About this study

Observational study (cohort type) of advanced GC patients that will be recruited prospectively to study biological factors associated with the disease and relevant clinical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Despite of multiple attempts to improve treatment in recent decades, none strategies has improved prognosis in locally advanced stage III and IV GC. A therapeutic approach to GC based on current histological and image criteria (Tumour Node Metastasis -TNM- stage) is insufficient. Although multiple targeted agents are currently under investigation, so far, only trastuzumab and ramucirumab have demonstrated efficacy in advanced GC and have a regulatory approval. For this reason, the identification of specific targets that could be susceptible for drug inhibition, is an urgent requirement. Moreover, most studies and current international databases on late-stage/advanced GC are largely based on Asian populations, in sharp contrast tumour biology and genome of EU or CELAC populations remain poorly known.

The primary objective of this study are to:

  1. Characterize a multi-centric cohort including EU and CELAC populations diagnosed with advanced GC through a multi-omic approach including proteomics, genomics, transcriptomics, microbiome and exposome analysis due to study the determinants of GC.
  2. Identify the regional differences in EU and CELAC populations recruiting patients for this study for each omic characterization due to identify the high-risk group populations.
  3. Identify and select from the multi-omic approach those biomarkers useful for the development of an algorithm to guide the therapeutic approach for advanced GC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Development of a new diagnostic algorithm for gastric cancer that includes molecular landscape, patient history, histopathological and environmental factors, personal microbiome and immune landscape

    The project will look for an integrative diagnostic algorithm that incorporates multi-parameter inputs and apply artificial intelligence to provide more personalized risk estimates and which will form the basis for future development of a clinical tool

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Proteomic analysis of gastric cancer tissue

    Determine the expression of certain proteins using ICH and ISH

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Genomics (tumour next-generation sequencing)

    Determine differences in the genetic mutational profile of different populations

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Transcriptomics (Nanostring immune gene expression panel)

    Determine differences in the genetic expression profile of different populations

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Microbiota sequencing (including level of Epstein-Barr virus [EBV] DNA)

    Determine differences in the microbiota profile of different populations

    Measured: 3 years

  5. Dietary habits as assessed by a new study-specific questionnaire

    Determine differences in dietary habits of different populations and its correlation with risk to develop gastric cancer

    Measured: 3 years

  6. Biological risk factors as assessed through medical chart review

    Determine differences in biological risk factors of different populations and its correlation with risk to develop gastric cancer

    Measured: 3 years

  7. Daily routines as assessed by a new study-specific questionnaire

    Determine differences daily routines of different populations and its correlation with risk to develop gastric cancer

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer, run by Fundación para la Investigación del Hospital Clínico de Valencia at 8 sites in 7 countries.

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 9 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 9 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Spain, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Netherlands and 2 more countries. 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?

Development of a new diagnostic algorithm for gastric cancer that includes molecular landscape, patient history, histopathological and environmental factors, personal microbiome and immune landscape (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT04015466, 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 9 May 2024.
