Trial summary

The primary objective of this specimen correlative study is two-fold: to provide a mechanism for the association of known molecular alterations with clinical outcomes, and to provide rapid genetic profiling of alterations with known clinical utility using tumor and germline specimens to support treatment decisions.

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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Current or prospective cancer patients; current cancer patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of cancer
  • Tumor tissue available and suitable for molecular analyses from at least one of the following sources:
  • Tissue previously stored in UNC's Tissue Procurement Facility (TPF)
  • Tissue previous stored at an institution other than UNC-CH, provided investigators can determine that the tumors were sampled and stored under appropriate conditions for inclusion in the study
  • Patient undergoing tissue collection as per clinical standard of care and willing to allow specimens from surplus tissue to be diverted for research purposes
  • Patient undergoing tissue collection as per clinical standard of care and willing to have additional specimens taken for research
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Patient willing to undergo biopsy for purpose of research only
  • The following inclusion criteria apply only to patients undergoing biopsy for research purposes only under this protocol:
  • ≥18 years of age
  • Treatment options offer no expectation of cure, e.g., advanced solid tumor patients with metastatic disease. NOTE: This restriction applies to biopsy of vital organs only, e.g., lung, liver, etc.
  • Appropriate candidate for research biopsy based on institutional standards for target biopsy site

Who cannot join

  • Any condition that would make participation in the protocol unreasonably hazardous for the patient in the opinion of the treating physician
  • Dementia, altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition or co-morbid condition that would prohibit the understanding or rendering of informed consent.
  • The following exclusion criteria apply only to enrolled patients undergoing biopsy for research purposes only:
  • History of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction to local anesthetics (i.e. lidocaine, xylocaine) or any medications used for conscious sedation (if applicable).
  • Requires general anesthesia for collection of biopsy
  • Pregnant or lactating women
  • Active cardiac disease
  • Patients receiving bevacizumab less than 6 weeks prior to enrollment into this study should not undergo research core biopsies because of the concern for potential increased bleeding risk and delayed healing. (NOTE: Patients receiving bevacizumab who are undergoing a research biopsy of accessible organs (e.g. breast, lymph node, skin etc.) must be two weeks from the last dose of the angiogenesis inhibitor).

What participants receive

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

  • Tumor Genetic SequencingDiagnostic test

    This study will look at genetic material from a sample of the subjects tumor, look at certain changes in the genetic material, and see if these changes are related to the subjects cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of Patients With a Reportable Genetic Variant

    To estimate the proportion of patients enrolled on the study who have undergone successful sequencing and have a reportable genetic variant identified

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Progression Free Survival

    Estimate Progression Free Survival (PFS) at 2 years in cancer patients with active disease with a reportable genetic variant and those without a reportable genetic variant

    Measured: 2 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tumor Genetic Sequencing in people with Neoplasm, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center 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?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 8 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 30 Dec 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Dec 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Proportion of Patients With a Reportable Genetic Variant (time frame: 1 year). 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 30 Dec 2019.
