About this study

Official title: Circulation Tumor Cells, Tumor DNA and Immunological Response in Relation to Colonic Stent Placement for Malignant Obstruction

This study aims to investigate levels of circulating cell free DNA (cfDNA), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor cells (CTC) and immunological changes after self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) placement for malignant obstruction in the colon, and interpret these levels in relation to overall- and disease-free survival.

Furthermore, we intend to study the opportunity to identify patients with a higher risk of recurrence due to the SEMS placement by monitoring cfDNA and ctDNA-levels, as it may be a potential biomarker to initiate or optimize chemotherapy and thereby ensure a better prognosis for the patients.

Read the detailed description

Study design This prospective study will include 20 patients undergoing SEMS placement as a bridge to elective surgery at Koege- and Slagelse Hospital. Baseline blood samples will be collected before the procedure. After the procedure blood samples will be collected 1, 4, 12 and 24 hours after SEMS placement. After elective surgery a tumor sample will be collected.

Prior to SEMS placement:

When potential candidates are admitted to the hospital they will be presented to the study by the relevant surgeon. The investigators will be contacted, when the patient is admitted to hospital.

What is being measured

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

  1. ctDNA/cfDNA levels in relation to colorectal stent placement

    Blood samples will be collected before the treatment and again 1, 4, 12 and 24 hours after stent placement.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Immunological response

    Flow cytometry will be performed and additionally multiplex cytokine analyses will be performed

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Metastatic ability of the cancer cells

    Cell adhesion assay, proliferation and migration will be performed on serum.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer of Colon, run by Zealand University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 5 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 25 Feb 2021. 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 Denmark. 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?

ctDNA/cfDNA levels in relation to colorectal stent placement (time frame: 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 25 Feb 2021.
