Identifying MSI Status From ctDNA in Chinese Patients With Refractory Advanced Solid Tumors

Not Applicable
Conditions
Solid Tumor
Registration Number
NCT03596593
Lead Sponsor
Peking University
Brief Summary

This is a molecular epidemiological investigation aiming to identify microsatellite instability status from circulating tumor DNA in Chinese patients with refractory advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

This study is conducted in Chinese patients with advanced refractory metastatic solid tumors. A total of 8-10 mL of blood will be collected from eligible patients and used for extracting circulating tumor DNA. Blood-MSI status will be tested based on SPANOM technique developed by 3D Medicines Inc. Shanghai, China. Patients are encouraged to provide tissues collected from progressive disease for tissue-MSI testing (not required for inclusion).

  4. Time duration from the last time of anti-cancer treatment to blood sample collection for MSI testing ≥ two weeks or five times half-life period of anti-cancer drugs
  5. Signed the informed consent with name and time.

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of MSI-H across different cancer types in Chinese patientsTwo years
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of Lynch syndrome across different cancer typesTwo years
Concordance between blood-MSI and corresponding tissue-MSI statusTwo years

In patients who are able to provide tumor tissue samples, concordance between blood-MSI status by SPANOM technique and tissue-MSI status by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method will be calculated.

DNA extracted from each tumor tissue will be amplified by standard PCR using six microsatellite loci: NR-21, BA-26, NR-27, BA-25, NR-24, MONO-27. Tumors are designated MSI-H if more than two loci were instable, MSI-L if one locus is instable, and MSS if all loci are stable.
