Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Subjects will be recruited via oncology, gastroenterology and surgical oncology clinics at Indiana University Medical Center. Healthy controls will be subjects without any abnormalities after a colonoscopy. Subjects with polyps will be those whose colonoscopy identifies adenomatous polyps (informed consent will be signed first and samples will be collected; after colonoscopy the samples will be identified as "healthy" or "polyps").

  • Diagnosis of one of the following:
  • Stage I or II colorectal cancer (CRC)*
  • Planning to undergo surgery only
  • Stage III CRC*
  • Planning to undergo surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with or without neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy
  • Stage IV CRC

  • Colorectal adenomatous polyps
  • Planning to undergo colonoscopy
  • Healthy volunteer
  • Planning to undergo colonoscopy NOTE: *Patients with previously resected stage II or III CRC are eligible provided they undergo blood sample collection prior to starting chemotherapy

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

About this study

Official title: Cancer Care Engineering of Colorectal Cancer - OMICs Pilot Study

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tissue in the laboratory from patients with cancer, patients with colorectal polyps and from patients without polyps may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at biomarkers in blood and tissue samples from patients with colorectal cancer or colorectal polyps and from patients without polyps (healthy volunteers).

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Perform metabolomic, lipidomic, glycoproteomic, proteomic, and genomic (OMIC) profiling using blood and tissue samples from patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) or colorectal adenomatous polyps and from patients without polyps.
  • Create an OMIC profile to predict the risk of CRC based on differences observed between patients with CRC, patients with colorectal adenomatous polyps, and patients without polyps.

Secondary

  • Create an OMIC profile to predict response and toxicity to specific chemotherapies, biological therapies, and radiotherapy for CRC.
  • Utilize a novel knowledge discovery tool (BioMap) based on literature mining and, in the future, utilize the results of the OMIC analyses to identify interactive molecular pathways that underlie the development and progression of CRC.

OUTLINE: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer are stratified according to treatment (first-line chemotherapy with fluorouracil [5-FU]/oxaliplatin or 5-FU/irinotecan vs second- or third-line chemotherapy with irinotecan only vs biological therapy with bevacizumab vs biological therapy with cetuximab vs radiotherapy).

Blood and tissue samples are collected periodically for laboratory studies. Samples are analyzed for metabolomics by nuclear magnetic resonance, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry; lipidomics, proteomics, and glycoproteomics by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry; and genomics (single nucleotide polymorphism biomarkers) by PCR. Vitamin D status is also assessed.

Patients complete diet-history and lifestyle questionnaires at baseline and once a year for 2 years. Healthy volunteers complete these questionnaires only at baseline.

After completion of study, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter. Healthy volunteers are not followed after study completion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer and Healthy, no Evidence of Disease, run by Indiana University at 1 site in United States.

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 18 Sep 2014. 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 United States. 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?

Metabolomic, lipidomic, glycoproteomic, proteomic, and genomic (OMIC) profiling (time frame: End of Study). 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?
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 18 Sep 2014.
