DECAMP 1 PLUS: Prediction of Lung Cancer Using Noninvasive Biomarkers
United States85 participantsStarted 2020-08-24
Plain-language summary
DECAMP 1 PLUS aims to improve the efficiency of the diagnostic evaluation of patients with indeterminate pulmonary nodules (8-25 mm). Molecular biomarkers for lung cancer diagnosis measured in minimally invasive and non-invasive biospecimens may be able to distinguish between malignant or benign indeterminate pulmonary nodules in high-risk smokers. Ultimately, this study aims to validate molecular as well as clinical and imaging biomarkers of lung cancer in individuals with indeterminate lung nodules.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Radiologic diagnosis of solid indeterminate pulmonary nodule (0.8 to 2.5 cm) identified in the past 3 months OR semi-solid (mixed density) nodule with solid component of at least 0.6 cm identified in the past 12 months; must be of appropriate size at enrollment.
* CT scan completed within 3 months prior to enrollment
* Able to tolerate all biospecimen collection as required by protocol
* Able to comply with standard of care follow up visits including clinical exams, diagnostic work-ups, and imaging for approximately three years from enrollment
* Able to complete the Patient Lung History questionnaire with study staff
Arm 1 - Screening
* Age 55-77 years old
* Current and former smokers with 30 pack-years or more(and quit less than 15 years ago)
Arm 2 - Incidental
* Age \> 45 years old
* Current and former smokers with 10 pack-years or more(and quit less than 15 years ago)
Exclusion Criteria:
* History or previous diagnosis of primary lung cancer, metastatic lung cancer, or any other non-lung cancer within 5 years (not including non-melanoma skin cancer)
* Symptoms of lung cancer (unexplained weight loss 10 lbs or more in 3 months, recent hemoptysis)
* Diagnosis of pure ground glass opacities for the target lesion on chest CT within the last 12 months (i.e., mixed features on the target lesion and pure ground glass opacity on non-target lesions are acceptable as mentioned above)
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
