A database for lung cancer samples and clinical data

A Clinico-biological Database of Lung Cancers

University Hospital, Lille · NCT03387865

This study is collecting blood, tumor, and stool samples from newly diagnosed lung cancer patients to see how these samples relate to their response to standard treatments.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a biological bank of samples from lung cancer patients, including blood, optional tumor tissue, and fecal samples. Samples are collected before treatment begins, during the first tumor assessment, and at the time of disease progression. Clinical data is gathered alongside these samples to identify factors associated with tumor response to standard of care treatments. The study focuses on patients with newly diagnosed lung cancer who are about to start their first line of treatment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults over 18 with a new diagnosis of lung cancer who are about to begin first-line treatment.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of prior antineoplastic treatments or contraindications to such treatments may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of lung cancer responses to treatment, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have successfully utilized biological banking to correlate clinical outcomes with tumor biology, suggesting this approach is promising.
