Trial summary

Primary lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies in China, with 57 percent of patients being diagnosed at advanced stage. At present, advanced lung cancer has entered the era of precise treatment. So it is very important to determine the gene mutation status of the tumor and prescribe drugs at the targets.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective and Observational Study of the Consistency of Gene Mutation Status Between Cerebrospinal Fluid, Blood and Tumor Tissue,and Correlation With Efficacy in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Patients With Brain Metastases

Primary lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies in China, with 57 percent of patients being diagnosed at advanced stage. At present, advanced lung cancer has entered the era of precise treatment. So it is very important to determine the gene mutation status of the tumor and prescribe drugs at the targets. Liquid biopsy is a suitable alternative when tumor tissues are difficult to obtain. Liquid biopsy technique refers to the use of human body fluid as a sample source to detect the information of related diseases, including blood, urine, saliva and cerebrospinal fluid. It is non-invasive, fast and simple, and can avoid the problem of insufficient sample size and support for repeated sampling to continuously monitor disease.

With the increasing incidence of lung cancer and the development of diagnosis and treatment technology, the survival period of patients has been extended, and the incidence and diagnosis rate of the brain metastasis of lung cancer have increased year by year. The brain metastasis of lung cancer is the most common type of brain metastatic tumor. The incidence rate is about 40-50%, and the prognosis is poor--the natural median survival period is about 1-2 months. Because of the impractical intracranial tumor biopsy and very low level of DNA in peripheral blood, cerebrospinal fluid, which makes close contact with brain tumors, becomes potential available samples. Several studies have shown that genetic testing of cerebrospinal fluid is feasible. Therefore, this study aims to test the cerebrospinal fluid, blood and tissue by the latest second-generation sequencing technology at different time points, to dynamically monitor the gene mutation status of cerebrospinal fluid, blood and tissue, to explore the role of cerebrospinal fluid biopsy in the diagnosis and treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases.

What participants receive

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

  • next-generation sequencingDiagnostic test

    1. Patients' cerebrospinal fluid, blood and tumor tissue were collected within 3 days before treatment at diagnosis.
    2. Patients' cerebrospinal fluid and blood were extracted at the time of first evaluation of efficacy after treatment (TKI began after 1 month or chemotherapy after 2 cycles).
    3. Patients' cerebrospinal fluid and blood were extracted at first time of tumor progression,and re-biopsy of tumor tissue was done as much as possible.

    All the samples were tested by next-generation sequencing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline gene mutation status at 2 months

    compare the gene mutation status of cerebrospinal fluid,blood and tumor tissue at baseline and after the first session

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Change from second line gene mutation status at 6 months

    compare the gene mutation status of cerebrospinal fluid,blood and tumor tissue after the first session and at the time of tumor progression

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PFS

    progression-free survival

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause,whichever came first,assessed up to 60 months.

  2. OS

    overall survival

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause,assessed up to 60 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Brain Metastases, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 9 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2017. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Delan Li, master (18676188892, lidl@sysucc.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline gene mutation status at 2 months (time frame: 2 months). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03257735, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Aug 2017.
