Study summary

The purpose of the study is to collect human biological samples and measurements from people of various ethnic and racial backgrounds for projects related to the "Mechanisms of Ethnic/Racial Differences in Lung Cancer Due to Cigarette Smoking" Program Project Grant. These samples will be used to evaluate and compare biomarkers of tobacco exposure across Japanese Americans, Whites, and Native Hawaiians and to add to the Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) biorepository to develop or assess future biomarkers.

Read the detailed description

This cross-sectional, observational study will primarily recruit smokers from the MEC study. The biological samples from these smokers are being collected since they do not currently exist in the biorepository (e.g. buccal cells). Potential smokers from the three racial groups who meet specific inclusion criteria will be invited to participate in the study. Should recruitment from the MEC sample be insufficient, smokers who meet the criteria will be recruited from the general population. This study will involve one to two home visits where tobacco use and medical history and biological samples will be collected including blood, buccal cells and urine.

Approximately 300 smokers will be recruited from the Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) study or the general population in Hawai'i. 100 participants from each of the three designated ethnic/racial groups: Native Hawaiians, Japanese Americans and Non-Hispanic Whites. All participants will be recruited from Hawai'i to reduce variation due to geographical location and maximize ability to recruit the targeted ethnic/racial groups.

This study will involve one to two home visits where demographics, tobacco use and exposure history, medical history and medication use, questionnaires assessing tobacco dependence, alcohol use, and environmental exposures will be administered. and biological samples will be collected including blood, buccal cells and urine.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Project 3: Analysis of 1,3-butadiene DNA adducts

    Ethnic differences in butadiene-DNA adducts across racial groups to determine the relationship of DNA adducts to lung cancer and the influence of carcinogen metabolizing genes on DNA adduct formation, repair, and toxicity/mutagenicity.

    Time frame: Baseline

  2. Project 4: Correlation of DNA adducts of buccal cells and urinary markers and lung cancer risk

    DNA adduct levels in oral cells, themselves or together with urinary biomarker levels, correlate with lung cancer risk across various ethnic/racial groups

    Time frame: Baseline

  3. Project 2: NNK α-hydroxylation

    Analysis of biomarkers of NNK α-hydroxylation (bioactivation) pathway and the effect of P450 2A6 activity on this process.

    Time frame: Baseline

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — Intend to share findings from this research through publications and presentations. Institutions and individuals wishing to access any resources or data must contact the Principal Investigator (Hatsukami). Data will be available in two formats. One will be a summary of the data, with graphs and tables, posted as pdf files and as raw individual-level data for analysis. Data generated by this grant will be made to outside investigators, according to NIH Guidance. When data are shared, there will be no limits placed on how the data will be used, and co-authorship is not required as a condition for receiving data. Users will agree, however, that the recipient must not transfer the data to other users and that the data are only to be used for research purposes. A record of transfer of data and a copy of the dataset that was distributed will be kept by University of Minnesota.

Supporting information: Study protocol

Time frame: Data will not be available until primary papers are accepted for publication.

Access criteria: Persons requesting data must do so in writing, identifying the affiliation and how the data will be used.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 24, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
