Study population: Our experimental design consists to submit two groups of participants: Group1: 100 lung cancer patients scheduled for surgery resection of lung cancer. Group2: 100 high-risk healthy controls

Who may be able to join

  • Lung cancer group
  • Diagnosis of early stage - lung cancer
  • Signed Informed Consent
  • Completed questionnaire
  • Healthy subjects
  • high risk individuals (heavy smokers, subjects with pulmonary disease non-cancer related or with a familiar history of lung cancer disease)
  • Recent (within 6 months) negative Chest X-ray or CT scan

About this study

Official title: Volatolomic and Proteomic Profile; Breath, Urine and Serum as Non-invasive Tools for Early Diagnosis of Lung Cancer

The goal of this prospective, case-control study is to discover the specific "omics" biomarkers of early stage of lung cancer using the non-invasive samples (breath, urine and serum) in a total of 200 subjects (100 healthy controls and 100 lung cancer patient). The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Which are the "omics" biomarkers that characterize the early stage of lung cancer?
  • How to Translate Laboratory Data into Clinical Data?

For each participant we will collected the breath, urine and blood samples. In lung cancer patients group the samples will be sample before lung cancer resection. The samples of Breath, urine and serum will be analysed using different type of analysis: eNose and the Gas Chromatography combined with Ion Mass Spectrometry (GC/IMS). Moreover, Serum will be analyzed by mass-spectrometry-based proteomics. The purpose of these analyses will be to find biomarkers capable of distinguishing the early-stage of lung cancer from the healthy group. Followup will be performed to evaluate the possible change of the volatolomic and proteomic profile.

Read the detailed description

All partecipants will sign the Informed Consent before the sampling procedures. In addition, they will complete the clinical questionnaire containing medical history, smoking history and psychological evaluation.We will conduct the trial according to the ICH Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines. Keeping accurate and consistent records is essential to a cooperative study.The IEO Data Management Office will responsible of the study database and data management.

What participants receive

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

  • Breath, urine and blood analysisOther

    breath sampling: all subjects exhale into two sterile Tedlar bags, connected to a mouthpiece, in a condition similar to traditional spirometry.

    Urine will be collected usual urine container.

    The blood sample (~ 5 ml) will be taken with a serum separator tube.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of the proteomic and volatolomic signature in samples of respiratory exhalation, serum, and urine from patients with lung cancer (stage I/II) and healthy individuals at high risk.

    Enrolling two cohorts at baseline: healthy individuals at high risk with negative LDCT (no suspicious oncological findings) vs. patients with early-stage I/II lung cancer candidates for surgical resection; sampling in lung cancer patients will be performed pre-intervention. We will assess and compare the serum and urinary proteomic and volatile organic compound profiles, serum and respiratory, of the two cohorts under study at baseline and changes in proteomic and volatile organic compound signature at 12 months from baseline.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Omics-Data intagration.

    The serum proteomic and serum volatomomic, urinary, and respiratory data will be compared using algorithms based on artificial intelligence and deep learning. Data from each test, including patient follow-up, will be analyzed using multivariate statistical analysis of samples with multivariable logistic and Cox proportional hazards regression models to identify the most significant variables.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Stage I, run by European Institute of Oncology at 1 site in Italy.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2024. 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Roberto Gasparri, MD, PhD (0257489499, roberto.gasparri@ieo.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of the proteomic and volatolomic signature in samples of respiratory exhalation, serum, and urine from patients with lung cancer (stage I/II) and healthy individuals at high risk. (time frame: 12 months). 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 2 Apr 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
