About this study

Official title: The Effect of FAS and FAS Ligand Genetic Polymorphisms on the Clinical Outcome of Patients With Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Treated With Platinum-Based Regimens

To Study the Effect of Polymorphisms in Fas Ligand Gene Promoter Region (rs 763110) and Fas gene (rs1800682) on Platinum-Based regimens used in treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM)

Read the detailed description

This study tries to find a correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) found in promoter region of Fas Ligand gene (rs 763110) and Fas (rs1800682) and clinical outcome on patients with MPM treated with platinum-Based agents as first line. the patients will have one of three following genotypes : Thymine/Thymine, Thymine/Cytosine or Cytosine/Cytosine (for Fas ligand polymorphism) and Adenine/Adenine, Adenine/Guanine or Guanine/Guanine ( for Fas polymorphism).

What is being measured

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

  1. response rate

    Tumor response will be evaluated after the third (initial evaluation response) and the sixth (confirmation of initial response) chemotherapy cycle according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Patients will be assigned to one of following groups: complete response (CR), Partial response (PR), Stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD).

    Measured: After 6 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 21 days )

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. progression free survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival (PFS) time is defined as the time from day 1 of chemotherapy to the day of documented disease progression or to death from any cause

    Measured: one year

  2. overall survival (OS)

    time is defined as the time from day 1 of chemotherapy to death from any cause.

    Measured: one year

  3. estimation of treatment related toxicity

    Hematologic (anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia) and non hematologic (nausea/vomiting, alopecia and nephrotoxicity) toxicities will be evaluated according to the National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria. The worst degree of toxicity experienced throughout the treatment is used for the analysis. Toxicities of grade 2 or higher will be considered as clinically relevant.

    Measured: during the chemotherapy period, average duration 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 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 3 Jan 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 Egypt. 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?

response rate (time frame: After 6 cycles of chemotherapy (each cycle is 21 days )). 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 3 Jan 2018.
