Trial summary

Familial gastric cancer accounts for 10% of all cases, but predisposing genetic variations is unknown except for CDH1 mutation. Because Germline mutation is believed to be a key aspect of cancer predisposition, we plan to recruit persons with 2 or more affected family members in three-generation pedigree.

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
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The investigator will recruit or invite the participants among persons who visit the clinic with a family history of gastric cancer. The investigator plans to recruit gastric cancer patients and non-patients in family with 2 or more affected members. Non-gastric cancer patients was restricted to persons over 50 years of age.

Who may be able to join

  • Gastric cancer patients and their first-degree relatives
  • Members in family with two or more gastric cancer patients within three- generation pedigree

Who cannot join

  • Those who reject the enrollment

About this study

Official title: Research for Associated Genes for Developing Gastric Cancer in Family Member With First-Degree Relatives of Gastric Cancer

Familial gastric cancer accounts for 10% of all cases, but predisposing genetic variations is unknown except for CDH1 mutation.

Because Germline mutation is believed to be a key aspect of cancer predisposition, we plan to recruit persons with 2 or more affected family members in three-generation pedigree. The investigators will perform a whole-exome sequencing using DNA from blood samples of families including gastric cancer patients and non-gastric cancer patients

Read the detailed description

1> Patient selection

Enroll criteria:

  1. Gastric cancer patients and their first-degree relatives and 2) family with two or more gastric cancer patients within three-generation pedigree.

A three-generation pedigree will be used for diagnostic consideration or risk assessment of rare variation.

Personal history will be acquired by questionnaire which asks smoking, alcohol intake, dietary preference, socioeconomic information and history of previous eradication of HP. For any family member with gastric cancer, age at diagnosis, histology type, methods of treatment or pathological reports will be evaluated.

2> Whole exome sequencing, variant annotation, filtering and prioritization After whole exome sequencing, functional annotation of genetic variants will be conducted using ANNOVAR.

3> Linkage analyses To perform variant and gene-based linkage analysis in pedigrees, data will be analyzed using pedigree-VAAST.

4> Validation using a genechip

Being tested
Positive result from pathological test
Medical subject headings
Stomach Neoplasms, Genetic Predisposition to Disease

What participants receive

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

  • Positive result from pathological testDiagnostic test

    Presence/absence of gastric cancer will be evaluated by upper gastroendoscopy or results of pathological test

Study groups in NCT03486574
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Gastric cancerPathologically proven diseases after upper gastroendoscopy and biopsy. Previous pathological reports and endoscopic image can be used.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Positive result from pathological test
non-gastric cnacerRull out gastric cancer by upper gastroendoscopy. The results 3 moths before enrollment is available.

What is being measured

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

  1. Genes with logarithm of odds (LOD)>2 in linkage analysis

    Based on LOD at baseline, candidate genes will be selected.

    Measured: 0 day (baseline)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer and Genetic Predisposition, run by Seoul National University Bundang Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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 18 Apr 2023. 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 South Korea. 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?

Genes with logarithm of odds (LOD)>2 in linkage analysis (time frame: 0 day (baseline)). 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 18 Apr 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
