About this study

Official title: Quantification and Characterization of Circulating Tumor Cells in Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to identify circulating tumor cells in patients with solid tumors. Quantify and characterize these cells, collect patient information in regards to the patient's cancer. Develop a database and a sample repository where future analysis could be done.

Read the detailed description

The primary purpose of this correlative study is to create a prospective database documenting the quantity and characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in solid tumor patients as identified by a various laboratory techniques and analyses. The investigators are developing this resource to provide data to achieve the following objectives: 1) correlate CTCs with known prognostic factors, 2) correlate CTCs with burden of disease, 3) evaluate the ability of CTCs to be used in the surveillance of disease recurrence, and 4) evaluate CTCs ability to be used as a biomarker for treatment response.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Solid Tumor, Adult, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive 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 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 28 Sep 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 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?

Documentation of the Quality of CTCs from Patients with Solid Tumors (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 5 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03161821, 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 28 Sep 2022.
