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: Newly diagnosed and previously treated patients with CUP.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic or advanced unresectable cancer of unknown primary including adenocarcinoma, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, poorly differentiated carcinoma, or squamous carcinoma.
  • To be categorized as CUP, the following clinical evaluations must have been performed without identification of an anatomic primary site: medical history, physical examination, chemistry profile, blood counts, serum PSA (men), CT scans of chest/abdomen/pelvis, specific evaluation of symptomatic areas.
  • Sufficient Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded tissue from cancer of study will allow previously completed profiling panels other than for treatment assignment; however, FoundationOne profiling is required as part of this study. Adequate tumor tissue must remain, in the estimate of the consenting physician, to confirm genomic alterations in enrolled patients. Previous unknown primary available for FoundationOne testing. (Note: This FoundationOne® profiling is also allowed and is not required to be FoundationOne repeated.) (see Appendix A and Appendix B)
  • First and second line patients enrolling in this study must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0 to 2. Third line patients enrolling in this study must have an ECOG Performance Status score of 0 to 1 (Appendix C).
  • Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (Appendix D).
  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years.

  • Patients are considered potential candidates for treatment with targeted therapy.
  • Willingness and ability to comply with study and follow-up procedures.
  • Ability to understand the nature of this study and give written informed consent.
  • The presence of other active cancers is not allowed, unless indolent and not requiring therapy. Patients with early stage cancer who have received definitive local treatment and are considered unlikely to recur are eligible. All patients with previously treated in situ carcinoma (i.e., non-invasive) are eligible, as are patients with history of non-melanoma skin cancer.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who have received three or more lines of systemic therapy for cancer of unknown primary.
  • Patients who have previously received matched targeted therapy for the same Class 1 alteration (see Table 1) or the same drug.
  • Patients with treatable CUP syndrome, including the following:
  • extragonadal germ cell syndrome
  • neuroendocrine carcinoma
  • adenocarcinoma isolated to axillary lymph nodes (women)
Show all 12Show fewer
  • peritoneal carcinomatosis (women)
  • squamous cell carcinoma limited to cervical, supraclavicular, or inguinal lymph nodes
  • single resectable metastasis
  • Previously untreated brain metastases. Patients who have received radiation or surgery for brain metastases are eligible if therapy was completed at least 2 weeks prior to study entry and there is no evidence of central nervous system disease progression, mild neurologic symptoms, and no requirement for chronic corticosteroid therapy. Enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants are contraindicated.
  • Pregnant or lactating.
  • Psychological, familial, sociologic, or geographic conditions that do not permit compliance with the protocol.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Observational Trial Evaluating Outcomes of FoundationOne - Directed Matched Targeted Therapy in Patients With Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP)

The goal of the current study is to determine whether Foundation Medicine's next generation sequencing assay, called FoundationOne, will provide information that allows physicians to make treatment decisions using targeted therapies in clinical trials or FDA approved therapies, including "off-label" agents, that result in superior OS compared to historical outcomes for standard CUP therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT02628379
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Class 1, 2, or 3 alterations, with targeted therapyPatients put on targeted therapies matched to specific genomic alterations.
Site-specific therapy determined by tissue of origin testingPatients put on therapy determined by tissue of origin testing (e.g., CancerTYPE ID)
Empiric CUP therapyPatients put on empiric treatment at physician discretion

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of CUP patients who receive matched targeted therapy.

    Measured: Baseline visit

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall survival (OS) in CUP patients receiving matched targeted therapy based on FoundationOne versus internal control CUP patients not receiving FoundationOne-directed therapy

    Measured: Every three months until death, [20 months]

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neoplasms, Unknown Primary and CUP, run by Foundation Medicine 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?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 12 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 10 Jul 2018. 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?

Proportion of CUP patients who receive matched targeted therapy. (time frame: Baseline visit). 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 NCT02628379, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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 10 Jul 2018.
