Adjuvant Lung Cancer Enrichment Marker Identification and Sequencing Trial (ALCHEMIST)

Study on Genetic Testing for Lung Cancer Patients After Surgery

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates genetic testing in patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has been or will be removed by surgery. Non-small cell lung cancer is a type of lung cancer that grows and spreads more slowly than small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to test the removed cancer tissue for genetic mutations. This helps in enrolling patients in further studies that look at additional treatments after surgery.

Participants will have their tumor tissue and blood samples collected. The study will include detailed follow-up to gather information about their health and treatment outcomes. This information will be used for advanced genetic analysis in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute.

  • Who can participate: Adults with stage IB (4 cm or larger), II, or IIIA non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer can participate. They must have a performance status of 0-1 according to the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale.
  • Study details: Participants will provide tumor tissue and blood samples for genetic testing. This testing identifies mutations that could guide further treatment. No medication or placebo is involved in this trial. A placebo is an inactive substance that looks like the investigational medicine/vaccine but does not contain any medicine.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
