About this study

Official title: Study of Mutations of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor in the Blood of Patients With Advanced Non Small Cell Lung Cancer

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at epidermal growth factor receptor mutations in the blood of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine if epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation exists in the peripheral blood of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
  • Estimate the frequency of EGFR mutation in these patients.
  • Correlate the presence of EGFR mutation in blood with EGFR mutation in primary or metastatic NSCLC tumor block.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo blood collection for analysis of epidermal growth factor receptor mutation by DNA sequencing.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 50 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins at 1 site in Singapore.

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 15 Feb 2019. 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 Singapore. 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?

Existence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in peripheral blood (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Feb 2019.
