About this study

This proposal seeks to further understand the contribution of the PIK3CA mutations in colon cancer, by correlating the type of hotspot mutation with the development of metastases in stage II and stage Ill patients.

In order to do this, DNA will be extracted from either frozen or paraffin embedded colon cancer tissues to sequence PIK3CA, KRAS and BRAF. Clinical outcome data will be gathered to include metastases and survival to correlate with PIK3CA, KRAS and BRAF mutational status. Patients with stage II and stage Ill colon cancers will be identified in the University of New Mexico Human Tissue Repository and the NIH PLCO prevention trial biorepository.

Existing banked tissues of stage II and Ill colon cancers will be collected. There will be no direct contact with living individuals. Epidemiological factors such as age, race, gender and outcome data of metastases and survival will be collected.

Read the detailed description

This proposal aims to identify PIK3CA mutations as a biomarker for metastasis.

In order to do this, DNA will be extracted from either frozen or paraffin embedded colon cancer tissues to sequence PIK3CA, KRAS and BRAF. Clinical outcome data will be gathered to include metastases and survival to correlate with PIK3CA, KRAS and BRAF mutational status. Patients with stage II and stage Ill colon cancers will be identified in the University of New Mexico Human Tissue Repository and the NIH PLCO prevention trial biorepository.

Existing banked tissues of stage II and Ill colon cancers will be collected. There will be no direct contact with living individuals. Epidemiological factors such as age, race, gender and outcome data of metastases and survival will be collected.

Specific Aims:

  1. To develop and standardize methods for high throughput DNA extraction and analysis from colon tumors of patients with stage II and stage III disease harboring PIK3CA exon 9 and exon 20 mutations.
  2. To determine the correlation between wild type and PIK3CA, PIK3CA exon 9 and PIK3CA exon 20 mutations and development of metastatic disease and overall survival in stage II and stage III patients with colorectal cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. The best standardized method for high throughput DNA extraction and analysis from colon tumors of patients

    Develop and standardize methods for high throughput DNA extraction and analysis from colon tumors of patients with stage II and stage Ill disease harboring PIK3CA exon 9 and exon 20 mutations.

    Currently, commercially available kits to assay for the Pl3K mutations rely on Sanger sequencing of DNA products extracted from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues. The presence of a pseudogene on chromosome 22 can interfere with the detection of helical domain mutations. A pyrosequencing technique which allows one to "sequence by synthesis" has been developed to allow the detection of the hotspot PIK3CA mutations without interference from this pseudogene. The investigators propose to modify and expand this pyrosequencing technique to include the additional mutations identified in exons 9 and 20, allowing identifications of nearly 85% of all PIK3CA mutations. Prior to sequencing the investigators will op

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 20 years

  2. The correlation between wild type PIK3CA, PIK3CA exon 9 and PIK3CA exon 20 mutations and developing of metastatic disease and overall colorectal patient survival

    Tissues from stage II and stage Ill colorectal cancer patients have been identified in the University of New Mexico (UNM) Human Tissue Repository (HTR) and will be available for analysis. Clinical follow up data including the development of metastases, site(s) of metastases and overall survival will be collected from a combination of the tumor registry and the medical records. Additional formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues from patients with stage II and Ill colorectal cancer will be available from the NCI Prostate, Lung, Colon, Ovary Prevention Trial. Extensive clinical follow-up and survival data are already annotated for patients in this trial and will be available for analysis. Correlation between wild type PIK3CA, exon 9 and exon 20 PIK3CA mutants, KRAS and BRAF mutational status and the occurrence of metastases will be determined. Survival curves will also be generated based on mutational status of the genes listed above.

    Measured: Through study completion, up to 20 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colon Cancer, run by New Mexico Cancer Research Alliance 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 18 May 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 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?

The best standardized method for high throughput DNA extraction and analysis from colon tumors of patients (time frame: Through study completion, up to 20 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 May 2021.
