic diseases;
  • Patients with severe primary diseases such as heart, cerebrovascular, liver, kidney, hematopoietic system;
  • Patients with moderate to severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance ≤50ml/hour);

About this study

Official title: A Cross-sectional Study of the Correlation of Tumor Tissue Microbiome to the Pathogenesis of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence, accounting for the first cause of tumor death. At present, smoking, occupational and environmental exposure, air pollution and genetic factors are considered to be related to the incidence of lung cancer. However, the occurrence of cancer is related to many factors. In recent years, researches have found that microorganisms are closely related to various human cancers. It is reported that 20% of cancers are related to multiple microorganisms, such as EB virus and nasopharyngeal cancer, HBV and liver cancer. Understanding the correlation between pathogenic microorganisms and cancer is of great significance for the pathogenesis, prevention and treatment of cancer. Basic researches have found that mycotoxins are related to animal models of lung cancer, but have not been confirmed in clinical and human.

With the help of microbial metagenome Next Generation Sequencing (mNGS) and bioinformatics analysis, the investigators initially found in clinical practice that some patients had fungal infections such as fungi in lung cancer tissues. This study intends to collect clinical cases (cross-sectional studies) to explore the correlation between the pathogenic microbiome and lung cancer, in order to confirm that the occurrence of lung cancer is closely related to microorganisms such as fungi.

Read the detailed description

The investigator designe a cross-sectional study to explore the correlation between the pathogenic microbiome and lung cancer, and to understand the specific pathogen distribution of the "lung cancer microbiome" in order to provide new ideas and strategies for the pathogenesis and prevention of lung cancer.

The subjects of this study are patients with lung shadow confirmed by CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy. Lung shadows usually refer to high-density areas found in the parenchymal areas of the lungs on radiographs or radiographs, and often appear on CT as exudation, consolidation, masses, or nodules. Lung shadows mainly include infectious diseases of the lung, Tumors and interstitial lung diseases. The subjects are patients who cannot be diagnosed by conventional non-invasive testing methods (including blood, sputum and other specimens) and bronchoscopy, and the patients need to be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible (such as lung tumors, lung infections and other diseases ). Obtaining pathological and etiology of lung lesion tissue for examination is a necessary and effective diagnostic measure. Part of the biopsy tissue will be submitted for pathology and immunohistochemical detection, and the other part will be submitted for microbial mNGS detection.

Pulmonary shadow cases include lung cancer and non-lung cancer patients, which are intended to be included in 300 cases. According to the previous lung shadow patients admitted to respiratory department in Huashan Hospital, it is estimated that about 100 lung cancer patients and 200 non-lung cancer patients will be included, respectively.

Observation indicators in this study include histopathology of lung puncture biopsy, and next-generation sequencing of microorganisms in lung puncture biopsy.Baseline screening includes demographic data, medical history, combined medication records, symptoms, signs, electrocardiogram, lung function, and safety observation indicators. All patients will be followed up for 1 week for a total of three times, including baseline follow-up, 24 hours after lung puncture, and 1 week after lung puncture.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Microbiome, run by Huashan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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 7 Feb 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 China. 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 Shengqing Li, PhD (+8602152887072, shengqingli9655@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of cases of fungi found in lung cancer tissues (time frame: 21 months). 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 7 Feb 2020.
