About this study

Official title: A Clinical Test for the Treatment of Multifocal Lung Cancers Using Genome

The investigators are doing this research to see if they can use small tissue samples or fluid to develop a test that will determine if the tissue samples are related or not related to each other. The test will use the patient's DNA, which is part of their unique genetic material that carries the instructions for the body's development and function. Cancer can result from changes in a person's genetic material that causes cells to divide in an uncontrolled way and, sometimes, to travel to other organs. Currently, researchers and doctors know some of the genetic changes that can cause cancer, but they do not know all of the genetic changes that can cause cancer.

Read the detailed description

A frequent clinical dilemma in lung cancer care is the management of multifocal lung cancers. The management decision is based on determining if multiple cancers represent true independent primary cancers or related metastasis. This determination is critical to the appropriate staging of the cancers and treatment. Indeed, this distinction represents the difference between aggressive local therapy with either surgery or radiation therapy for primary early stage lesions, or palliative chemotherapy or best supportive care with appropriate symptom management for advanced stage metastatic disease.

No existing pathologic or molecular test is currently capable of making the distinction between multiple independent lung primaries from metastatic disease with accuracy. The recent release of preliminary data from the NLST screening trial, suggesting survival benefit for screening high risk patients with CT scanning, will only increase the number of patients facing these treatment dilemmas. The research team has recently developed a test that allows this distinction with great accuracy. This test allows determination of lineage between two tumors using the identification of large genomic rearrangements using mate pair next generation sequencing (MP). The test has been developed using fresh frozen tissue from resected lung tumors and is currently being validated for a clinical test.

The investigators' goal is to develop the test using cytology and small biopsy specimens.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility measured by being able to gather small samples from patients and having enough tissue to get results from the mate pair next generation sequencing.

    Performance of the mate pair next generation sequencing lineage test on cytology and small biopsy specimens obtained as part of routine clinical practice, through either a bronchoscopic, CT-guided needle procedure, or lung resection as evidenced in receiving results from the sequencing.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Neoplasms and Carcinoma Non-small-cell Lung, run by Mayo Clinic 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 6 inclusion and 0 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2022. 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 stopped early (reason given: Additional mechanisms/trials to enroll these patients exist and competed with the trial.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Feasibility measured by being able to gather small samples from patients and having enough tissue to get results from the mate pair next generation sequencing. (time frame: 1 year). 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 14 Apr 2022.
