Chest Imaging, Breath, and Biomarkers in a Screening Trial

May 17, 2017 updated by: Moulay Meziane, MD, The Cleveland Clinic

A Clinical Trial to Develop Chest Imaging, Breath, and Biomarkers in a Screening Trial

The investigators would like to see if lung cancer screening with chest x-rays,computer aided detection (CAD)and a lose dose CT scan can detect lung cancer in early stages when it is more responsive to treatment. The investigators would also like to see if early detection will reduce the incidence of symptomatic advanced lung cancer compared to no screening in former and current smokers with or without a family history of lung cancer who are 40-75 years old.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The fight against lung cancer is waged on three major fronts: prevention, detection and treatment. Our goal is to determine if chest x-rays,computer aided detection (CAD)and a CT scan can detect disease earlier when treatment is more effective. If we improve the detection of disease, we will see if screening reduces the incidence of symptomatic advanced lung cancer relative to no screening in people at high risk to develop lung cancer.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
all enrolled subjects
Intervention is chest x-ray and CT scan. The chest x-ray image is read first without computer aided detection (CAD) and then a second time with computer aided detection (CAD) the CT scan is read by one reader. Subjects are asked to contribute breath and blood samples.
Device: chest x-ray with or without CAD, lose dose CT scan
PA view, low dose CT scan
Other Names:
  • CAD
  • computer aided detection

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The sensitivities of chest x-ray with CAD and chest CT
Time Frame: One year after scan
The false positive rates of chest x-ray with CAD and chest CT will be compared. The analysis will be based on the study subjects from this prospective study who test positive with chest x-ray and/or CT and who are determined not to have lung cancer during the follow-up period.
One year after scan

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease-specific mortality between screening with chest x-ray and CAD versus no screening
Time Frame: One year after scan
Mortality rate in screening x-ray vs CAD
One year after scan
All-cause mortality rate between screening with chest x-ray and CAD versus no screening
Time Frame: One year after scan
All cause mortality rate
