About this study

Official title: Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) Dynamic Monitoring Plus Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Based Pathology Predict the Efficacy of Chemoimmunotherapy in Resectable Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC)

The goal of this observational study is to explore whether ctDNA dynamic monitoring plus AI-based pathology can more effectively predict the therapeutic effect of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy for resectable lung squamous cell carcinoma, so as to accurately guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single-center, observational, non-interventional, prospective study. 50 patients diagnosed with lung squamous cell carcinoma receiving neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (ranging 2 to 4 cycles) will be planned to be enrolled in the study. Pre-treatment biopsy tissues of enrolled patients will be collected for whole exon sequencing (WES) testing, and personalized detection panel will be customized based on WES testing results. Peripheral blood will be collected 1 day before each cycle of neoadjuvant therapy, 1 day before surgery, 3 days after surgery, and 3 weeks after surgery for ctDNA testing. In addition, the prediction model of AI-based pathology will be constructed by AI deep learning based on pathological sections of pre-treatment biopsy tissues. All inclued patients will be regularly followed up for at least 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathologic completet response (pCR) rate

    pCR rate is defined as the percentage of participants having an absence of residual tumor cells in resected lung specimens and lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant therapy.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. ctDNA resolution

    ctDNA resolution is defined as the change or resolution in tumor-derived DNA found in the bloodstream from diagnosis to after neoadjuvant therapy and after surgery, correlated with pathologic complete response (pCR)

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  3. Development of computer algorithm to identify pCR features

    Development of computer algorithm to identify pCR features

    Measured: From retrospective data collection to algorithm development (6 month)

  4. Validation of computer algorithm to identify pCR features

    Validation of computer algorithm to identify pCR features

    Measured: From prospective data collection to algorithm validation (6 months)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Major pathological response (MPR) rate

    MPR rate is defined as the percentage of participants having ≤10% viable tumor cells in the resected primary tumor and resected lymph nodes following completion of neoadjuvant therapy.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Objective response rate(ORR)

    The proportion of patients achieved complete or patial remission(Imageological) according to RECIST 1.1 prior to definitive surgery.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  3. Adverse events (AEs)

    Number of participants experiencing AEs will be recorded. An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  4. Perioperative complications rate

    Number of participants experiencing perioperative complications will be recorded.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  5. Health-related Quality of Life

    Health-related Quality of Life will be assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) version 3.0, the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire in Lung Cancer (EORTC QLQ-LC13), and the European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) questionnaire.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  6. Perioperative pain evaluation

    Perioperative pain evaluation assessed by a numeric rating scale (NRS)

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  7. Disease free survival (DFS)

    From the date of surgery to any of the following events: disease progression, disease recurrence or death from any cause.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  8. Overall survival (OS)

    From the date of participated in study to the date of death.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University 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 7 inclusion and 9 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 2023. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yan Hu, M.D., Ph.D. (8685296122, yanhu@csu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pathologic completet response (pCR) rate (time frame: Up to 1 year). The study lists 4 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 21 Mar 2023.
