Fluid Biopsy for the Diagnosis of Lung Cancer

Recruiting
Conditions
Lung Carcinoma
Interventions
Procedure: Biospecimen Collection
Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
Procedure: Liquid Biopsy
Other: Medical Chart Review
Registration Number
NCT04162678
Lead Sponsor
University of Southern California
Brief Summary

This trial collects and studies blood samples via fluid biopsy for the diagnosis of lung cancer. Studying blood samples in the laboratory may help doctors develop a blood test for lung cancer in the future and provide a better way to screen patients for lung cancer.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of the fluid biopsy in establishing a diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the accuracy of determination of the histologic subtype of bronchogenic lung cancer.

II. To determine the relative contribution of cell based high definition circulating tumor cell assay (HD-CTC) and imaging mass cytometry (IMC) and plasma based circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) assays in determination of diagnosis and histologic subtype.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo collection of blood samples on day 1 for analysis via high definition (HD)-single cell analysis (SCA) fluid biopsy. Medical charts of patients are reviewed at 3 months post-biopsy or computed tomography (CT) screening.

After completion of study, patients are followed for up to 1 year.
