Analysis of large-cell lung cancer and its metastasis

Integrative Analysis of Large-cell Lung Carcinoma

Shanghai 10th People's Hospital · NCT02917369

This study is trying to understand large-cell lung cancer and how it spreads by comparing normal lung tissue to cancer samples, including those that have spread to the liver.

What this trial studies

This study conducts an integrative analysis of large-cell lung cancer (LCLC) by examining the proteomes of paired normal lung tissues and LCLC samples, both with and without liver metastasis. The methodology includes sequencing transcriptomes, whole exome sequencing, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array profiling for triplets of normal lung tissue, primary LCLC carcinoma, and its matched metastasis. Additionally, the study will analyze genomic data from lung cancer previously characterized by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to perform integrated proteogenomic analyses.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients aged 75 years or younger with histologically confirmed large-cell lung cancer and a WHO performance status of 0 or 1.

Not a fit: Patients over the age of 75, those with severe major organ dysfunction, or those who have received prior cancer chemotherapy may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of LCLC and its metastasis, potentially leading to improved treatment strategies.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies utilizing integrative analyses of cancer genomics have shown promise, indicating potential for success in this approach.
