Trial summary

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer, and may help doctors learn how well patients will respond to treatment.

About this study

Official title: Multiplex Analysis of Serum Biomarkers for Prediction Interferon Therapy Response in Melanoma Patients

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer, and may help doctors learn how well patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at biomarkers to predict the response to interferon therapy in patients with melanoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Generate a comprehensive multiplexed array of melanoma-associated serological markers and validate it using serum samples from patients with melanoma and healthy control participants.
  • Determine changes in the profile of serological markers induced by interferon-alfa 2b (IFN-α2b) therapy.
  • Define panels of serological markers with prognostic and predictive power for IFN-α2b therapy responses in patients with melanoma.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Serum samples are used for multiplex analyses. Biomarkers to be assessed include cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, angiogenic and antiangiogenic molecules, matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs), melanoma-associated antigens, basic fibroblast growth factor, insulin-like growth factor I and II, thrombospondin, endostatin, angiostatin, vasostatin, and vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,716 samples will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Melanoma (Skin), run by ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group.

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 19 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Generation of a comprehensive multiplexed array of melanoma-associated serological markers (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT00897546, 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 May 2017.
