About this study

The investigators will detect circulating tumor DNA in blood of patients with lung metastases from colorectal cancer using NGS technology and intend to use it for predicting the outcome of local treatment (surgery or radiation) and recurrence of lung metastases.

Read the detailed description

The investigators produce customized gene target panel by selecting genes that are commonly found in colorectal cancer and metastasis from existing literature.

In patients diagnosed with lung metastases from colorectal cancer, 20mL of whole blood is collected before and after local treatment (surgery or radiation) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is extracted from the collected blood. Thereafter, 20 mL of whole blood is additionally collected once after 3 months (±2 months) and once after 6 months (±2 months) during follow-up and cfDNA is extracted. The investigators perform sequencing from the extracted cfDNA.

The investigators compare the mutations detected in cfDNA before and after local treatment and identify the trend of reducing mutations in cfDNA after local treatment. So The investigators discover biomarkers for the outcome of local treatment. The investigators also search for mutations for target drugs from mutation profiling of cfDNA.

What is being measured

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

  1. correlation between circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) before and after local treatment (surgery or radiation) and recurrence of lung metastases from colorectal cancer

    The investigations investigate whether ctDNA changes and f/u ctDNA fraction after local treatment (surgery or radiation) can be useful as markers to predict the outcome of local treatments.

    Measured: about 6 month but additional extension for patients with relapse after local treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. mutations related to target drug

    The investigations check for target drug related mutations from mutation profiling of ctDNA.

    Measured: about 6 month but additional extension for patients with relapse after local treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer and Lung Metastases, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 14 Jan 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 South Korea. 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 Seung-Tae Lee (82-2-2228-2446, LEE.ST@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

correlation between circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) before and after local treatment (surgery or radiation) and recurrence of lung metastases from colorectal cancer (time frame: about 6 month but additional extension for patients with relapse after local treatment). 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 14 Jan 2021.
