Biomarkers in Predicting Response to Cetuximab in Patients With Advanced Colorectal Cancer

Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Cancer
Interventions
Genetic: mutation analysis
Other: laboratory biomarker analysis
Registration Number
NCT01243372
Lead Sponsor
Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue in the laboratory from patients who received cetuximab may help doctors understand and predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers in predicting response to cetuximab in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* To determine, among patients with advanced CRC, whether the effect of treatment (cetuximab vs bevacizumab) on progression-free survival (PFS) depends on tumor BRAF V600E mutational status.

Secondary

* To study the relationships between tumor BRAF V600E mutational status, OS, and tumor response.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Previously collected formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded baseline tumor samples are analyzed for BRAF V600E mutation. Mutation status is correlated with clinical response and outcome data from patients enrolled on CALGB-C80405.
