Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Informed consent is obtained; 2. newly diagnosed adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma stage IIIA, IIIB or IV or small cell lung cancer); 3. adults 18-80 years; 4. scheduled for chemotherapy as first part of the treatment: Cisplatin/Gemcitabine (NSCLC) and Cisplatin/Etoposide (SCLC).
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Previous chemotherapy; 2. unable to evaluate response with the RECIST criteria; 3. unable to follow the instructions for the eNose measurement.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective is to investigate whether the eNose can discriminate the smellprints obtained before and after 1 cycle of chemotherapy in patients with specific histological types of lung cancer (NSCLC: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and SCLC). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary objectives are: 1. To investigate whether the eNose can discriminate between the baseline smellprints of patients with different histological types of lung cancer (NSCLC: adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and SCLC); 2. To investigate whether the pre-chemotherapy smellprint is related to: a. the stage of the disease according to the stage grouping of the Mountain classification (NSCLC) [21] or division into LD or ED (SCLC) [2]; b. metabolic activity of the disease as assessed by Standard Uptake Value (SUV) on PET-CT scan; 3. To investigate whether the potential change in smellprint after 1 cycle of chemotherapy is related to tumour response (determined after the second cycle of chemotherapy) according to the RECIST criteria. | — |
