About this study

Official title: Molecular Characterisation of Colorectal Cancer Peritoneal Metastases: Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis With Correlation of Clinical Outcomes

This project aims to characterise the tumour cell and tumour microenvironment of colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases, understand molecular changes leading to colorectal peritoneal metastasis, identify potential biomarkers and novel treatment strategies.

Read the detailed description

The peritoneum is the second most common site for recurrence in colorectal cancer (CRC). Cancer spread to the peritoneum (colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases, CRPM) cause severe symptoms in patients and lead to shortened survival. The only definitive treatment available is a complex and aggressive surgical procedure involving radical removal of organs and the internal lining of the abdomen.

The biology of CRPM and correlations with clinical outcomes has been reported in small numbers of patients. There has been limited research on how extended cancer mutations lead to metastases and how this can affect treatment or survival. Understanding how genetic mutations evolve in CRPM and the role of the tumour microenvironment are important for optimising treatment and prevent the spread of cancer.

This study proposes completing cancer genetic profiling on archived tissue removed routinely from patients who previously have had surgery for CRPM. High through-put laboratory techniques for analysing the genetic profile of CRC and CRPM has the power to identify mutation patterns than might predict for treatments and survival outcomes. The results of genetic tests can then be compared to clinical characteristics, such as survival and treatments received. Genes in primary colorectal cancer can be compared to those in CRPM to describe what changes during the metastatic process.

This study will help make progress towards better and personalised treatment options, identifying predictors of treatment success and long-term survival. Improved treatments and better selection of patients may ultimately improve quality of life and help patients live longer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of genetic mutations

    Descriptive analysis of the proportion of genetic mutations identified in colorectal cancer and their matched peritoneal metastases: concordance and discordance rates.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion differences of genetic mutations

    The descriptive difference in proportion of genetic mutations identified in primary colorectal tumours compared to mutations in colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases. Generate hypotheses about changes that occur during the metastatic process.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Correlations of results

    Correlation of results from genetic tests with clinical patient data. Identification of genetic mutations which are associated with differences in survival.

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Association with molecular subtypes and categorical variables

    Association between molecular subtypes and categorical variables to be measured by Fisher's exact or X2 tests. Associations with continuous variables will be evaluated by Kruskal-Wallis tests or ANOVA. Kaplan-Meier methods will calculate survival outcomes. Univariate and multivariate cox proportional hazard regression models stratified by tumour subtype will identify predictive factors of clinical outcomes. Results with a p-value <0.05 will be considered statistically different.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer Metastatic, run by The Christie NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 0 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jan 2025. 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 Kingdom. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Richa Garvia, Ms (0161 446 3000, removed_due_to_spam@email.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of genetic mutations (time frame: 24 months). 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 1 Jan 2025.
