NCT02294578

Brief Summary

The investigators plan to recruit patients for a prospective study in patients in need of evaluation for lung lesions suspicious for cancer. Saliva samples will be collected before diagnostic evaluation including biopsy with subsequent blinded examination of the salivary markers without knowledge of the disease status. This prospective recruitment with retrospective blinded evaluation or PRoBE design satisfies the highest standards recommended by the National Cancer Institute for biomarker development. This process limits the selection bias that can confound retrospective studies. As the primary endpoint, a pre-specified multi-marker panel will be evaluated based on the combination of sensitivity and specificity. In addition, seven pre-specified individual candidate mRNA cancer markers and six internal reference or "housekeeping" genes will be evaluated. The performance of new multi-marker panels will also be assessed and compared with the prior pre-specified model based on sensitivity and specificity combinations as well as the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Performance of a pre-specified multi-marker panel (incorporating 3 of the 7 pre-specified cancer genes and the housekeeping gene)

    Multi-marker test score conmined sensitivity abd specificity

    Patients will be followed until their work up determines if they have benign pathology or lung cancer and the stage is determined. The complete analysis of biomarkers will occur at approximately 15 months after the start of enrollment.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Validation of the individual mRNA biomarkers (BRAF, CCN1, EGRF, FGF19, FRS2,GREB1 and LZTS1)

    Patients will be followed until their work up determines if they have benign pathology or lung cancer and the stage is determined. The complete analysis of biomarkers will occur at approximately 15 months after the start of enrollment.

  • Performance of new multi-marker models

    Patients will be followed until their work up determines if they have benign pathology or lung cancer and the stage is determined. The complete analysis of biomarkers will occur at approximately 15 months after the start of enrollment.

  • Performance of new candidate housekeeping genes

    Patients will be followed until their work up determines if they have benign pathology or lung cancer and the stage is determined. The complete analysis of biomarkers will occur at approximately 15 months after the start of enrollment.
