About this study

Official title: Precision Medicine for Patients With Malignancy at the Comprehensive Cancer Center of Wake Forest University

This pilot clinical trial studies patients' genomic sequencing in determining specific treatments, also called Precision Medicine, in patients with cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and/or cannot be removed by surgery. Examining the genetic code of a patient's tumor, a mutation (a change in the deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] sequence of a cell or gene) may be identified and matched with available treatment that targets the mutated gene or an alternative treatment that may provide benefit for the patient with the mutation identified. Precision medicine may impacts patient's response to treatment by targeting specific mutations and may increase survival and improve quality of life.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the feasibility of implementing a Precision Oncology protocol in the treatment of patients who undergo genomic sequencing.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine treatment response rates in patients who receive targeted treatment versus those who do not receive targeted treatment.

II. To assess survival in patients who receive targeted treatment versus those who do not receive targeted treatment.

III. To assess changes in patient-reported outcomes in patients who receive targeted treatment versus those who do not receive targeted treatment.

IV. To perform exploratory statistical genetic and bioinformatics analyses using the data derived from the genomic sequencing to catalogue additional important variants and determine whether there are any patterns or associations among patient level risk factors, their outcomes and genomic information that was not identified by the original genomic sequencing analyses.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive treatment based on the results of their genomic sequencing analyses.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 2 months.

Being tested
Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Quality-of-Life Assessment, Targeted Therapy
Medical subject headings
Neoplasm Metastasis, Recurrence, Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility in terms of the ability to monitoring patient outcomes across separate treatment protocols and study teams.

    Typical patient outcome measures will necessarily vary by disease, so survival will be the overarching outcome measure.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Proportion of patients enrolled on this protocol who are subsequently enrolled in a clinical trial based on the results of the genomic sequencing

    Measured: Baseline

  3. Proportion of patients enrolled on this protocol who have a clinical trial identified for them to be enrolled in based on the results of the genomic sequencing

    The observed proportion and corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be estimated.

    Measured: Baseline

  4. Proportion of patients with an actionable mutation

    Each patient enrolled will be dichotomized into either having a clinical trial identified (yes/no) that the results of their genomic sequencing suggests. The observed proportion and corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be estimated.

    Measured: Baseline

  5. Feasibility in terms of the ability to monitoring patient adverse events across separate treatment protocols and study teams.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change in patient-reported symptoms of cancer and cancer treatment, as assessed by the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory

    Measured: Baseline to up to 48 weeks

  2. Patient's perceived quality care, as assessed by 3 items adapted from Arora, et al

    Measured: Up to up to 48 weeks

  3. Patient's satisfaction with treatment decision-making and decisional regret, as assessed by an adapted Satisfaction with Decision scale

    Measured: Up to up to 48 weeks

  4. Self-perceived burden, as assessed by the Self-Perceived Burden Scale-Short form for measuring chronic disease patients' feelings of being a burden on their caregivers

    Measured: Up to up to 48 weeks

  5. Survival rate in patients who receive targeted treatment versus those who do not receive targeted treatment

    Kaplan Meier curves will be estimated and groups will be compared using Log-Rank tests. These analyses will be performed across all disease sites and then stratified by disease site.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  6. Survival rate in patients who receive targeted treatment versus those who do not receive targeted treatment

    Kaplan Meier curves will be estimated and groups will be compared using Log-Rank tests. These analyses will be performed across all disease sites and then stratified by disease site.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  7. Treatment response rates in patients who receive targeted treatment versus those who do not receive targeted treatment

    For each patient a clinical response assessment will be ascertained and compared between groups. 95% confidence intervals will be estimated for the response rates (with stable disease [SD], partial response [PR] and complete response [CR] pooled together) and the repeated with PR and CR pooled together.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Quality-of-Life Assessment and Targeted Therapy in people with Metastatic Neoplasm and Recurrent Neoplasm, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 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 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: Assessing Feasibility). 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?

Feasibility in terms of the ability to monitoring patient outcomes across separate treatment protocols and study teams. (time frame: Up to 2 years). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Jul 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
