About this study

Official title: Two Cancers, One Gene

Individuals who are affected with pancreas cancer and melanoma as well as those without either cancer who have been identified as 1st or 2nd degree relatives of family members with pancreas cancer and melanoma will be asked to participate. The participant will be asked to complete a survey about their health and family history of cancer and to give a blood sample for specific gene testing and storage for future research studies.The overall goal of this study is to understand the factors that increase susceptibility and expression of pancreatic cancer and melanoma in high risk families.

Medical subject headings
Pancreatic Neoplasms, Melanoma

What is being measured

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

  1. Genomic and risk factor differences among family members who share identical predisposing CDKN2A gene mutations, with different phenotypes; will discover patterns of tumorigenesis, tissue specificity, gene-gene, and gene-environment interactions.

    Genotypes of potential modifier genes will be identified in multiple kindreds that feature pancreatic cancer and melanoma and known to carry CDKN2A germline mutations. The investigators will then determine common germline variants in potential CDKN2A mutant carriers using targeted sequencing and search for genetic modifiers by performing Illumina HumanOmni5Exome-4 Beadchip with Infinium LCG on germline DNA. The Illumina microarray contains over 4.5 million markers, of which 528,675 are exonic, and includes over 2.6 million SNPs that would be considered common. The investigators will analyze the genetic and risk factor data collected through the completed surveys by participants using both statistical genetic and machine learning methods. As a means of extension and potential validation, the investigators will then similarly study up to 200 members who are mutation carriers in 39 other CDKN2A mutation-positive kindreds.

    Measured: Each participant provides a research blood sample and completes a questionnaire.This is the duration of their the participant's direct involvement. The duration of generating genotypes and analysis of risk factors may extend up to two years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreas Cancer and Melanoma, run by Mayo Clinic 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 16 Jun 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?

Genomic and risk factor differences among family members who share identical predisposing CDKN2A gene mutations, with different phenotypes; will discover patterns of tumorigenesis, tissue specificity, gene-gene, and gene-environment interactions. (time frame: Each participant provides a research blood sample and completes a questionnaire.This is the duration of their the participant's direct involvement. The duration of generating genotypes and analysis of risk factors may extend up to two 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 16 Jun 2022.
