Study population: Royal Marsden Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (Sutton and Chelsea)

Who may be able to join

  • One of the following criteria:
  • Patients with lung cancer at any stage or time in their disease.
  • Patients without lung cancer who have been referred by the TWR pathway.
  • Patients without lung cancer who have radiological changes on their X-Ray or CT scan that need follow up.

About this study

The aim is to invite 1,000 patients with symptoms triggering the lung cancer diagnostic pathway or with significant risks of lung cancer, referred to The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust (RMH) referral centres (Kingston Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, Croydon University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust or St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust) over a 1 year period, to complete a life style questionnaire, document lung function tests and to donate a blood sample for storage with a view to testing for a genetic signature and other biomarkers in future studies from this established biobank.

Read the detailed description

Patients will have been referred under the two week rule (TWR) diagnostic pathway, some will have lung cancer, others not, and other patients will have had a diagnosis of lung cancer by other pathways i.e. non TWR.

There are 3 groups of patients:

Group A - lung cancer patients at any stage and by any non TWR pathway, n=250. Group B - lung cancer patients who were referred initially by the TWR pathway, n=150.

Group C - Subjects referred by the TWR pathway (i.e. with symptoms) who do not have lung cancer, or subjects referred by any pathway who do not have lung cancer but do have radiological changes (that need follow up) or a strong family history of lung cancer, n=600.

A strong family history for this study means 1 or more first degree relatives with lung cancer with at least one individual having lung cancer at age <50 yrs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Create a collection of blood samples in a Biobank for Future Use

    The aim is to ask 1,000 patients with symptoms triggering the lung cancer diagnostic pathway or with significant risks of lung cancer and to create a collection of blood samples in a Biobank for Future Use.

    Measured: 3 Years

  2. Feasibility as a Primary Endpoint

    Feasibility will be reported as the primary endpoint, where we expect 50% of patients would be willing to give a blood sample- i.e. 250/year for 2 years and thus a biobank will be established.

    Measured: 3 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer and Lung Cancer, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust 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 7 inclusion and 3 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 10 Feb 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 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 Mary O'Brien (020 8642 6011, Lung.Trials@rmh.nhs.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Create a collection of blood samples in a Biobank for Future Use (time frame: 3 Years). 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 10 Feb 2022.
