About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Monitoring Metastatic Colorectal Cancers With Liquid Biopsies

This trial studies the monitoring of therapy and progression by collecting blood, urine, and stool from participants with colorectal cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. Studying samples of blood, urine, and stool from participants with colorectal cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Detection of mutated Kras in urine specimen of patients with Kras mutated metastatic colon cancer on first, second, or third line therapy.

II. Detection of new Kras in urine in patients without Kras mutated metastatic colon cancer on therapy which includes anti-EGFR antibodies (cetuximab or panitumumab).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Changes of the stool microbiome with chemotherapy and at progression of the disease.

DESCRIPTIVE OBJECTIVES:

  1. Changes in the quantity of mutated Kras, Braf or PI3K in urine deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) over the cycles of first line therapy.

II. Associations between the quantity of mutated Kras, Braf or PI3K in urine DNA, molecular make up of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), cell free DNA and progression over the course of first line therapy.

III. Feasibility of detection of exosome in the plasma of colorectal cancer patients on first line chemotherapy in Dr. Fabbri?s lab at Children?s Hospital Los Angeles.

IV. Feasibility of detection of tumor DNA in the plasma of colorectal cancer patients on first line chemotherapy.

OUTLINE:

Participants undergo collection of blood and urine at baseline, on day 1 of courses 1, 2, and 3, at restaging, and at disease progression. Participants may undergo collection of stool at baseline, on day 1 of course 2, and at disease progression. Participants also undergo biopsy within 4 weeks of disease progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection rates of Kras, Braf, or PI3K tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from urine in patients with pre-existing mutations

    Mutation detection rate will be estimated by gene and treatment cycle in each cohort. The quantities of mutated Kras, Braf, or PI3K will be estimated using means and standard deviation if the distribution of the quantities is compatible with normal distribution. Otherwise, medians, ranges and interquartiles will be used. The changes in the mutation status and quantities of Kras, Braf, and PI3K before and after starting the first line therapy will be estimated using contingency tables and plots.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Detection rates of Kras, Braf, or PI3K tumor DNA extracted from urine in patients without pre-existing mutations

    Mutation detection rate will be estimated by gene and treatment cycle in each cohort. The quantities of mutated Kras, Braf, or PI3K will be estimated using means and standard deviation if the distribution of the quantities is compatible with normal distribution. Otherwise, medians, ranges and interquartiles will be used. The changes in the mutation status and quantities of Kras, Braf, and PI3K before and after starting the first line therapy will be estimated using contingency tables and plots.

    Measured: Up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stage III Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8 and Stage IIIA Colorectal Cancer AJCC v8, run by University of Southern California 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2021. 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?

Detection rates of Kras, Braf, or PI3K tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from urine in patients with pre-existing mutations (time frame: Up to 5 years). 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?
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 Nov 2021.
