About this study

Official title: Detection of DNA Mutations in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

RATIONALE: DNA analysis of tumor tissue may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in patients with head and neck cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the mutation rates of HRAS and PIK3CA in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who were treated with cisplatin/placebo and cisplatin/cetuximab on protocol ECOG-E5397.
  • To determine the association between HRAS or PIK3CA mutation status and clinical benefits (i.e., response, progression-free survival, and overall survival) in patients treated with cisplatin/cetuximab compared with those receiving cisplatin/placebo on protocol ECOG-E5397.

OUTLINE: DNA is isolated from one unstained slide per patient. The mutations in HRAS and PIK3CA are determined using BEAMING technology.

Being tested
cetuximab, cisplatin, DNA analysis, gene expression analysis, mutation analysis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Head and Neck 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 19 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 rates of HRAS and PIK3CA (time frame: 1 day). 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 19 May 2017.
