Molecular Signatures of Relapse in Tissue Samples From Patients With Small Cell Lung Cancer Who Are Receiving Cisplatin and Etoposide

Withdrawn
Conditions
Small Cell Lung Cancer

Other: cytology specimen collection procedure
Other: laboratory biomarker analysis
Registration Number
NCT02250404
Lead Sponsor
University of Southern California
Brief Summary

This pilot research trial studies molecular signatures of the return of cancer after a period of improvement (relapse) in tissue samples from patients with small cell lung cancer who are receiving or planning to receive cisplatin and etoposide. Studying samples of tissue from patients with small cell lung cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about the changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer relapse.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To collect and analyze small cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumor DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA) from 3 human patients before and after relapse to identify the molecular signatures of relapse.

OUTLINE:

Previously collected tissue samples are analyzed via RNA sequencing and DNA methylation at baseline. Patients also undergo collection of tissue samples for analysis at relapse.
