Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The laboratory will apply technologies for protein analysis to the detection and identification of proteins secreted by tumor cells and protein antigens that induce a humoral response in tumors. The initial targeted tumor types for the identification of potential biomarker proteins are: Colon, esophagus, ovary, lung, breast and liver

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Meets 1 of the following criteria (patient):
  • Scheduled to undergo primary surgical resection or first debulking surgery (prior to any anticancer treatment) for suspected or newly diagnosed cancer, including any of the following types:
  • Breast cancer
  • Adenocarcinoma of the colon
  • Adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus
  • Non-small cell lung cancer
  • Ovarian epithelial adenocarcinoma
  • Metastatic or unresectable cancer, including any of the following types:
  • Breast cancer
  • Adenocarcinoma of the colon
  • Adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus
  • Hepatoma
  • Non-small cell lung cancer
  • Small cell lung cancer
  • Ovarian epithelial adenocarcinoma
  • Adenocarcinoma of the pancreas
  • Meets the following criteria (healthy participant):
  • No chronic disease
  • Healthy participants with a history of cancer must be cancer-free for 5 years (skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix within the past 5 years allowed)
  • Willing to provide 60 mL of blood
  • Not a blood relative of an eligible and consenting cancer patient

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Able to tolerate the removal of 30-60 mL of blood
  • No feelings of light-headedness, dizziness, or fainting within the past 2 weeks
  • Pulse less than 100 on day of blood draw for study enrollment

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • At least 3 weeks since prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for metastatic or unresectable cancer
  • No concurrent chemotherapy
  • No concurrent radiotherapy

About this study

Official title: Proteomics Biomarker Development Laboratory (Aka IRB 1999-514)

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tumor tissue in the laboratory from patients with cancer and blood from healthy participants 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 cancer-related protein biomarkers in the blood and tumor tissue of patients with cancer and in the blood of healthy participants.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Identify tumor antigens that induce a humoral response in patients with cancer.
  • Identify tumor-secreted proteins by special analysis in culture, and evaluate their expression patterns in tumors and preneoplastic lesions to further assess their potential specificity.
  • Determine serum positivity and specificity of potential markers for early detection of cancer.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients and healthy participants undergo blood collection. Patients with suspected or newly diagnosed disease undergo a second blood collection between 4-10 weeks after surgery (but before any additional cytotoxic therapy or radiotherapy) provided they had a surgical resection with negative margin. All patients are asked questions about family history of cancer, the development of their cancer, other medical history, past and present smoking history, and menstrual period for females.

DNA is extracted from the blood and from patient tumor tissue samples obtained during surgery. Immunohistochemistry (including polymerase chain reaction) and in situ hybridization are used to analyze protein expression patterns, after proteins are identified by mass spectrometry and amino acid sequencing.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3,150 patients and 1,200 healthy participants will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Colorectal Cancer, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center.

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 7 Feb 2012. 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?

Identification of tumor antigens that induce a humoral response in cancer patients. The study lists 4 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 7 Feb 2012.
