About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study Of The Prognostic Significance Of Microsatellite Instability In Patients With Early Age-Of-Onset Colorectal Cancer

RATIONALE: Identifying gene mutations (microsatellite instability) may allow doctors to plan effective treatment for patients who develop colorectal cancer at an early age.

PURPOSE: Genetic trial to determine the significance of gene mutations in helping predict the outcome of treatment in patients who develop stage I, stage II, or stage III colorectal cancer at an early age.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate the prognostic significance (e.g., overall survival) of microsatellite instability (MSI) status in patients with early age-of-onset stage I-III colorectal cancer, assuming the presence of a quantitative interaction between MSI status and family history of cancer.
  • Evaluate the development of metachronous neoplasms in this patient population.
  • Evaluate the histologic features and genetic changes associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to family history using the Amsterdam II criteria for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (positive vs negative).

Patients undergo baseline colonoscopy before or within 6 months of initial curative resection and then surveillance colonoscopy at 1, 3, and 5 years (+/- 6 months) after resection. The number, size, location, histology, and method of removal of polyps are documented at the time of colonoscopy. Patients also undergo microsatellite instability (MSI) status testing and complete family history questionnaires at baseline.

The prognostic significance of family history and MSI status is evaluated. The individual histologic features of the tumors are compared with the MSI status to determine their predictive value. The histologic features are also correlated with outcome to determine their prognostic significance.

Patients may be referred for genetic counseling.

A certificate of confidentiality protecting the identity of research participants in this project has been issued by the National Cancer Institute.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 73 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 6 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 73 sites in United States, Canada. 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?

overall survival (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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 Jul 2016.
