About this study

Official title: Effect of Copper Transporter-1 Genetic Polymorphism on Platinum Based Chemotherapy Response in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

Study the effect of genetic polymorphism in the membrane copper transporter 1 protein [CTR1; encoded by the solute carrier family 31 member 1 gene (SLC31A1 gene)] and its genetic expression levels on the clinical outcome of cisplatin-based regimen used in the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in terms of :

  • Treatment response : partial response (PR) / complete response (CR) and Progression-free survival (PFS)
  • Treatment resistance : stationary disease (SD) or progressed disease
  • Frequency and severity of regimen related toxicity
Read the detailed description

The cisplatin-based regimen is an effective treatment for advanced NSCLC, showing significant beneficial outcomes such as prolong survival, improve clinical symptoms, and improve quality of life (QOL) . Although platinum-based therapy shows several benefits, but the five-year survival rate still less than 20%.

Pt resistance is an inevitable occurrence with rare exception. Aside from germ cell tumors, metastatic solid tumors are generally thought to be incurable with cytotoxic chemotherapy due to the development of resistance and subsequent disease progression.

Despite the multifactorial nature of Cisplatin resistance, intracellular accumulation of Pt appears to be a major source of drug resistance . Reduced intracellular drug accumulation is one of the most consistently identified features of cisplatin-resistant cells.

Many evidences indicated that alteration of copper transporter protein 1 (CTR1) which is the major plasma membrane transporter responsible for platinum uptake, was associated with platinum sensitivity and toxicity.

Genetic polymorphisms of CTR1 also have effects to platinum treatment response. Therefore, CTR1 might be a potential prognostic factor for survival in cancer patients underwent chemotherapy and a treatment target for overcoming platinum resistance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor response and resistance

    will be evaluated after the third (initial evaluation response) and the sixth (confirmation of initial response) chemotherapy cycle according to the new Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    defined as the time from day 1 of chemotherapy to the day of documented disease progression or death.

    Measured: 1.5 years

  2. Regimen related toxicity

    1. Hematologic toxicity (anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia) 2. Nephrotoxicity 3. Ototoxicity 4. Neurotoxicity

    Measured: 1.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 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 2 Jan 2019. 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 Egypt. 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 Yara Sayed (01067004796 ext. +2, yara.awes@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tumor response and resistance (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03791151, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 2 Jan 2019.
