About this study

Official title: Change in Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and Survival Among Advanced Lung Cancer Patients Receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors With Immunomodulator: a Retrospective Study

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the change of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) after 6-week treatment of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) with or without immunomodulatory drugs and recognize the effect of post-treatment NLR and overall survival in advanced lung cancer patients by retrospective review.

Read the detailed description

In recent years, the therapeutic strategies for lung cancer have been enriched with small molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy. In this retrospective study, we will observe the change in NLR and explore its possible association with survival among advanced lung cancer patients receiving Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) with and without such immuno-modulator, Astragalus Polysaccharide Injection. It can be used to understand the relationship between NLR values and the survival rate of lung cancer patients after ICIs treatment. Physicians can refer to this result to give patients the suitable treatment recommendations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Advanced Lung Cancer, run by Chung Shan Medical University at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 2 Jul 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 Taiwan. 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?

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (time frame: Baseline, 4~8 week). 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 2 Jul 2020.
