Trial summary

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Polymorphisms and Mutations in Genes Postulated to Alter the Efficacy of Gefitinib in Samples From E1302

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at biomarkers in samples from patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer treated on ECOG-E1302 trial.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To evaluate the frequency of ATP-binding cassette, sub-family G (WHITE), member 2 (ABCG2), met proto-oncogene (hepatocyte growth factor receptor) (c-MET), and v-Ki-ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (K-ras) polymorphisms or mutations in this study population and the predictiveness of these polymorphisms on survival, time to progression, response rate, and toxicities.

OUTLINE: Archived tumor tissue and peripheral blood mononuclear cells are analyzed for the frequency of ABCG2, c-MET, and K-ras polymorphisms or mutations by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results are then correlated with patients' clinical outcomes and toxicity.

Being tested
mutation analysis, polymerase chain reaction, polymorphism analysis, laboratory biomarker analysis

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. The prevalence of c-MET, ABCG2, and K-ras polymorphisms or mutation status summarized by frequency and percentage for all samples

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Association of c-MET, ABCG2, and K-ras polymorphisms or mutation status with toxicity using Fisher's exact test

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Association between biomarkers and time to event distribution estimated by by Kaplan-Meier and estimated by log-rank tests

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Association between biomarkers and clinical endpoints using logistic regression model and Cox proportional hazards

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Head and Neck Cancer, run by Eastern Cooperative Oncology 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?

The prevalence of c-MET, ABCG2, and K-ras polymorphisms or mutation status summarized by frequency and percentage for all samples (time frame: 1 year). 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 17 May 2017.
