About this study

Official title: A Study to Assess HER2-Specific T Cell Responses in Patients Receiving Trastuzumab for Solid Tumor Treatment

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment. It may also help the study of cancer in the future.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at blood samples from patients receiving trastuzumab and/or chemotherapy for HER2-positive solid tumors to assess T-cell response.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Assess T-cell activation in blood samples of patients receiving trastuzumab (Herceptin®) and/or chemotherapy for HER2-positive solid tumors.

OUTLINE: Blood samples are collected from patients at baseline and on days 21, 42, and 84 of trastuzumab (Herceptin®)/chemotherapy. Patients may be contacted 3-6 months after completion of trastuzumab/chemotherapy to donate another blood specimen.

Blood samples are examined for T-cell proliferation and intracellular cytokine production. CD8 T-cell response, HER2/neu-specific antibody titers, and skin hypersensitivity test responses are also measured.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing trastuzumab in people with Breast Cancer and Lung Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in 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?

T-cell activation in blood samples (time frame: 3 months). 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 4 Oct 2012.
