About this study

Official title: Tumor Microenvironment in Lung Adenocarcinoma

Cancer immunotherapy has the great potential to achieve long-term survival in patients with a solid malignancy. However, the beneficial effect of cancer immunotherapy is seen in only a minority of patients. Mounting evidence suggests that immunosuppressive features in the tumor microenvironment prevent an effective antitumor defense. The aim of the investigators is to comprehensively analyze the cytokine profile and the tumor immune infiltrate in the tumor microenvironment and to investigate its prognostic significance in patients with radically resected lung adenocarcinoma.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    Association of tumor microenvironment with overall survival

    Measured: From date of surgery until the date of death from any cause assessed up to 100 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Recurrence-free survival

    Association of tumor microenvironment with recurrence-free survival

    Measured: From date of surgery until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 100 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Adenocarcinoma, run by University Hospital Heidelberg.

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 5 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Overall survival (time frame: From date of surgery until the date of death from any cause assessed up to 100 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05982574, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 May 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
