About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Multicentric, Proof-of-concept Study to Evaluate the Value of Circulating Tumour DNA in Follow-up of Patients With an Advanced Gastroenteropancreatic or Lung Neuroendocrine Tumour Under Everolimus +- SSA Treatment
Prospective, multicentric, single arm, POC study to evaluate the value of CtDNA in follow-up of patients treated with everolimus, with or without somatostatin analogues for advanced gastroenteropancreatic or lung neuroendocrine tumours.
Read the detailed description
Prospective, multicentric, single arm, POC study to evaluate the value of CtDNA in follow-up of patients treated with everolimus, with or without somatostatin analogues for advanced gastroenteropancreatic or lung neuroendocrine tumours. Inclusion is possible after proven progressive disease on CT and/or DOTANOC scan (at physician's discretion) and decision of physician to start everolimus ± SSA treatment. During the study, CT and/or DOTANOC scans (thorax/abdomen/pelvis) (at physician's discretion) will be performed to detect progressive disease and CtDNA levels will be measured from the start of the treatment. The changes in CtDNA levels will be correlated to the tumour disease progression based on imaging (RECIST 1.1 and or PERCIST 1.0 (if available)) and laboratory and clinical markers. Characterization of CtDNA will be based on detection of tumour-specific alterations (i.e. mutations, copy number alterations and DNA methylation) using next-generation sequencing, digital droplet PCR and a photoelectrochemical biosensor. The identification of tumour-specific mutations will be done using next-generation sequencing of tumour tissue.

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 20 inclusion and 34 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 7 Mar 2022. 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 Belgium, Cyprus. 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 Timon Vandamme (038212111, timon.vandamme@uza.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
