Study population: Stage I to IVB non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer

Who may be able to join

  • Written Informed consent
  • Patients ≥18 years of age, with histologically confirmed non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who plan to receive active anti-cancer treatment for their non-small cell lung cancer.
  • Sufficient tissues with a minimum of two tumour or nodal regions are available for the study based on pre-operative imaging and post-operative pathological findings.

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: Quest for Tumour Evolution of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer in Chinese (Unicorn-Quest)

To study and comprehend the evolutionary and genomic landscape between primary and metastatic sites and the dynamics of intratumour and intertumour heterogeneity over time with reference to the treatment modalities for each Chinese patient with non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

The importance of intratumour and intertumour heterogeneity in non-small cell lung cancer has been extensively interrogated recently. However there is a lack of similar data associated with treatment and survival outcomes in Chinese population. Unicorn-Quest, a prospective observational study of Chinese patients with either primary or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, aims to identify the evolutionary changes from the primary tumour, regional nodes and distant metastases of the same patients and among different patients, through multiregion and longitudinal tumour and nodal collection with next-generation sequencing. By following non-small cell lung cancer from early stage to relapse or distant metastasis, identifying the changes of genomic landscape with correlation with treatment and survival outcomes, this study may help identify unique cancer trajectories and novel therapeutic targets for non-small cell lung cancer in Chinese population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intratumour heterogeneity

    Number of participants who have single actionable and non-actionable genetic mutations and multiple actionable and non-actionable genetic mutations within the same groups of patients with early and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Intertumour heterogeneity

    Number of participants who have single actionable and non-actionable genetic mutations and multiple actionable and non-actionable genetic mutations of different groups of patients with early and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 5 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 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 Hong Kong. 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?

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?

Intratumour heterogeneity (time frame: 5 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 13 Apr 2023.
