About this study

Official title: Detection of Early-stage Lung Cancer Using Machine Learning and Plasma Metabolomics

There are no reliable blood-based tests currently available for early-stage lung cancer diagnosis. We try to establish a highly accurate method for detecting early-stage lung cancer by combining machine learning with untargeted and targeted metabolomics .

Read the detailed description

All plasma lipids were first detected by untargeted metabolomics methods and 9 feature lipids of early-stage lung cancer were selected by support vector machine algorithm. Then, a targeted metabolomics method was developed to detect the 9 lipids quantitatively based on multiple reaction monitoring mode. Finally, a detection model was established based on the 9 lipids.

What participants receive

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

  • Plasma lipidsDiagnostic test

    Plasma lipids were detected by an Ultimate 3000 ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system coupled with Q-Exactive MS (Thermo Scientific) . Then a detection model was built based on plasma lipids using machine learning algorithm.

Study groups in NCT04287712
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Participants received surgeryPatients who underwent surgery at the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Peaking University People's Hospital, Jiangsu Cancer Hospital, and Beijing Haidian Hospital were enrolled with the following criteria: 1) pathologically confirmed lung cancer; 2) no history of other malignancies; 3) no anti-cancer treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, etc.) before surgery. Plasma samples were collected before surgery and plasma lipids were detected by mass spectrometry. Pathological diagnosis and clinical characteristics of enrolled participants were retrieved.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Plasma lipids

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma Lipids

    A detection model based on 9 lipids were developed, including 3 lysophosphatidylcholines, 5 phosphatidylcholines, and a triglyceride. The 9 lipids were detected by targeted metabolomics by mass spectrometry.

    Measured: All samples were detected together after participants recruitment and sample collection. All samples were detected within 18 months from sample collection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Early-Stage Lung Cancer, run by Peking University People's 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Plasma Lipids (time frame: All samples were detected together after participants recruitment and sample collection. All samples were detected within 18 months from sample collection.). 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 4 Jun 2020.
