About this study

Official title: Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) in Platinum-/Radiation Pathway Genes to Predict Outcome in Patients With Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Treated With Cisplatin-Based Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Surgical Resection

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at genes to see if they can predict outcome in patients with esophageal cancer treated with cisplatin, radiation therapy, and surgery.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Correlate patient outcomes with neoplastic cell genotypes, specifically 18 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 16 major genes involved in platinum metabolism and disposition and DNA repair, in patients with esophageal cancer treated with neoadjuvant cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection on clinical trial ECOG-1201.
  • Correlate patient outcomes with neoplastic cell genotypes, specifically loss of heterozygosity, in these patients.
  • Correlate patient outcomes with normal (germline) cell genotypes, specifically SNPs related to platinum metabolism and disposition and DNA repair.
  • Compare the predictive ability of neoplastic vs germline cell genotypes.

OUTLINE: This is a retrospective, cohort, multicenter study.

Neoplastic and normal (germline) cells are collected from pretreatment and post-treatment specimens using laser-capture microdissection. Single nucleotide polymorphisms are examined by real-time PCR. Loss of heterozygosity is assessed by analyzing short tandem repeat markers in neoplastic and germline tissue.

Being tested
loss of heterozygosity analysis, polymerase chain reaction, polymorphism analysis
Keywords
adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, stage II esophageal cancer, stage III esophageal cancer, stage IV esophageal cancer, stage I esophageal cancer
Medical subject headings
Esophageal Neoplasms, Adenocarcinoma Of Esophagus

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Esophageal 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 31 Jul 2020. 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?

Comparison of pretreatment clinical tumor staging vs post-treatment pathologic staging (at resection) (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 31 Jul 2020.
