About this study

Official title: BRAF, KRAS and EGFR Mutation Detection in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated With Sorafenib Monotherapy

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

PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in blood samples from patients with refractory non-small cell lung cancer previously treated with sorafenib tosylate.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the mutation rates of BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR in patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with sorafenib tosylate on protocol ECOG-2501.
  • To determine the association between BRAF, KRAS, or EGFR mutation status and clinical benefits in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

DNA is isolated from archived plasma samples and analyzed for BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR mutations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mutation rate of sorafenib tosylate-target gene BRAF, and its upstream proteins KRAS and EGFR

    Measured: 1 mont

  2. Association between BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR mutation status and clinical benefits (stable disease or partial response)

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung 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 17 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?

Mutation rate of sorafenib tosylate-target gene BRAF, and its upstream proteins KRAS and EGFR (time frame: 1 mont). The study lists 2 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 17 May 2017.
