About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Prevalence of EGFR Mutations in epidermoïd Bronchopulmonary Cancers Diagnosed in Réunion

Lung cancer is the most common cancer in the world with 1.8 million estimated incident cases in 2012 (12.9% of diagnosed cancers) and 1.6 million deaths annually. In mainland France, lung cancer represents 12% of all incident cancers. The standardized incidence rates for the world population were then 52.6 per 100,000 for men and 23.4 / 100,000 for women, respectively. In Reunion, 415 cases of primary bronchopulmonary cancers were reported for the years 2011-2012, which gives standardized incidence rates lower than those observed in mainland France (33.1 / 100,000 in humans, 8.2 / 100,000 in women).

If the incidence of bronchopulmonary cancer is lower in Réunion than in mainland France, the study of histological subtypes appears different: the investigators observe a greater frequency of adenocarcinomas (65% vs 45%), at the expense squamous cell carcinomas. In addition, for adenocarcinomas, the frequency of EGFR type mutations is twice as high (23% vs 11%). Thus, if this rate of EGFR mutations observed in mainland France is very close to those described in all Caucasian populations, that observed in the Reunionese population appears closer to those described in Asian populations, and more particularly the Indian population. This can perhaps be explained by the fact that the population of Reunion is a cosmopolitan and highly mixed race, whose share of Asian origin, mainly Indian and Chinese, is significant.

In clinical practice, INCa recommends carrying out the search for the EGFR mutation for any patient with locally advanced or metastatic lung carcinoma, not small cell and non epidermoid. This restriction to the histology of adenocarcinoma is justified by the low frequency of EGFR mutations for other histological types in Caucasian populations. However, some studies describe significant EGFR mutation rates for epidermoid cancers in Asian populations, particularly in India. Thus, given that a large part of the Réunion population shares Asian origins, the question of the frequency of EGFR mutations among squamous cell carcinomas in Réunion is asked.

The hypothesis of this research is that, given the ethnic characteristics of the Reunionese population, the proportion of bronchopulmonary epidermoid cancers carrying the EGFR mutation is potentially significantly higher than that observed in Caucasian populations, including the French metropolitan population. If this rate of EGFR mutations were high in the Reunion population, it would then be necessary to allow the search for this mutation to be extended to all bronchopulmonary cancers, which will improve their therapeutic management.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Squamous Cell Lung Cancer, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Réunion at 3 sites in Reunion.

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 2 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 10 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Reunion. 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?

Prevalence of EGFR mutations among bronchopulmonary squamous cell carcinomas (time frame: 1 month). 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 10 Jan 2023.
