About this study

Official title: Exploring the Feasibility of the Molecular Pathology Model of Patients With Glioma Via Retrospective Research

Evaluate the diagnostic value of TERT promoter mutation in differ glioma subtypes and expend the application of the diagnostic algorithm to surgical practice

Read the detailed description

A total of 976 gliomas were enrolled in this study. First, in order to evaluate the diagnostic value of TERT promoter mutation in differ glioma subtypes, we conducted a retrospective cohort study included 753 frozen tissue samples of patients with different grades of glioma. According to WHO CNS5, all recommended alteration including IDH, 1p/19q, TERT, EGFRamp and 7+/10- were profiled using multiple approaches and a permanent diagnosis was obtained for each patient. Exploring the feasibility of the molecular pathology model of patients with glioma via retrospective research. Compare with the existing molecular pathology system, analyze the combination of IDH and TERT mutations and the feasibility of stratifying the prognosis of patients with glioma.

Moreover, to expend the application of the diagnostic algorithm to surgical practice, we developed a fast detection assay that could detect hotspot somatic mutations in IDH and TERT within 25 minutes and can discriminate TERT and IDH mutations from wild-type alleles with a minimum variant allele frequency (VAF) of 0.2% and 0.5%, respectively. We further validate the simplified diagnostic algorithm on frozen tissue of 223 patients with glioma in another retrospective cohort and performed this assay to evaluate the accuracy of the rapid assay.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Discovery cohortRetrospective frozen tissue and paired peripheral blood samples were obtained from the Huashan Glioma Biobank between October 2010 and August 2018. A total of 753 patients diagnosed with supratentorial diffuse glioma (WHO grade 2-4) aged 18-80 years were selected for the study.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Detection of IDH and TERT mutation
Validation cohortFrom January to July 2021, 223 frozen tissue samples were retrieved from the Huashan Glioma Biobank. In addition, 107 frozen tumor samples were used to assess the detection accuracy of the IDH and TERTp mutation rapid test. The accuracy of this qPCR-based rapid test was further confirmed by Sanger and targeted sequencing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the diagnostic value of TERT promoter mutation in differ glioma subtypes

    According to WHO CNS5, all recommended alteration including IDH, 1p/19q, TERT, EGFRamp and 7+/10- were profiled using multiple approaches and a permanent diagnosis was obtained for each patient. Exploring the feasibility of the molecular pathology model of patients with glioma

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 week

  2. Derivation and validation of a simplified diagnostic scheme

    Derivation of a simplified diagnostic scheme based on IDH and TERT promoter (TERTp) mutations combined with histology and evaluation of its feasibility of stratifying the prognosis of patients with glioma when comparing with WHO CNS5 criteria.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glioma, Malignant, run by Jinsong Wu 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 19 Apr 2023. 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?

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?

Evaluate the diagnostic value of TERT promoter mutation in differ glioma subtypes (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 week). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04924127, 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 19 Apr 2023.
