Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the study is to investigate the evolution ofn 18F-deoxyglucose (FDG) uptake and the tumour characteristics determined in the plasma of patients with lung cancer of during and after concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy


Clinical Trial Description

This translational research part is aiming to give more insights in the way radiation injury and tumour response develops.

It involves three parts:

1. Repetitive FDG-PET-CT scans in order to assess early tumour response monitoring.

2. Blood sampling before, during and after radiotherapy in order to find predictors for normal tissue injury and for tumour response.

3. Extra staining of tumour biopsies

The FDG-PET-CT scan with i.v. contrast gives information of the tumour metabolism and its morphology. Therefore, one extra FDG-PET-CT scans will be done during radiotherapy at day 8. Tumour response will be determined by FDG-PET-CT scans 3 months after radiotherapy.

Blood samples

1. Before radiotherapy, 12 millilitres of blood (EDTA tubes) will be taken according to serum protocol (appendix 5).

2. At day 7, day 14 during concurrent chemo-radiation, 7 days after the end of this treatment and 3 months and 9 months after the end of radiotherapy, 12 millilitres serum (EDTA tube) will be taken to investigate the evolution of the proteins [In the first place, plasma concentrations of osteopontin and soluble CA9 for hypoxia, CRP and IL-6 for inflammation, total and free VEGF for angiogenesis and total and cleaved cytokeratin 18 for necrosis/apoptosis will be determined] during and after treatment, for its kinetics may be important as predictive factors. Standard ELISA tests will be used to determine these levels.

3. Before radiotherapy, at day 7 and at day 14 during radiation, 7 days after the end of this treatment and 3 months and 9 months after the end of radiotherapy, 24 millilitres of blood (EDTA tubes) will be taken to investigate the evolution of circulating cells and their progenitors during and after treatment.

The tumour biopsies may be stained with markers for proliferation (e.g. KI 67), apoptosis (e.g. M30), hypoxia (e.g. CA 9, Glut 1 and 3) and others (e.g. EGFR and EGFRvIII), in order to correlate these measurements with response. ;
