A Preliminary Study on the Detection of Plasma Markers in Early Diagnosis for Lung Cancer

September 21, 2020 updated by: Jun Wang, Peking University People's Hospital

Plasma Biomarkers as a Non-invasive Approach for Early Diagnosis of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the most common cancer with the highest morbidity and mortality in the world. Stagement is closely related to the 5 years of survival rate of patients. The postoperative 5-year survival rate is above 90% for stage ⅠA lung cancer patients, while the 5-year survival rate of stage IV lung cancer patients is less than 5%. Therefore, early screening and diagnosis for lung cancer is a key method to reduce lung cancer mortality and prolong survival for patients.

At present, low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is the most effective method for early detection of lung cancer. In addition to imaging examination, plasma tumor markers detection is also a common clinical detection method for tumor screening and postoperative monitoring.

Liquid biopsy is a non-invasive or minimally invasive method for testing blood or other liquid samples to analyze tumor-related markers including nucleic acids and proteins. Several studies have explored the detection of hot spot gene mutations, methylation and methylation changes of DNA, protein markers and autoantibodies in peripheral blood in lung cancer patients. Liquid biopsy has generally become the most popular field for early diagnosis of lung cancer.

Based above, it is necessary to combine multi-omics methods to improve the detection of early stage lung cancer. In our study, we intend to integrate molecular features obtained through liquid biopsy and clinical data of lung cancer patients, and develop and prospectively validate a machine-learning method which can robustly discriminate early-stage lung cancer patients from controls.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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.

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

20 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

500 cases will be enrolled including 100 cases of benign pulmonary nodules, 300 cases of stage I and II lung cancer, 100 cases of stage III lung cancer. All enrolled patients are newly diagnosed as pulmonary nodules by imaging, benign and malignant conditions of the nodules are determined by postoperative pathology after surgical resection. All clinacal data including cancer stage information are available.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Enrolled patients are newly diagnosed patients
  • In patients diagnosed as pulmonary nodules by imaging, benign and malignant conditions of the nodules are determined by postoperative pathology after surgical resection
  • There is clear cancer stage information
  • In addition to pulmonary nodules, there are no suspicious nodules of other organs
  • No previous history of malignant tumor

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with a history of malignant tumor
  • Patients with suspectednodules in other parts of the body at the time of diagnosis
  • Patients who have previously received surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy for pulmonary lesions
  • Patients with severe blood lipid in peripheral blood extracted which affects subsequent 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
Rates of malignant and benign pulmonary nodules measured by the postoperative pathology
Time Frame: 5 days after the surgery
After the sugery of each patients with pulmonary nodules, we will get the clinicopathologic characteristics of the patients. Tumor stage and grade will be evaluated by us and rates of malignant and benign pulmonary nodules will be the primary outcome which we follow.
5 days after the surgery

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
