About this study

Official title: Optimizing EGFR Inhibitor-Based Therapies for GBM

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at tissue samples from patients with glioblastoma multiforme to identify biomarkers that may improve the selection of patients for epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor therapies.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Identify molecular characteristics that predict for overall survival and progression-free survival of patients treated with erlotinib hydrochloride, temozolomide, and radiotherapy on clinical trial NCCTG-N0177.

Secondary

  • Identify molecular characteristics that predict for overall survival and progression-free survival of patients treated with gefitinib after radiotherapy on clinical trial NCCTG-N0074.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Tissue samples from patients enrolled on clinical trials NCCTG-N0177 or NCCTG-N0074 are analyzed by microarray analysis and immunohistochemistry for biological markers predicting progression-free survival and overall survival. Biological markers include epidermal growth factor expression, vIII mutant p53 gene, P-AKT, p7056k, S6, 4EBP1, STAT-3, PLC-g, Erk, ErbB2, ErbB3, ErbB4, platelet-derived growth factor receptor, IGF1R, interleukin-6, FADD, and MGMT.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 120 patients will be accrued for this study.

Being tested
gene expression analysis, microarray analysis, protein expression analysis, diagnostic laboratory biomarker analysis, immunohistochemistry staining method
Keywords
adult giant cell glioblastoma, adult gliosarcoma, adult glioblastoma

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 10 sites 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?

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 24 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites 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?

Molecular characteristics that predict for overall survival and progression-free survival (time frame: Up to 24 months). 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 24 Jan 2018.
