Trial Information

Molecular and Diagnostic Classification of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer From Fine Needle Aspirates


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients undergoing a diagnostic FNA by the following diagnostic modalities utilizing
FNA: Trans-thoracic Needle Biopsy (TNB), Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided
Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), Trans-esophageal Ultrasound Scanning
with FNA (EUS-FNA).

- Patients must have radiographic evidence for presumed lung cancer or have a
previously diagnosed NSCLC with potential recurrence. Patient undergoing FNA of
potential NSCLC metastatic lesions are also included (e.g., patients with hepatic
metastases).

- Age >18 years. Used to define adult age who can independently provide consent.

- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
document.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients whose FNA biopsy is unable to provide subtype classification by pathology
or is non-diagnostic.

Type of Study:

Observational

Study Design:

Observational Model: Case-Only, Time Perspective: Prospective

Outcome Measure:

Use of Ribonucleic acid-based molecular signature of tumor samples obtained by fine needle aspirate to discriminate subtypes of tumors relevant to treatment and outcomes.

Outcome Description:

To test a an 8-gene panel's accuracy in discriminating Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer tumors subtypes that are relevant to treatment and expected outcomes.

Outcome Time Frame:

Day 1

Safety Issue:

No
