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

Patients with advanced NSCLC underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT and PET/CT-guided synchronous targeted biopsy of primary and distant metastatic tumors. The LIFEx package was used to extract PET and CT radiomic features from primary and metastatic lesions. The radiomic ROI sites of primary and distant metastatic tumors were point-to-point corresponding to the PET/ CT-guided targeted biopsy sites. Whole exon sequencing of primary and distant metastatic tumor samples obtained by PET/CT-guided targeted biopsy was used to get genomic data of primary and distant metastatic tumor. Predictive radiogenomics models were established and validation.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

18 years to 90 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

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
Radiomic feature selection and model establishment
Time Frame: 3 years
In this study, the investigators first selected the features with significant differences between genes mutant and wild type in the training set using the Mann-Whitney U test, obtaining a total of 53 features with p value < 0.05. Then, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm was used to select the optimal predictive features among the 53 selected in the training set. The LASSO algorithm adds a L1 regularization term to a least square algorithm to avoid overfitting. A prediction model was established by logistic regression, and the radiomics signature score (rad-score) for each participant was calculated based on the selected discriminating radiomic features. The model performance was tested in the validation set. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the model performance in the training and validation sets.
3 years

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
Genes mutation detection
Time Frame: 30 days
Genes mutation detection was performed on histological specimens obtained by surgical resection or puncture. Genes mutation detection was conducted by the examination of the whole-exome sequencing. The whole-exome sequencing is performed by the Novogene company (www.novogene.com). If any genes mutation in the whole-exome sequencing was detected, the tumor was considered genes mutant. Otherwise, the tumor was classified as no mutant of genes type.
30 days
Image acquisition
Time Frame: 30 days
The imaging acquisition protocol was established following the Image Biomarker Standardisation Initiative (IBSI) reporting guidelines. All the details of the procedures are provided in the electronic supplementary material. 18F-FDG PET/CT (Discovery MI, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, USA) examination was performed within 1 month before treatment. Briefly, 18F-FDG PET/CT images were acquired 60 ± 5 min after 18F-FDG injection in accordance with the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) guidelines, version 1.0 (version 2.0 from February 2015). A 3D LOR reconstruction algorithm was used to reconstruct the PET images. The attenuation correction of PET images was carried out with CT data, and the corrected PET images were fused with CT images.
30 days
Radiomic feature extraction
Time Frame: 30 days
The LIFEx package (version 4.00, http://www.lifexsoft.org) was used to extract the texture features of PET/CT images of lesions in the same VOI. The PET/CT image of the patient in the DICOM format was imported into the software. Two experienced PET/CT diagnostic physicians semi-automatically delineated the region of interest of the target lesion using a threshold of 40% of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax). Then, the software program automatically calculates and extracts 47 PET radiomic features and 45 CT radiomic features.
