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: One hundred and fifty archived tumor tissue samples from patients with iCCA or mixed HCC-CCA will be collected from five to fifteen research sites in the United States and Italy and/or from commercially available sources. No new surgical procedures will be required and no treatment will be provided as part of this study.

Who may be able to join

  • If required by law or local regulations (i.e., the sample is from an identifiable subject), signed written informed consent should be granted prior to use of the sample in the study
  • ≥ 18 years of age
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed iCCA or mixed HCC-CCA, who are/were eligible for systemic therapy (samples collected prior to initiation of the systemic therapy may be submitted for testing)
  • Have one or more formalin fixed and paraffin embedded blocks available. If blocks are not evaluable, 7-10 unstained, non-baked slides with 5-micron thick sections with at least 20% tumor tissue should be available. (Potential participants who are scheduled to undergo surgical treatment may agree to provide surplus of tissues not required for diagnosis and have to provide informed consent prior to the surgery.)

Who cannot join

  • Not applicable: Patients must meet all of the inclusion criteria.

About this study

Official title: Molecular Analysis of Oncogenes in Tumor Samples From Adult Patients With Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma or Mixed Hepatocellular-Cholangiocarcinoma

The primary objective of this study is to estimate the frequency of FGFR2 fusions in archived intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) or mixed hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (HCC-CCA) tumor samples

Read the detailed description

This is a non-interventional, observational study of archived human tissue samples; no surgical procedures will be required and no treatment will be provided as part of this study. Approximately 150 archived tissue samples obtained from patients with iCCA or mixed HCC-CCA will be analyzed for somatic alteration status and will include cholangiocarcinoma-specific FGFR2 fusion isoforms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimate the frequency of FGFR2 fusions in archived iCCA or mixed HCC-CCA tumor tissue samples

    Archived tumor samples will be collected and analyzed using a Next Generation Sequencing panel.

    Measured: Archived tumor samples will be collected through study completion, up to 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Determine the frequency of potential actionable mutations or genetic alterations in iCCA or mixed HCC-CCA

    Archived tumor samples will be collected and analyzed using a Next Generation Sequencing panel.

    Measured: Archived tumor samples will be collected through study completion, up to 18 months

  2. Formulate genetic screening recommendations for newly diagnosed patients with iCCA or mixed HCC-CCA

    Archived tumor samples will be collected and analyzed using a Next Generation Sequencing panel.

    Measured: Archived tumor samples will be collected through study completion, up to 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma and Mixed Hepatocellular Cholangiocarcinoma, run by ArQule, Inc., a subsidiary of Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, NJ USA) at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 8 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Italy, 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?

Estimate the frequency of FGFR2 fusions in archived iCCA or mixed HCC-CCA tumor tissue samples (time frame: Archived tumor samples will be collected through study completion, up to 18 months). 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 8 Jun 2017.
