About this study

Official title: Development of BioForte Technology for in Silico Identification of Valuable Genomic Features That Are Candidates for Microbiome-based Therapeutics and Diagnostics.

The goal of the project is to develop and validate the BioForte technology. Its main functionality should be to in silico determine candidates for novel microbiome-based therapeutics and diagnostics. Key challenge to be solved using the technology is to detect the differences in gut microbiome between oncology patients who respond to immunotherapies and the ones who do not respond to this treatment.

This technology employs machine learning methods to replace the laboratory procedure for finding valuable genomic features. Such features can be crucial to identify differences between the two populations (e.g. responders vs non-responders) to target specific strains.

The samples and data collected in this clinical study will be used for clinical validation of BioForte technology. For all patients treated with immunotherapy, stool collection will be performed per patient (one stool collection before setting up immunotherapy using anti-PD1 / anti-PDL1 and / or anti CTLA4 antibodies). Samples will be sequenced by long-read sequencing technology. In parallel, we will also collect samples of peripheral blood samples (PBMC) and biopsy (FFPE).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Microbiome, run by Ardigen at 10 sites in Poland.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 10 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Poland. 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 Martyna Balawejder (+48 883 319 890, martyna.balawejder@ardigen.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Microbial diversity in stool samples (time frame: Inclusion). 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 10 Aug 2020.
