Alternate Title

Proteomic Profiling in Diagnosing Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Patients Who are Undergoing Lung Resection for Suspicious Stage I Lung Lesions

Basic Trial Information

PhaseTypeStatusAgeSponsorProtocol IDs
No phase specifiedDiagnosticClosed18 and overNCIACOSOG-Z4031
NCT00077324

Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine, prospectively, whether serum proteomic profiling can predict the presence of primary non-small cell lung cancer in patients with clinically suspicious stage I lung lesions who are undergoing lung resection.

Secondary

  1. Correlate the serum proteomic profile with pathologic nodal status and histopathologic features of primary lung cancer in these patients.
  2. Correlate the initial and follow-up serum proteomic profile with overall and cancer-specific survival of these patients.
  3. Correlate changes in the proteomic profile (preoperative to postoperative) with overall and cancer-specific survival of these patients.

Tertiary

  1. Determine whether novel molecular strategies can predict the presence of lung cancer and/or the biologic behavior of an individual cancer in these patients.

Expected Enrollment

1000

A total of 1,000 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Outline

Patients undergo lung resection. Patients also undergo preoperative and postoperative collection of whole blood and serum for proteomic profiling using surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. A lung tissue biopsy taken at surgery is also analyzed.

Patients are followed at 60-90 days and then annually for 2-5 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
