Trial summary

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood, urine, and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients respond to treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Association Between DNA Methylation and Shortened Survival in Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer Treated With 5-FU/Oxaliplatin-Based Regimens in E3200

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood, urine, and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is analyzing the DNA in tissue samples from patients with advanced colorectal cancer treated with fluorouracil and oxaliplatin with or without bevacizumab on clinical trial E-3200.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the CpG island methylation pathway markers that are adverse for survival after treatment with fluorouracil in patients with advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma treated with fluorouracil and oxaliplatin with or without bevacizumab on clinical trial E-3200.
  • Compare the methylation results to clinicopathologic and molecular findings and survival.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Tissue, blood, and urine samples and genomic DNA samples from tumor tissue blocks are examined by pyrosequencing assay for methylation. Genes examined include MINT1, MINT31, P14, and P16. Microsatellite instability and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 18 (18q LOH) are also assessed. Microsatellites examined include BAT loci, TGFβRII, D2S123, D55346, and D17S250.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 350 specimens will be accrued for this study.

Being tested
DNA methylation analysis, loss of heterozygosity analysis, microsatellite instability analysis, laboratory biomarker analysis
Keywords
recurrent colon cancer, recurrent rectal cancer, stage III colon cancer, stage III rectal cancer, stage IV colon cancer, stage IV rectal cancer, adenocarcinoma of the colon, adenocarcinoma of the rectum
Medical subject headings
Colorectal Neoplasms, Colonic Neoplasms, Rectal Neoplasms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal 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 19 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 MSI and LOH to outcome and response (time frame: 1 month). 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 May 2017.
