About this study

Official title: The Clinical and Pathological Significance of Allelic Imbalance of 8p in Patients With Colorectal Cancer

RATIONALE: Genetic studies may help in understanding the genetic processes that cause some types of cancer.

PURPOSE: Genetic trial to study certain genes of patients who have stage II or stage III colon cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the adverse prognostic significance of 8p allelic imbalance (AI) in patients with colon cancer.
  • Determine if patient prognosis is dependent on the region of 8p AI.
  • Perform fine mapping studies to further localize the putative tumor suppressor gene(s) on 8p.
  • Perform multicolor FISH to examine the role that 8p loss and 8q gain play in the prognosis of patients whose tumors exhibit 8p AI.

OUTLINE: Matched normal and tumor DNA is analyzed for 8p allelic imbalance with at least 8 markers: D8S262 and D8S1825 localized to 8p23, D8S254 and D8S261 at 8p22, D8S560 and D8S136 at 8p21, and D8S1820 and D8S283 at 8p12. Normal/tumor tissue pairs are used for fine mapping studies.

DNA stability analysis, gene mapping

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 59 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 59 sites in Canada, United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

overall survival (time frame: Up to 10 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jul 2016.
