Trial summary

Anti-angiogenic targeted therapies are used in a wide range of solid tumors including NSCLC, breast cancer, GISTs, CRC, renal cell carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. Somatic mutations in genes related to tumorigenesis have been associated with treatment response whereas germline gene variants have been associated… Read more about this study

About this study

Anti-angiogenic targeted therapies are used in a wide range of solid tumors including NSCLC, breast cancer, GISTs, CRC, renal cell carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. Somatic mutations in genes related to tumorigenesis have been associated with treatment response whereas germline gene variants have been associated with tumor risk, prognosis and treatment related toxicity.Study objectives are:

  1. To characterise the prevalence and clinicopathological associations of germline and somatic variation in genes involved in the angiogenic pathway in healthy donors and unselected cancer patients
  2. To examine the association between angiogenic gene variants and outcome in patients receiving anti-angiogenic therapy
Read the detailed description

Angiogenesis plays a key role in the process of tumour growth and metastases. Anti-angiogenic targeted therapies are currently used in a wide range of solid tumors including lung, breast, colorectal, kidney and liver cancer. Somatic variants in genes related to tumorigenesis have been associated with treatment response, whereas germline gene variants have been associated with tumor risk, prognosis and treatment related toxicity. In this study we propose to (1) To characterise the prevalence and clinicopathological associations of germline and somatic variation in genes involved in the angiogenic pathway in healthy donors and unselected cancer patients (2) to examine the association between angiogenic gene variants and outcome in patients receiving anti-angiogenic therapy. Genes related to angiogenesis to be characterised include those encoding platelet derived growth factor receptors, vascular endothelial growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factor receptors, K-Ras, B-Raf, and c-kit. Results from this study may (1) identify patients who are more likely to respond to anti-angiogenic targeted therapy, thus maximising drug efficacy and (2) to identify further targets for potential anti-angiogenic drug therapies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Solid Tumors, run by National University Hospital, Singapore at 1 site in Singapore.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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 14 Jan 2014. 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 Singapore. 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?

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

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 14 Jan 2014.
