About this study

Official title: OPTImal PALliative Anti-epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Treatment in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer - Feasibility Study Investigating Circulating Tumor DNA for Treatment Decisions

The present study will investigate the feasibility and clinical value of using circulating tumor DNA as selection for anti-epidermal growth factor receptor treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

The primary aim of this prospective study is to investigate if cfDNA in plasma is feasible and reliable for selection of mCRC patients who will benefit of anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody therapy

Secondary, to analyze developments in mutational status as reflected by cfDNA in plasma during therapy and at time of progression

Being tested
Plasma circulating DNA analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of ctDNA analysis for RAS mutation analysis

    Feasibility measures

    Identification of wildtype or mutated status and results delivered to clinicians

    • Initial clinical test results i.e. ctDNA mutations or wildtype status within 7 days
    • Detailed mutation type characterization is provided retrospectively.

    Failure parameters

    • Quality of samples; PB > 5%, CPP1 major loss < 10%
    • Transportation > 3 week days
    • Analysis > 3 working days
    • Total results delivered > 7 days.

    Measured: maximum 7 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Retrospective concordance analysis

    Retrospective comparison of tumor mutation and plasma mutation analysis at baseline

    Measured: By end of study, expected after 3 years

  2. Disease control rate

    Rate of disease control

    Measured: 1 year

  3. OS

    Overall survival rate

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Resistance mutations

    Rate of Ectoderm mutations at time of progression

    Measured: At time of progression, data analysis expected after 3 years

  5. Lead time

    Calcualted lead time between radiologically detected progression and molecular biologically detected ( by Ectoderm and other resistance mutations) in the ctDNA.

    Measured: At time of progression, data analysis expected after 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer Metastatic and Circulating Tumor DNA, run by Karen-Lise Garm Spindler 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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2023. 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?

Feasibility of ctDNA analysis for RAS mutation analysis (time frame: maximum 7 days). 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 NCT03750175, 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 3 Feb 2023.
