About this study

Aim 1 - Launch Pilot Study. In this aim, the investigators seek to launch a pilot study and enroll 12 eligible patients with advanced small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and to obtain the necessary tumor biopsies to yield sufficient DNA and RNA for Genome-Wide Sequencing (GWS).

Aim 2 - Treatment Selection. Completion of this study aim will provide a new clinical paradigm in the treatment of SCLC such that each individual patient would be treated with a single-agent or combination therapy of commercially available agents that relates to particular target(s) that have been identified via GWS.

Read the detailed description

Participants will be consented into the study after they are found to meet the study inclusion criteria. The clinical staff will schedule a tissue biopsy and a blood draw for the participant. Blood will be sent to Ashion for DNA extraction. Tumor specimens will be shipped to Ashion for DNA and RNA extraction. Ashion will process the samples for DNA and RNA Sequencing in their CLIA certified laboratory. A portion of the nucleic acid will be stored in Ashion and used to confirm actionable targets. Results will be submitted to the physician for possible inclusion in the treatment regimen. After sequencing analysis has been performed, a report will be provided to the treating oncologist. The PI and the treating oncologist may review the results to identify potential treatment. The treating oncologist may use this information at their discretion, and is not required to treat the patient based on the targets identified by the GWS analysis.

Being tested
Standard of care based on target(s) identified via GWS.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study of Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Western Regional Medical 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 7 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 2017. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: PI no longer at site and he does). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

amount of DNA and RNA obtained from tumor biopsies and if can perform Genome-Wide Sequencing (GWS). (time frame: 28 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 9 Nov 2017.
