ChemoINTEL Assay Algorithm Development Study: In-Vitro Cytotoxic Drug Induced Apoptosis Correlation with Patient Clinical Response to Administered Chemotherapy in Patients (ChemoINtel)

February 25, 2025 updated by: Pierian Biosciences

ChemoINTEL Assay Algorithm Development Study: In-Vitro Cytotoxic Drug Induced Apoptosis Correlation with Patient Clinical Response to Administered Chemotherapy in Patients with Advanced Stage Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.

This is a prospective, non-randomized, observational, clinical development study. Pierian Biosciences is utilizing ChemoINTEL and ImmunoINTEL assay measurements in human tumour cells from patients with advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) to develop a mathematical algorithm which will be able to predict a patient's tumour's sensitivity to specific chemotherapy drugs. The study involves using a sample of tumour biopsy taken during standard of care surgery, with a matched blood sample if possible. Medical history, pathology information and information on chemotherapy for up to 6 cycles will be requested. The information will then be used to developed an algorithm to predict tumour sensitivity to treatment.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The justification for this study is to provide evidence based predictive scoring of available cytotoxic drug based on the patient's own tumour response characteristics to guide the physician's therapeutic selections and enable a personalized treatment plan. This study will generate a predictive algorithm using individual patient tumour ChemoINTEL and ImmunoINTEL assay response metrics paired with the patient's clinical response data. Subsequent Clinical Validation and Clinical Utility Studies will be conducted to provide further evidence for utilization of personalized predictive response scoring of available therapeutics enabling section of personalized treatment regiments based on each patient's unique tumour as an improvement over guideline driven approaches.

Cancer treatments and selection of cytotoxic drugs used in different situations continues to be guideline driven. These selections are generally based on treatment protocols developed as a result of large, population-based, prospective, randomized, multicenter, well-controlled phase 3 studies that analyze treatment outcomes (progression-free survival [PFS] and overall survival [OS]) as a function of treatment received by patient cohorts. This approach was necessitated by the stark reality that no "predictive" or "treatment-directing" diagnostic technologies were available, a circumstance that, to an overwhelming degree, remains unaltered. Treatment "guidelines" are utilized by most oncologists globally as they recommend treatment algorithms and options based on data with the highest levels of evidence. Several treatment guidelines are available globally such as those produced by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO). These guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations to guide physicians and outline appropriate methods of treatment and care. The guidelines often address specific clinical situations (disease oriented) on the use of approved medical products, procedures, or tests (modality oriented).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
