Trial summary

This study includes participants with pancreatic cancer who are undergoing genetic testing at Invitae related to their diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Our goal in this study is two-fold. First, we would like to research whether any inherited changes in genes may be associated with pancreatic cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: ARTEMIS: A Prospective Study of Patients With Early Stage Pancreatic Cancer Who Have Undergone Genetic Testing

This study includes participants with pancreatic cancer who are undergoing genetic testing at Invitae related to their diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Our goal in this study is two-fold. First, we would like to research whether any inherited changes in genes may be associated with pancreatic cancer. Second, we would like to learn more about patient experiences with genetic testing, such as patient understanding of the testing, health-related actions taken (or planned to take) as a result of testing, communication and action of family members based on test results, and psychological impact of testing.

This research study involves allowing collection of tumor tissue (from a prior biopsy and/or surgery), a blood sample, and sending surveys to participants for their opinion on the impact of the genetic testing as well as clinicians for relevant baseline and medical history information.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be contacted for patient outcomes survey completion at months: 1, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, and 60. Patients will also be contacted for survival collection every 6 months during years 3-5 post germline testing.

Clinicians will be contacted for relevant medical history, treatment, and survival data at the same time points.

At baseline, 3 samples types will be collected: 1. EDTA tube for germline genetic testing. 2. Streck tubes for whole genome sequencing and other analyses. 3. Tumor block from surgical resection. If block is unavailable 10 unstained slides are an acceptable substitute.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Germline Pathogenic Variant in non-BRCA/PALB2 GenePatients will receive germline testing and provide streck tube blood samples and archival tissue sample at baseline. After germline testing results have been generated and released, patients and clinicians will be contacted for survey completion at months: 1, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 and survival collection every 6 months during years 3-10 post germline testing.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Germline genetic testing
Strong family history of pancreatic cancer but no identifiable germline pathogenic variantPatients will receive germline testing and provide streck tube blood samples and archival tissue sample at baseline. After germline testing results have been generated and released, patients and clinicians will be contacted for survey completion at months: 1, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 and survival collection every 6 months during years 3-10 post germline testing.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Germline genetic testing
Negative germline testing and absence of strong family historyPatients will receive germline testing and provide streck tube blood samples and archival tissue sample at baseline. After germline testing results have been generated and released, patients and clinicians will be contacted for survey completion at months: 1, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 and survival collection every 6 months during years 3-10 post germline testing.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Germline genetic testing
Pathogenic Variant in BRCA1/2 or PALB2Patients will be offered enrollment into the sister trial, APOLLO (NCT04858334). Patients and clinicians will be contacted for survey completion at months: 1, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 and survival collection every 6 months during years 3-5.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Germline genetic testing

What is being measured

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

  1. Germline pathogenic variants identified on Invitae's 84 gene Multi Cancer panel

    Measured: Will be assessed at baseline only.

  2. Overall survival

    Measured: Will be assessed in patient and clinician surveys distributed every 4 months for the first year post germline testing

  3. Overall survival

    Measured: Will be assessed every 6 months for years 2 - 10 post germline testing

Individual data sharing
Yes: Invitae may share de-identified information and data generated through the study with third parties, including biopharmaceutical companies and biomedical researchers (e.g. academic), for clinical trials, drug development, and other disease-related research purposes. Only a subset of Invitae personnel will have access to PHI. The PHI will be stored in a secure location and will only be made available to Invitae personnel involved in the Study. Any academic publication of data analysis from this Study will use de-identified information only.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma and Pancreatic Cancer, run by Invitae Corporation 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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2022. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Low site engagement and accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Germline pathogenic variants identified on Invitae's 84 gene Multi Cancer panel (time frame: Will be assessed at baseline only.). The study lists 3 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 7 Dec 2022.
