Development of a Tumor Molecular Analyses Program and Its Use to Support Treatment Decisions

NCT ID: NCT01457196

Last Updated: 2019-12-30

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 2798 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2011-09-30

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this specimen correlative study is two-fold: to provide a mechanism for the association of known molecular alterations with clinical outcomes, and to provide rapid genetic profiling of alterations with known clinical utility using tumor and germline specimens to support treatment decisions.

Study Groups

Sequencing Arm

Group Type: OTHER

Tumor Genetic Sequencing

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

This study will look at genetic material from a sample of the subjects tumor, look at certain changes in the genetic material, and see if these changes are related to the subjects cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Current or prospective cancer patients; current cancer patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of cancer

2. Tumor tissue available and suitable for molecular analyses from at least one of the following sources:

• Tissue previously stored in UNC's Tissue Procurement Facility (TPF)
• Tissue previous stored at an institution other than UNC-CH, provided investigators can determine that the tumors were sampled and stored under appropriate conditions for inclusion in the study
• Patient undergoing tissue collection as per clinical standard of care and willing to allow specimens from surplus tissue to be diverted for research purposes
• Patient undergoing tissue collection as per clinical standard of care and willing to have additional specimens taken for research
• Patient willing to undergo biopsy for purpose of research only

• ≥18 years of age
• Treatment options offer no expectation of cure, e.g., advanced solid tumor patients with metastatic disease. NOTE: This restriction applies to biopsy of vital organs only, e.g., lung, liver, etc.
• Appropriate candidate for research biopsy based on institutional standards for target biopsy site

Exclusion Criteria

1. Any condition that would make participation in the protocol unreasonably hazardous for the patient in the opinion of the treating physician

2. Dementia, altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition or co-morbid condition that would prohibit the understanding or rendering of informed consent.

4. History of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction to local anesthetics (i.e. lidocaine, xylocaine) or any medications used for conscious sedation (if applicable).

5. Requires general anesthesia for collection of biopsy

6. Pregnant or lactating women

7. Active cardiac disease

8. Patients receiving bevacizumab less than 6 weeks prior to enrollment into this study should not undergo research core biopsies because of the concern for potential increased bleeding risk and delayed healing. (NOTE: Patients receiving bevacizumab who are undergoing a research biopsy of accessible organs (e.g. breast, lymph node, skin etc.) must be two weeks from the last dose of the angiogenesis inhibitor).

• Eligible Sex: ALL
