简要总结
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors select the best treatment for patients and predict their response to treatment.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying how well tumor tissue testing works in selecting treatment for patients with metastatic or locally advanced colorectal cancer.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary - Feasibility Study
- To determine the proportion of consenting patients that can provide a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded block containing tumor.
- To determine the feasibility of topoisomerase-1 (topo-1) IHC and K-ras, BRAF mutational status determination being completed with 10 working days of initial consent.
- To determine reproducibility of results between reference laboratories.
- To determine the real costs of molecular testing.
- To determine the patients' ability to comprehend the study and their attitude during the waiting period for testing.
- To assess patients' ability to fully comprehend the trial as explained to them.
Secondary - Feasibility Study
- To further identify the EGFR-responsive subset within the K-ras wildtype population.
