About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Technical Feasibility of Testing Circulating Tumour DNA for Homologous Recombination Gene Variants in Metastatic Prostate Cancer.

Evaluation of technical feasibility for Homologous Recombination (HR) genes variants research on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from plasma and urine of patients with a metastatic prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

The benefit of PARPi has been well established for ovarian (SOLO-1 study) and prostate cancer (PROFOUND study) with defects in the Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) system due to BRCA1 or BRCA2 variants. Somatic variants in HRR genes are currently researched by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). However, in metastatic prostate cancer, using formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, failure rate is around 30 % according to our retrospective datas, in agreement with the data of the PROFOUND study, highlighting a real pre-analytical matter when FFPE samples are used for NGS testing. Research of such alterations on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) extracted from plasma or urine could be a promising alternative test.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Circulating Tumor DNA and Metastatic Prostate Cancer, run by University Hospital, Tours at 1 site in France.

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 0 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 1 Mar 2024. 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 France. 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?

Circulating plasma tumour DNA (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Mar 2024.
