Trial summary

The aim of the study is the early and non-invasive diagnosis of lung cancer in patients with pulmonary ground glass opacity. In particular, objective of the study is to evaluate the presence or absence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) on the peripheral blood of patients with evidence of ground glass opacity(GGO) at CT… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of Circulating Tumor DNA on Early Cancer Detection and Evaluation of STAS in Patients With Ground Glass Opacities

The aim of the study is the early and non-invasive diagnosis of lung cancer in patients with pulmonary ground glass opacity. In particular, objective of the study is to evaluate the presence or absence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) on the peripheral blood of patients with evidence of ground glass opacity(GGO) at CT scan and to evaluate the role that this can play in the diagnostic / therapeutic process. The ctDNA evaluation will be performed at the first radiological finding and subsequently correlated with the malignancy of the lesion based on the radiological / histological criteria regularly used in international protocols.

Secondary objective is the correlation, in patients with malignant GGO undergoing surgical treatment, of the ctDNA presence and tumor spread through the air spaces (STAS), and its correlation with local relapses.

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantification of cf DNA

    Assess quantity of the circulating free DNA measured in ng/μL using Qubit 2.0

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 year

  2. Presence of ct DNA

    Number of participants with of circulating tumor DNA using a lung pannel for genes: EGFR, KRAS, NRAS, TP53, SKT11, DDR2, PIK3CA, FGFR3, CTNNB1, MET, BRAF, ERBB2, SMAD4, PTEN, AKT, FGFR2, ERBB4, NOTCH1, FGFR1, ALK, IDH1, HRAS, IDH2, PDGFRA, RET, ROS1

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Spreading of Tumor, run by University of Roma La Sapienza at 1 site in Italy.

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 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 8 Nov 2022. 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 Italy. 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 Marco Anile, MD (+390649970220, marco.anile@uniroma1.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quantification of cf DNA (time frame: through study completion, an average of 2 year). 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 8 Nov 2022.
