About this study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether state-of-the-art technologies such and next generation sequencing and drug sensitivity and resistance testing of patient derived tumour tissue can facilitate research translation and improve outcome of urologic cancers.

Read the detailed description

Access to high-quality clinical patient material (e.g. tissue of primary tumor and metastasis, plasma and urine) linked to comprehensive registry and clinical data and molecular characterization of the patient material using state-of-the-art technologies (e.g. NGS, transcriptomics, imaging, DSRT) will facilitate a more rapid translation of basic research innovations into clinical care (diagnostics, imaging, therapeutics) and result in improved outcome of patients suffering from urologic cancers ("personalized medicine").

The principal aim of the project is to establish a framework and infrastructure for the systematic collection and interpretation of biological patient samples. Similarly, the investigators aim to establish the format how the related clinical and research data can be made readily accessible for both clinicians and researchers without compromising patient privacy. The key objectives of the project are to facilitate research translation and to improve outcome of urologic cancers.

Personalised medicine armOtherThis is a prospective "n-of-1" type of trial where every patient is his/her own control. This is a study further developing the translational use of an existing framework and infrastructure for systematic sample collection an analytics previously established in the HUB project incorporating NGS and DSRT into clinical care.
Receives: Other: Personalised treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful clinical translation

    The magnitude of successful clinical translation is measured by the number of times project-derived personalized medicine has impacted patients care by application of novel and existing biomarkers and therapies (e.g. sequencing, DSRT) by 2020

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Successful pre-clinical translation

    Successful pre-clinical translation, the magnitude of which is measured by the number of times project-derived potential druggable targets or able to re-purpose treatment options were identified within the project by 2020.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  2. Translation of preclinical data into clinically useful data.

    Translation of preclinical data into clinically useful data. The success of which is measured by the number of times preclinical data (e.g. sequencing, DSRT) was transformed into clinically useful form within 4 weeks from the time the initial sampling of the specimen was done.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  3. Number of representative cell models developed from clinical samples.

    Representativeness is based on the genetics of the cell model and the parental tumor

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Personalised treatment in people with Prostate Carcinoma and Kidney Cancer, run by Helsinki University Central Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2022. 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 Finland. 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?

Contact Antti S Rannikko, MD, PhD (+35894711, antti.rannikko@hus.fi), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Successful clinical translation (time frame: Up to 24 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 NCT02994758, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 11 Mar 2022.
