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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Participants from MDACC/Phase I historical archives, and participants actively on MDACC/Phase I studies.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with advanced cancer.
  • Consent for use of archival tissue from primary or metastatic cancer diagnosis. Note: Patients may currently be enrolled in other investigational protocol including treatment protocols.
  • Control Group #2 only: Control Group #2 will consist of 100 patients from MDACC/Phase I historical archives. Patients (cases no older than 2 years) will be selected based on clinical characteristics and genomic alterations similar to matched targeted therapy group.
  • Patients may have received prior 'matched' therapies; however, at the time of enrollment, patients may not currently be on a known 'matched' therapy, and may not have received a 'matched' therapy as the last treatment if not receiving treatment at the time of consent.
  • Patients who have a life expectancy of greater than 3 months.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with advanced cancer who are NOT likely to meet the additional enrollment criteria in matched targeted therapy protocols or treatments.
  • Patients who do not have archival tissue available.
  • Patients are excluded if their last treatment before enrollment included a targeted agent matched to a genomic alteration in the patient's tumor.

About this study

Official title: A Study Exploring the Use of the Foundation Medicine Genomic Profiling Assay in a Phase I Solid Tumor Patient Population

The goal of this research study is to collect and test tumor tissue from patients with advanced cancers that may be enrolled in Phase 1 studies or other treatments. Researchers will study if the results from genetic testing can help researchers determine which therapy may prove more beneficial for a patient in the future.

Read the detailed description

If you agree to take part in this study, your tumor tissue collected previously from surgery or a prior biopsy (archived tissue) will be used for genetic testing. Genetic testing looks at whether specific genes are changed (mutated) in the tumor.

The results of the genetic testing will be documented in your medical record. Your doctor may use the results of the genetic testing to help decide which treatment you will have. While awaiting results of the genomic profile assay, you may be enrolled in another treatment either at MD Anderson or near your home. This will be decided by your treating physician.

Your samples will be given a code number when they are sent for genetic testing to Foundation Medicine. No identifying information will be directly linked to your samples. Only the researcher in charge of sending all tissue for testing will have access to the code numbers and be able to link the samples to you. This is to allow medical data related to the samples to be updated as needed. Foundation Medicine will not be able to link this data to you.

Researchers will also review your medical history from before and following the collection of tissue, to learn if the use of genetic testing had any effect on the outcome of your treatment.

This is an investigational study.

Up to 300 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

What participants receive

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

  • Tumor TissueProcedure or surgery

    Tumor tissue collected previously from surgery or a prior biopsy (archived tissue) used for genetic testing.

Study groups in NCT02437617
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control Group #1Participants who have had tumor molecular analysis performed with the similar clinical characteristics and genomic aberrations but who receive therapy not matched to their aberrations, or who have received results from Foundation Medicine that fail to demonstrate any molecular alteration.
Receives: Procedure: Tumor Tissue
Control Group #2Participants from historical archives of MD Anderson, no older than two years, who received therapy not matched to their aberrations and are matched not only on the basis of the clinical characteristics, but also, as much as possible, on the basis of genomic aberrations.
Receives: Procedure: Tumor Tissue
Matched Targeted Therapy GroupParticipants with tumor aberrations who received matched targeted therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate

    Response rate of each of the three cohorts (matched targeted therapy group, control group #1 and control group #2) calculated along with its 95% confidence interval. Response rate defined as proportion of participants who experience complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Clinical response evaluated according to the RECIST 1.1.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Advanced Cancers, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 14 Jun 2021. 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 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: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02437617, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 14 Jun 2021.
