Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with metastasizing lung cancer where further treatment is still applicable.

Who cannot join

  • Terminal patients or patients in a reduced general condition with EGOC 3-4, i.e. patients who are confined to bed more than 50% of the day, with no clinical indication to perform sampling of the tumor and metastases.
  • Patients where further cancer treatment is no longer applicable.
  • Patients with cognitive impairment.
  • Patients with inaccessible metastases where sampling may cause distress to the patient and are at increased risk of complications.

About this study

The project aims to compare the histopathological and molecular characteristics of tumour tissue from metastases with similar analyses of the primary tumour in the lung, where it is available.

The investigators will therefore perform analysis of blood samples if possible, to identify predictive markers in blood samples.

Read the detailed description

The investigators want to make genome analysis of tissue samples. This involves analysing the RNA, DNA methylation, for example in cancer cells. This will provide information regarding somatic changes in cancer cells, such as mutations. All of the investigators analysis will be cancer-focused, with the goal of increasing understanding of the heterogeneity.

The investigators will therefore perform analysis of blood samples if possible, to identify predictive markers in blood samples. This will then be the miRNA, RNA expression or protein expression in blood samples.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparing histopathological and molecular characteristics of tumour tissue from metastases with the primary tumour in the lung

    We will do profiling of the mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) expression of microRNA and perform single nucleotide polymorphism analysis of cancer tissue and compare the expression using statistical methods such as SAM (Significance analysis and microarrays), PAM (Prediction analysis of microarrays). In addition, we wish to perform specific genetic analysis of cancer-related genes. These will be made with available methods like sequencing or TaqMan assays for specific mutations.

    Blood samples will be analysed by microarray methods for RNA and microRNA in addition to serum analysis of proteins.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Genome analysis of tissue samples. in people with Lung Cancer and Primary Tumor, run by Janna Berg at 1 site in Norway.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2023. 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 Norway. 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?

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?

Comparing histopathological and molecular characteristics of tumour tissue from metastases with the primary tumour in the lung (time frame: 5 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 23 Jan 2023.
