P2.13-011 - Optimal Selection Criteria for LDCT Lung Cancer Screening (ID 9628)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): J. Dickson
- Abstract
Background:
Lung cancer screening programs with low dose computed tomography (LDCT) could be economically viable if they targeted high-risk people. The optimal selection criteria have not been defined in prospective clinical trials. The goal of this prospective study is to test the hypothesis that lung cancer screening based on a highly predictive risk model: The Prostate, Lung, Colon, Ovarian (PLCO~m2012~) is superior to applying National Lung Screening Trial (NLST)-like criteria.
Method:
Participants were enrolled through three screening studies, two in Canada (Vancouver and Alberta) and one in London, UK. Eligibility included a PLCOm2012 6-year lung cancer risk ≥1.5% or NLST-like criteria (≥30 pack-years smoking history and quit ≤15 years with some variation in age limits – 55 to 80 years in BC, 55 to 74 in Alberta and 60 to 75 in UCL). The proportion of participants who have been found to have lung cancer or high risk lung nodules, requiring repeat imaging studies or biopsy prior to the next scheduled annual screening were compared between the two selection methods.
Result:
The demographics of participants are shown in Table 1. To date, 1,533 received a LDCT, of these, 341 met the PLCOm2012 criteria alone, 169 met NLST-like criteria and 1023 met both criteria. Twenty-seven participants have been found to have lung cancers. All 27 met the PLCOm2012 selection criteria alone while 62% met NLST- like criteria. No lung cancer was found in participants who met NLST-like criteria alone. There are 129 participants with suspicious lung nodules under close surveillance or scheduled for biopsy. Among these, 97% met the PLCOm2012 criteria and 74% met NLST-like criteria.Table 1. Clinical and Demographic Features of Study Cohorts

Conclusion:
Our preliminary results show that fewer people are eligible for screening using NLST-like criteria compare to a highly predictive risk model such as PLCOm2012. Thirty-seven percent more participants with lung cancer are identified by PLCOm2012.

P3.05-001 - Breath Analysis for Early Detection of Lung Cancer: The LuCID Study (ID 10067)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): J. Dickson
- Abstract
Background:
There is an urgent need for methods to detect lung cancer earlier. If detected early, over half of lung cancer patients could be cured with existing treatments. Therefore, our greatest opportunity lies in increasing rates of early diagnosis through improved cancer screening. Exhaled breath contains over 1,000 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are the products of metabolic activity, hence they directly reflect the current state of cells and represent a valuable source of information about the health of an individual. As the earliest stages of tumour development are characterized by profound changes in cellular metabolic activity, VOCs are potential non-invasive biomarkers for early detection of lung cancer. The LuCID study aims to collect breath samples and evaluate VOCs in exhaled breath as non-invasive biomarkers for early detection of lung cancer.
Method:
LuCID is an international multi-centre prospective case-control cohort study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT02612532) currently in progress, evaluating breath VOCs in patients with a clinical suspicion of lung cancer. A clinical suspicion is based on symptoms and/or suspicious finding on incidental imaging. Using tidal breathing, patients breathe into the ReCIVA Breath Sampler for 7 minutes to collect alveolar- and bronchial-enriched breath fractions on stable sorbent tubes for later analysis by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry (FAIMS, Owlstone Medical Ltd). A classification algorithm will be constructed from chemical spectral data, and undergo internal and external blinded validation to provide a ROC-curve detailing diagnostic accuracy. The LuCID study has an adaptive trial design, recruiting up to 2,600 patients depending on interim results.
Result:
The LuCID study has recruited 980 patients to date from 20 centres (mean age 67.5, SD 12.0). Of patients with completed follow-up (n=802), 33% have histologically confirmed lung cancer (of those with lung cancer: 40% early stage 1a-2b, 60% advanced stage 3a-4). Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) comprised 87% of these cancers, and Small Cell Lung Cancer 9%. NSCLC were further categorized as adenocarcinoma (50%), squamous cell carcinoma (38%), with the remaining 12% belonging to other categories.
Conclusion:
The LuCID study is evaluating the analysis of exhaled VOC biomarkers as a new diagnostic modality for early detection of lung cancer. Successful completion of the LuCID study will pave the way for the development of a non-invasive, easy-to-implement test that could markedly improve screening and early detection rates, reducing lung cancer morbidity and mortality.
