Trial summary

The goal of this observational clinical trial is to learn if chest tomosynthesis is a potential alternative to computed tomography for the detection of lung cancer. It will also develop artificial intelligence tools to aid in the diagnosis of lung cancer on chest tomosynthesis images. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Chest X-ray Tomosynthesis for Detection of Lung Cancer and Lung Disease

The goal of this observational clinical trial is to learn if chest tomosynthesis is a potential alternative to computed tomography for the detection of lung cancer. It will also develop artificial intelligence tools to aid in the diagnosis of lung cancer on chest tomosynthesis images. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • What is the accuracy of chest X-ray tomosynthesis in diagnosing lung cancer in a population of individuals undergoing lung cancer screening or evaluation of a suspicious lung nodule?
  • Can artificial intelligence help us detect lung cancer on chest tomosynthesis images?

Researchers will compare chest tomosynthesis images to computed tomography scans for each participant to see how they compare in diagnosing lung cancer.

Participants will a chest tomosynthesis scan in addition to their routine clinical computed tomography scan.

Read the detailed description

Lung cancer remains the most common cause of cancer death in the United States for which low-dose CT has proven benefit for early detection and survival from lung cancer. However, adoption remains low. Furthermore, >95% of nodules detected on low-dose CT, especially those smaller than 6 mm, do not represent cancer. We have partnered to develop a novel chest x-ray tomosynthesis (CXRT) device with the hypothesis that this device might be an alternative to CT for detection of lung cancer. We seek to recruit a cohort of patients to undergo CXRT, composed of patients concurrently undergoing lung cancer screening CT and diagnostic CT for new lung cancer. We will determine the effectiveness of CXRT for detecting lung cancer in this population, evaluating its sensitivity and specificity for detecting cancer and lung nodules at multiple size thresholds in a multireader study. We will additionally develop artificial intelligence algorithms and evaluate their efficacy to further enhance cancer detection.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by University of California, San Diego at 1 site in United States.

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 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 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 United States. 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 Alexander Cypro, MD (858-2462196, aidaresearch2023@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Chest X-ray tomosynthesis detection of lung cancer (time frame: through 12/31/2026). 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 29 Aug 2024.
