Trial summary

To determine whether the presence of circulating/disseminated tumour cells (CTCs/DTCs) in the blood and bone marrow of the resectable lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is a negative prognostic factor, and to find correlations with other clinical/pathological disease characteristics.

About this study

What participants receive

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

  • Device for CTC/DTC detectionDiagnostic test

    The CTCs/DTCs will be detected and counted in peripheral blood, tumour draining blood and bone marrow samples.

What is being measured

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

  1. CEA, EGFR, LunX, c-met and EpCAM mRNA positive circulating tumour cells in lung cancer patients

    The absolute gene expression of CEA, EGFR, LunX, c-met and EpCAM mRNA positive circulating tumour cells(CTCs) isolated from peripheral blood, tumour draining blood and bone marrow samples of lung cancer patients will be measured using real-time RT-PCR method. The gene expression will be normalized per microgram of total mRNA.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cancer specific survival in CTC positive NSCLC patients

    The cancer specific survival, overall survival and disease free survival will be measured from the time of diagnosis to the time of event. Two groups of patients will be compared:

    A: Patients with the presence of CTCs in peripheral blood, tumour draining blood and bone marrow before NSCLC surgery as described in primary outcome measure.

    B: Patients with the absence e of CTCs in peripheral blood, tumour draining blood and bone marrow before NSCLC surgery as described in primary outcome measure.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Circulating Tumor Cell, run by The Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine, Czech Republic at 1 site in Czechia.

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 1 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 17 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 Czechia. 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?

CEA, EGFR, LunX, c-met and EpCAM mRNA positive circulating tumour cells in lung cancer patients (time frame: 30 days). 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 17 Nov 2022.
