About this study

Official title: Resource for the Study of Lung Cancer Epidemiology in North Trent

RATIONALE: Gathering information about genetic and environmental factors from patients with lung cancer and their partners and first-degree relatives may help doctors learn more about the disease.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is looking at the patterns, causes, and control of disease in patients with lung cancer in the North Trent (England) region.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To establish a resource bank of high quality genomic and plasma DNA and tumor and serum samples linked to clinical data obtained from detailed family history and lifestyle questionnaires from patients with lung cancer and from their partners and first-degree relatives for genetic epidemiology studies of lung cancer.

Secondary

  • To study single nucleotide polymorphisms for candidate lung cancer susceptibility genes in genomic DNA samples from patients with lung cancer and from their partners and first-degree relatives.
  • To study genetic changes of lung cancer in plasma DNA samples from patients with lung cancer and from their partners and first-degree relatives.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients and their partners complete a detailed, interview-based questionnaire to assess their environmental risk factors for cancer. Information on past medical, social, occupational, and smoking history as well as family history, including any malignancies diagnosed and subsequent causes of death, is collected. First-degree relatives of patients complete an interview-based questionnaire about smoking, occupational, and cancer history. Relatives of patients' partners complete a telephone-administered questionnaire only.

Medical records of patients are reviewed to obtain information on pathological diagnosis and laboratory number, date of diagnosis, stage of disease, performance status, co-morbidities, and treatment plan. Medical records of partners may also be reviewed to obtain information on the incidence of smoking-related malignancies (i.e., cancer of the lung, larynx, esophagus, stomach, bladder, or head and neck).

Patients and their partners and first-degree relatives undergo blood sample collection for laboratory studies. Previously collected tumor samples are obtained from patients. Plasma DNA, lymphocyte DNA, and tumor DNA are analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify loss of heterozygosity (LOH) between genomic (lymphocyte) DNA and the tumor and plasma DNA. Specific tumor-associated mutations are also analyzed by real-time PCR. Single nucleotide polymorphism studies, including common gene polymorphisms (metabolic genes, DNA repair genes, and tumor suppressor genes), in lung cancer families are also conducted.

A statistical model will be developed for future analysis and will include correlations in genetic alterations in DNA isolated from tumor and plasma, familial aggregation studies, and genetic analysis studies.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 2,000 participants (500 patients and 1,500 partners and first-degree relatives [controls]) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Cancer Research Centre at Weston Park Hospital at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Aug 2013. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Establishment of a resource bank of high quality genomic and plasma DNA and tumor and serum samples. 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 12 Aug 2013.
