Trial summary

the principal research objective is to form a database of tissue samples from patients with colorectal (bowel) cancer. The tissue samples that will be used for this research will have already been taken for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons. We will also be asking for consent for a research blood sample.

About this study

the principal research objective is to form a database of tissue samples from patients with colorectal (bowel) cancer. The tissue samples that will be used for this research will have already been taken for diagnostic or therapeutic reasons. We will also be asking for consent for a research blood sample. The database will be used to improve our understanding of the molecular genetics and gene expression patterns in colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

All patients at the Royal Marsden with a diagnosis of colorectal cancer will be eligible to enter this study. This will include patients both with early and advanced disease, provided they give informed consent. They will give written consent to participate, to include consent for analysis of existing tumour tissue and consent for collection of demographic and clinicopathological data relating to their case and its future outcome, and consent for a blood sample to be taken for research purposes. Additionally, old samples of material surplus to clinical requirements may be collected without specific consent if there is no possibility that it would affect the patient's interest (eg the patient has died).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the primary endpoint is the identification of cases with evidence of loss of the product of one of the four main MMR genes on tumour histology.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary outcome measure is the survival and response to treatment of the identified cases.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust 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?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 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 17 Sep 2019. 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?

Contact David Cunningham (020 8661 3156, davidpasutton.cunningham@rmh.nhs.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the primary endpoint is the identification of cases with evidence of loss of the product of one of the four main MMR genes on tumour histology.. 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 17 Sep 2019.
