Trial summary

Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer will receive biopsy before the standard treatment of neoadjuvant chemoradiation. The investigators are going to establish organoids model from the pre-treatment biopsies and expose organoids to irradiation and the same chemotherapy drugs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Validation of Organoids Potential Use as a Companion Diagnostic in Predicting Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation Sensitivity in Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer

Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer will receive biopsy before the standard treatment of neoadjuvant chemoradiation. The investigators are going to establish organoids model from the pre-treatment biopsies and expose organoids to irradiation and the same chemotherapy drugs. The sensitivity of irradiation and chemotherapy drugs will be tested in the organoids model. Here, the investigators will launch the observational clinical trial to validate whether the organoids could predict the clinical outcome in locally advanced rectal cancer patients underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation.

What participants receive

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

  • BiopsyOther

    Patients with locally advanced rectal cancer will receive biopsy of the primary tumor before neoadjuvant chemoradiation.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ArmPatients with locally advanced rectal cancer will receive neoadjuvant chemoradiation. The radiation procedure and concurrent chemotherapy drugs will base on clinical practice. Organoids bio-bank of pre-treatment tumor biopsies will be established and exposed to irradiation and the same chemotherapy drugs as the corresponding patient.
Receives: Other: Biopsy

What is being measured

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

  1. Response of the rectal cancer organoids to irradiation and the same chemotherapy drugs as the corresponding patient.

    The investigators will culture rectal cancer organoids and treat with irradiation and the same chemotherapy drugs as the corresponding patient. The number and size of alive organoids will be observed after treatment. The correlation of organoids sensitivity and patient response will be evaluated.

    Measured: 2018.08-2020.11

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Response of the rectal cancer patients to neoadjuvant chemoradiation.

    The investigators will use pathological tumor regression grade (TRG) to evaluate chemoradiation response of locally advanced rectal cancer patients.

    Measured: 2018.08-2020.11

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Organoids and Rectal Cancer, run by Zhen Zhang at 1 site in China.

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 7 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2018. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lijun Shen, MD (86-2164175590, lijunshen@fudan.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response of the rectal cancer organoids to irradiation and the same chemotherapy drugs as the corresponding patient. (time frame: 2018.08-2020.11). 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 20 Aug 2018.
