About this study

Official title: Genomic Predictors Indicating the Risk of Venous Thromboembolic Disease in Cancer Patients Treated in Outpatient Clinics

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common disease in cancer patients and one of the major causes of cancer-associated mortality. Risk for developing VTE increases when cancer patients are receiving chemotherapy. Current risk scores for predicting cancer-associated VTE in ambulatory patients had low/moderate discrimination and clinical sensitivity. These models use clinical and biochemical parameters of the patient.

In the development of VTE genetics play a relevant role. The product Thrombo inCode (TiC) assess VTE risk prediction by using a combination of a genetic risk score (GRS) and clinical parameters from the patient. The investigators hypothesized that the GRS included in TiC combined with clinical parameter some of them associated with cancer could be better predicted by TiC than by current risk scores (Khorana score).

After publishing the primary results in 2018, we have expanded the GRS in a external validation cohort adding gliomas and biliary tract tumors. Also we have incorporated the assessment of D-dimer in order to improve the predictive capability.

Read the detailed description

The working hypothesis of this study establishes that the risk of cancer patients suffering a thromboembolic event is conditioned by individual genomic factors. The genes to be analyzed have clearly demonstrated their relationship with thromboembolic disease in other clinical contexts. This study is considered the initiation of a field of research in genomic risk markers indicating a risk of thrombosis in cancer patients. The ultimate goal of the study is to establish a clinic-genomic score for selecting patients with a high risk of suffering thrombotic events who can benefit from guided thromboprophylaxis. Its secondary goal is to prevent the adverse effects of ineffective therapies in other patients (low-risk patients not requiring an anti-thrombotic prophylaxis).

The aim is to demonstrate the link between the clinic-genetic profile and the risk of suffering thromboembolic events in the group of cancer patients. The working hypothesis establishes that cancer patients who develop thrombotic events will have a higher score for the thrombosis risk clinic-genetic profile than cancer patients not developing thromboembolic events. The second aim is to analyze whether the thrombosis clinic-genetic risk score improves the detection of patients at risk of suffering a thromboembolic event compared to the Khorana predictive model routinely used (Khorana score).

Current validations ongoing:

An external retrospective validation adding 250 patients more and including D-dimer and other types of high-risk neoplasm.

An external prospective validation (second ONCOTRHROMB12-01 cohort 2) adding 450 patients more and including D-dimer and other types of high-risk neoplasm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer-associated Thrombosis and Genetic Predisposition, run by Andres muñoz at 9 sites in Spain.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Spain. 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?

Venous thromboembolism events (time frame: During the 18 months of follow up). 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 NCT03114618, which also lists 4 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 14 Apr 2022.
