About this study

Official title: Molecular Fingerprints in Lung Cancer: Predicting Tumor Response to Therapy

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue and blood in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in genetic material (DNA and RNA) and may also identify protein expression patterns related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study evaluates changes in DNA, RNA, and proteins with the goal of predicting response to treatment in patients with lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine protein and/or RNA expression patterns capable of predicting tumor response to therapy in tumor tissue samples from patients with lung cancer or suspected of having lung cancer.
  • To characterize the genes and proteins found to be predictive of response in order to help elucidate the molecular biology underlying cancer chemosensitivity.
  • To evaluate DNA mutations found within the lung cancer sample which may be predictive of response or resistance to certain therapeutic agents.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo collection of tumor tissue by percutaneous fine needle aspiration, core biopsy, thoracentesis, or during any medically indicated procedure involving removal of lung cancer tissue. Tissue samples are analyzed by a variety of techniques, including DNA sequencing, RNA sequencing and expression levels, protein assessment [by immunohistochemistry, western blot, Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS]). The goal of these studies is to identify of gene mutations, gene expression levels, and proteins predictive of treatment response. Blood samples are also collected to obtain normal DNA for analysis.

After completion of study, patients will be followed until their death.

What is being measured

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

  1. DNA, RNA, and Protein expression patterns and mutational analysis

    DNA, RNA, and Protein expression patterns and mutation status in lung tumor tissue that are capable of predicting tumor response to therapy

    Measured: After lung tumor tissue and blood collection.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Characterization of genes and proteins predictive of response to therapy

    Identify genes and proteins predictive of response to therapy and that can be used to identify novel mechanisms underlying lung cancer behavior

    Measured: After lung tumor tissue and blood collection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 2017. 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?

DNA, RNA, and Protein expression patterns and mutational analysis (time frame: After lung tumor tissue and blood collection.). 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 19 Jul 2017.
