Trial summary

Background: Research has shown that the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene is an important target for personalized lung cancer treatment. Individuals who have mutations in the EGFR gene have better responses when treated with certain personalized or targeted therapies compared with conventional chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Frequency of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutations in Latinos/Hispanics With Non-Small Lung Cancer

Background:

  • Research has shown that the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene is an important target for personalized lung cancer treatment. Individuals who have mutations in the EGFR gene have better responses when treated with certain personalized or targeted therapies compared with conventional chemotherapy. These mutations are more frequent in females with lung cancer who have never smoked, and different ethnic groups have different levels of frequency of the mutations. Researchers are interested in collecting more information on EGFR genetic mutations in Hispanics/Latinos with lung cancer, comparing the frequency of these mutations in males and females and smokers and nonsmokers. This study may lead to better, more personalized care approaches for all individuals with lung cancer.

Objectives:

  • To study the frequency of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor mutations in Hispanic/Latino individuals who have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer.

Eligibility:

  • Hispanic or Latino individuals who have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer and who have lung tissue from a previous biopsy or surgery available for research purposes.

Design:

  • Participants will provide consent for researchers to examine lung tissue collected from a previous biopsy or surgery.
  • Treatment will not be provided as part of this protocol.
Read the detailed description

Background:

  • There is a growing body of evidence that points to genetic heterogeneity of the EGFR pathway in non-small cell lung cancer among different ethnic groups and that underscores the need for consideration of these differences in patient management and in the design of future trials of agents that target the EGFR pathway.
  • Activating mutations in EGFR have been found in about 15% of NSCLC patients from North America and Europe, 40% of Asian and 2% in African-Americans.
  • However, there is no data on the frequency of EGFR mutations in U.S. Hispanic and Latin American patients with NSCLC.

Primary Protocol Objectives:

  • To determine the frequency of EGFR mutations in Hispanic/Latinos with non-small cell lung cancer according to gender and smoking status.
  • To study the association between the frequency of EGFR mutations and the percentage of American Indian ancestry, as defined by genetic ancestry analysis, in Hispanic/Latinos with non-small cell lung cancer.

Secondary Protocol Objectives:

-To evaluate the association between EGFR mutations and other clinical variables such as wood smoke exposure, age, stage at presentation, nationality and response to EGFR TKIs.

Eligibility:

  • Hispanic or Latino patients with histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer.
  • Tissue samples from Hispanic or Latino individuals with histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer

Design:

  • Paraffin embedded tumor samples from Latino patients with non-small cell lung cancer will be collected at the NIH s clinical center and the participating institutions.
  • Samples and clinical data will then be sent to the molecular pathology laboratory for EGFR mutation analyses. The remainder DNA will then used for genetic ancestry analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of EGFR mutations in Hispanic/Latinos with nonsmall cell lung cancer according to gender and smoking status

    Measured: At tissue and data acquisition upon enrollment

  2. Association between the frequency of EGFR mutations and the percentage of American Indian ancestry, as defined by genetic ancestry analysis, in Hispanic/Latinos with non-small cell lung cancer

    Measured: At tissue and data acquisition upon enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 12 sites in 5 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. 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 21 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, Mexico, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela. 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?

Frequency of EGFR mutations in Hispanic/Latinos with nonsmall cell lung cancer according to gender and smoking status (time frame: At tissue and data acquisition upon enrollment). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01255150, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 21 Nov 2019.
