About this study

Official title: A Feasibility Study of Genomic Profiling Methods and Timing of Sample Collection to Evaluate Clonal Evolution and Tumor Heterogeneity

This is a feasibility study to look for genetic alterations in tissue and blood samples that may be useful in determining what treatments may be useful in the patient's cancer care.

Read the detailed description

As part of the study, patients will have archival tumor tissue collected, and have tumor biopsies and blood samples taken. The samples will be tested for genetic alterations, and the results will be discussed with the patient including potential treatments. If patients agree, after they have received treatment for their cancer and their disease progresses, a second biopsy procedure will be done.

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient recruitment for paired core and fine needle biopsy greater than or equal to 50% of those screened or approached.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The rate of acceptable tumor samples from fresh core needle biopsy samples/total number of fresh core needle biopsy samples greater than or equal to 90%

    Measured: 2 years

  2. The rate of acceptable tumor samples from fresh fine needle biopsy samples/total number of fresh fine needle biopsy samples greater than or equal to 50%

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Successful analysis of fresh core needle biopsy samples and fresh fine needle biopsy samples greater than or equal to 50%

    Sequenom or MiSeq/TSCAP and MiSeq/NGS

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Analysis of fresh core needle biopsy samples and fresh fine needle biopsy samples from time from patient recruitment to final results, less than a defined period of time, in greater than or equal to 90%

    Sequenom or MiSeq/TSCAP analysis from fresh core needle biopsy samples less than 4 weeks; sequenom or MiSeq/TSCAP analysis from fresh fine needle biopsy samples less than 8 weeks; MiSeq/NGS analysis from fresh core needle biopsy samples less than 8 weeks; MiSeq/NGS analysis from fresh fine needle biopsy samples less than 8 weeks

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Actionable genomic result analysis of fresh core needle biopsy samples and fresh fine needle biopsy samples greater than or equal to 30%

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer and Breast Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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 9 May 2018. 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 Canada. 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?

Patient recruitment for paired core and fine needle biopsy greater than or equal to 50% of those screened or approached. (time frame: 2 years). 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 9 May 2018.
