SPECTAbrain: Screening Patients With Brain Tumors for Efficient Clinical Trial Access

Withdrawn
Conditions
Brain Neoplasms
Registration Number
NCT02307604
Lead Sponsor
European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC
Brief Summary

The SPECTAbrain protocol describes a structure for screening patients with brain tumors to efficiently allocate eligible patients in relevant therapeutic biomarker-driven clinical trials. Efficiency is promoted through the creation of a clinical database of brain tumor patients and the respective human biological material biobank for molecular characterization. The main objectives are to:

* Allocate patients to clinical trials according to the clinical characteristics and molecular profile of their tumor;

* Identify or validate new molecularly defined subgroups of tumors;

* Investigate the prevalence of novel biomarkers to plan future clinical trials;

* Enable exploratory/future research;

* Facilitate establishment of quality-assured and validated tests for Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor biomarkers;

Inclusion Criteria
  • Pathologically confirmed newly diagnosed primary CNS tumors, with a focus on diffuse gliomas of grades II, III and IV, meningiomas from patients who are candidates for pharmacotherapy, and rare CNS tumors;
  • Availability of adequate Human Biological Material (HBM): FFPE tissue sample from the primary and/or recurrent tumor and/or metastasis, obtained at the time of surgery or biopsy; minimal amount requested is detailed in the HBM guidelines. Inclusion of samples taken at any recurrence diagnosed during follow-up is strongly encouraged but optional;
  • At least three months life expectancy;
  • Written informed consent according to ICH/GCP and national/local regulations;
  • Absence of exclusion criteria, such as active hepatitis B/C or HIV, second malignancies, severe organ dysfunction, or other comorbidities that will prevent inclusion into clinical trials.
