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
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The probands will be selected from colorectal cancer patients with the loss of staining by immunohistochemistry of any of the mismatch repair (MMR) proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2). The blood relatives verifying germline mutation will be selected from whose probands have germline mutation(s).

For probands, the inclusion criteria:

All of the following four points should be satisfied:

  • Histological diagnosis of colorectal cancer;
  • With the loss of staining by immunohistochemistry of any of the mismatch repair (MMR) proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2);
  • With sufficient tumor tissue and normal tissue to test;
  • Agree to provide basic information, clinical information and family history of cancer information.

For probands, the exclusion criteria:

  • With at least one blood relative with known pathogenic germline mutation(s).

For blood relatives verifying germline mutation, the inclusion criteria:

All of the following three points should be satisfied:

  • First- to second-degree blood relatives of probands with germline mutation(s).
  • With Sufficient tumor tissue and normal tissue to test.
  • Agree to provide basic information, clinical information and family history of cancer information.

For blood relatives verifying germline mutation, the exclusion criteria:

  • Blood relatives who refuse to test.

About this study

Official title: Diagnosis of Lynch Syndrome Based on the Colorectal Core™ Platform in Colorectal Cancer Patients With the Loss of Staining by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) of Any of the Mismatch Repair (MMR) Proteins: An Open-label and Multi-center Study

The purpose of this study is to determine the proportion of patients diagnosed with Lynch syndrome in colorectal cancer patients with the loss of staining by immunohistochemistry (IHC) of any of the mismatch repair (MMR) proteins. Besides, this study aims to test the specificity and the sensitivity of detecting microsatellite instability (MSI) by next-generation sequencing, and to find out the consistency between IHC and MSI in colorectal cancer patients in China. In addition, researchers want to analyze the clinical characteristics and germline mutation of Lynch syndrome in Chinese population.

Read the detailed description
  1. Detect microsatellite instability (by next-generation sequencing and PCR capillary electrophoresis) and germline mutation (by next-generation sequencing) in probands.
  2. Analyze the test outcome with clinical and family information to evaluate the germline mutation status preliminarily: likely pathogenic germline mutation, variant of uncertain significance, non-pathogenic germline mutation.
  3. Verify the germline mutation in blood relatives whose proband has known likely pathogenic germline mutation or variant of uncertain significance.
  4. Diagnose pathogenic germline mutation and non-pathogenic germline mutation based on clinical characteristics, family information and germline mutation test outcomes (including the outcomes of probands and blood relatives). Diagnose Lynch syndrome and the pathogenic germline mutation carriers in the included population.
  5. Analyze the specificity and the sensitivity of detecting microsatellite instability (MSI) by next-generation sequencing; and analyze the consistency between IHC and MSI.
  6. Analyze the clinical characteristics and germline mutation of Lynch syndrome in Chinese population.

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

  • next-generation sequencingOther

    Use next-generation sequencing to test germline mutation and microsatellite instability.

What is being measured

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lynch Syndrome, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 7 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in China. 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?

Pathogenic germline mutation (time frame: Upon completion of study, on average 2 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 15 Jul 2021.
