MAGESTIC Trial: MiRNA in Detecting Active Germ Cell Tumors in Early Suspected and MetastaTIC Disease Trial

Recruiting
Conditions
Malignant Testicular Germ Cell Tumor
Interventions
Other: Non-Interventional Study
Registration Number
NCT06060873
Lead Sponsor
University of Southern California
Brief Summary

This study evaluates the accuracy of blood-based biomarker testing to predict the presence of active testicular cancer.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To measure the accuracy of the blood-based biomarker miRNA-371 to predict pre-operatively the presence of active germ cell malignancy.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study.

Patients undergo blood sample collection during screening and throughout the study. Patients whose screening blood samples show elevated miRNA-371 proceed to standard RPLND surgery. Patients whose screening blood samples show normal levels of miRNA-371 undergo standard surveillance followed by standard RPLND surgery at the time of elevated miRNA-371 levels. Patients may also have their medical records reviewed.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Primary tumor excised by radical inguinal orchiectomy and pathology consistent with GCT (seminoma or NSGCT)

  • Clinical stage of patient is either:

    • Stage I pure seminoma OR stage I pure seminoma with isolated retroperitoneal relapse or Stage IIA/B pure seminoma
    • Stage I NSGCT OR stage I NSGCT with isolated retroperitoneal relapse or Stage IIA/B NSGCT
  • Suspected retroperitoneal disease: Lymphadenopathy in the retroperitoneum with no lymph node >3 cm in greatest dimension with no more than 2 nodes enlarged

  • Axial imaging within 6 weeks of enrollment

  • Chest imaging (x-ray, CT or MRI) negative for metastasis within 6 weeks of enrollment

  • MiRNA-371 level drawn at any timepoint after orchiectomy

  • Retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy must be within an RPLND template

  • Biopsy of lymph node is not required, though if biopsy of the retroperitoneal node(s) was obtained, pathology must be consistent with GCT

  • Serum Alpha Feto Protein (AFP), β-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG), Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) - per the local laboratory assay <1.5xlower normal level within 30 days of enrollment

  • Age ≥ 16 years

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤2

  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria
  • Second primary malignancy
  • History of receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy
  • Patients receiving any other investigational agent (s)
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Accuracy of miRNA-371 to predict pre-operatively the presence of active germ cell malignancyThrough study completion, up to 5 years

The positive predictive value of pre-operatively elevated miRNA-371 levels in predicting active GCT will be determined by pathologic review of RPLND specimens.
