About this study

Official title: Evaluation of HER2 Mutations in Patient Tumors From E2598

RATIONALE: Collecting samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at HER-2 mutations in tumor samples from patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer being treated with trastuzumab on clinical trial ECOG-2598.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Correlate clinical response to trastuzumab (Herceptin®) with the presence of mutation in the HER-2 kinase domain in tumor samples from patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated on protocol ECOG-2598.
  • Correlate mutations with time to progression and survival of these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Tissue specimens are analyzed by polymerase chain reaction to assess mutations in the HER-2 gene. Laboratory/biomarker analysis data is correlated with clinical data from protocol ECOG-2598.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 22-44 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group.

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 17 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Correlation of HER-2 mutation with response, time to progression, and survival. 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 May 2017.
