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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients undergoing radiation therapy for malignant disease will be eligible for these studies. Initially we will focus on specific disease sites, such as breast, prostate and lung, but ultimately we will expand this to include any disease site. Patients who met standard criteria for radiation therapy but ultimately did not receive radiation therapy will be used as a control arm if needed.

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Diagnosis of cancer
  • Undergoing radiation therapy for malignant disease

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Not specified

About this study

Official title: Molecular and Genetic Markers in the Local-regional Management of Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at molecular markers and genetic markers in patients undergoing radiation therapy for cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine local-regional control in patients undergoing radiation therapy for cancer, as a function of expression of specific molecular/genetic markers.

Secondary

  • Determine complications of radiation therapy for patients undergoing radiation therapy for cancer.

OUTLINE: Previously collected tissue samples are analyzed using immunohistochemical staining and other molecular/genetic study methods to detect markers, including p53, cyclin D1, HER-2-neu, bcl-2/BAX, and EGFR. Patient charts are also reviewed with emphasis on local-regional relapse.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematopoietic/Lymphoid Cancer and Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey at 1 site in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 May 2015. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

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 29 May 2015.
