About this study

Official title: Early Adjuvant Diagnosis Clinical Trial of Pulmonary Nodules Based on Circulating Tumor Cells.

The goal of this observational clinical trial is to evaluate the value of circulating tumor cell detection in the early diagnosis of malignant pulmonary nodule. The main questions it aims to answer is: the sensitivity and specificity of peripheral blood circulating tumor cell detection in differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules (≤3cm). Participants will be asked provide 4mL of peripheral blood for the test.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the value of circulating tumor cell detection in the early diagnosis of malignant pulmonary nodule. Patients with clinical suspected malignant pulmonary nodules will be included in this trial. Peripheral blood of participants will be collected before surgery or biopsy. Clinical and imaging data of enrolled patients will also be collected. Pathological diagnosis is the gold standard for differentiating benign and malignant pulmonary nodules. The sensitivity and specificity of CTC detection for diagnosing malignant pulmonary nodules will be analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. sensitivity

    the ability of peripheral blood CTC count detection to identify malignant pulmonary nodules when the real condition is malignancy

    Measured: until the samples are collected and tested as planned, up to 72 months

  2. specificity

    the ability of peripheral blood CTC count detection to exclude malignant pulmonary nodules when the real condition is benign disease

    Measured: until the samples are collected and tested as planned, up to 72 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Nodules, Solitary and Pulmonary Nodules, Multiple, run by China-Japan Friendship Hospital 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 4 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 27 Feb 2025. 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?

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?

sensitivity (time frame: until the samples are collected and tested as planned, up to 72 months). 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 27 Feb 2025.
