About this study

Official title: Predictive Markers of Response to Pemetrexed (Companion Study to RC0524)

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients receiving pemetrexed disodium may help doctors learn more about the effects of pemetrexed disodium on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at blood samples from patients with stage III or stage IV non-small cell lung cancer enrolled in clinical trial MCCRC-RC0524 to determine the effect of pemetrexed disodium on cells.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Assess the intracellular level of pemetrexed disodium (PD) polyglutamates as a measure of activity of PD transport and activation enzymes in patients with stage III or IV non-small cell lung cancer enrolled in clinical trial MCCRC-RC0524.

Secondary

  • Assess polymorphisms and gene expression of PD target genes and genes encoding enzymes involved in the transport, activation, and inactivation of PD in these patients.
  • Correlate haplotype-tagged single-nucleotide polymorphisms (htSNPs) and gene expression levels with intracellular levels of PD polyglutamates
  • Correlate htSNPs and gene expression levels with toxicity and efficacy of PD.

OUTLINE: Blood is drawn prior to and 24 hours after day 1 of course 1 of pemetrexed disodium. DNA is extracted and genotyped for known polymorphisms in genes involved in the transport, activation, inactivation, and mechanism of action or resistance of pemetrexed disodium, including reduced folate carrier-1, multiresistance proteins (particularly MRP5), folate receptor, folypolyglutamate synthase, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), methionine synthase, methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, thymidylate synthase (TS), dihydrofolate reductase, and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase. Plasma and red blood cells are also processed for an intracellular polyglutamate assay for pemetrexed disodium by a high-performance liquid chromatography-based method.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 80 patients will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Activity of pemetrexed disodium (PD) transport and activation enzymes as measured by intracellular content of PD polyglutamates

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Polymorphisms and gene expression of PD target genes (RFC-1, MRP, folate receptor, FPGS, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, methionine synthase, methylthioadenosine phosphorylase, TS, DHFR, GARFT)

  2. Polymorphisms and gene expression of genes encoding enzymes involved in the transport, activation, and inactivation of PD

  3. Correlation of haplotype-tagged single-nucleotide polymorphisms (htSNPs) and gene expression levels with intracellular levels of PD polyglutamates

  4. Correlation of htSNPs and gene expression levels with toxicity and efficacy of PD

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic 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?

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 9 Apr 2014. 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?

Activity of pemetrexed disodium (PD) transport and activation enzymes as measured by intracellular content of PD polyglutamates. 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 9 Apr 2014.
