About this study

Official title: Personalized Drug Sensitivity Test for Late Stage, Potentially Operable Gastrointestinal Cancer Using Patient Derived Primary Cell Culture

Explore the clinical feasibility of using primary cell culture system to guide gastrointestinal cancer chemotherapy, and establish the correlation between ex vivo drug sensitivity and patient clinical response.

Study objectives: Personalized drug sensitivity test for late stage,potentially operable gastrointestinal cancer using patient derived primary cell culture.

Explore the clinical feasibility of using primary cell culture system to guide gastrointestinal cancer chemotherapy, and establish the correlation between ex vivo drug sensitivity and patient clinical response.

The study will collect primary tumor tissues from stage III/IV gastrointestinal cancer patients who underwent emergency surgeries, and then establish the primary tumor cell library for ex vivo chemotherapy drug sensitivity test in order to:

  1. Compare the ex vivo Maximal Inhibition Index(MI) and Drug Sensitivity Index (DSI) with patient's Overall Response Rate (ORR)
  2. Provide research support for future clinical treatment.

This ex vivo method applies to single or combination drug regimen, and does not require prior knowledge of the specific mechanism for individual patient's drug sensitivity. Previous research as well as literature studies support the close relationship between ex vivo drug sensitivity and in vivo drug response.

Read the detailed description

The patient underwent surgery to remove tumor and agreed to take out the abdominal tumor specimens for research. A section of each sample was removed for the generation of PDX models as described early.The rest of the tumor cells were expanded using ex vivo drug sensitivity assay.

The drugs used in the study were 5-fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, and irinotecan at C0 = 10 mM, 2.5 mM and 0.02 mM, respectively. They were applied either as single agents or in combinations of 5-fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil and irinotecan, or all three agents, or others. After 7 days of treatment, the tumor cells were stained with EdU, Hoechst and EpCAM with the Cell Quantitative Detection Kit. Images were acquired with an automated microscopic image-scanning system and analyzed with the built-in software.

What is being measured

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

  1. ex vivo Maximal Inhibition Index (MI)

    The effectiveness of each therapeutic regimen was evaluated and quantified using the formula: Maximum Inhibition (MI)=N0/Nd, where N0 and Nd denotes the number of EpCAM+ EdU+ epithelial cells in the wells of control or withthe drug at concentration C0, respectively.

    Measured: 1 month after the tissue acquisition

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Disease Control Rate(DCR)after chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Personalized drug sensitivity test in people with Gastrointestinal Cancer Metastatic, run by Peking University Cancer Hospital & Institute at 1 site in China.

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 8 inclusion and 8 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 6 Mar 2020. 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 China. 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 Yingjie Li, M.D. (+86 13520186618, liyingjiedr@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ex vivo Maximal Inhibition Index (MI) (time frame: 1 month after the tissue acquisition). 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 6 Mar 2020.
