Liquid Biopsies for the Personalized Management of Patients with Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (LISA-HDGC)

September 20, 2024 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Liquid Biopsies (blood, Gastric Fluid) for the Personalized Management of Patients with Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer: a Pilot Project

Activating somatic mutations and methylation profiles identified by liquid biopsies could identify CDH1 and CTNNA1 pathogenic variants carriers with invasive diffuse gastric cancer undetectable by upper G-I endoscopy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Carriers of germline pathogenic variants in the CDH1 and CTNNA1 genes have the Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer Syndrome. Asymptomatic carriers have at high lifetime risk of diffuse gastric cancer (30-70%). Screening upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, even with multiple random biopsies, misses signet ring cell cancer foci. Invasive cancers can thus go undetected. There is therefore a recommendation of total risk-reducing gastrectomy, at least in carriers with a family history of gastric cancer. Novel screening strategies are needed. In this pilot project, the investigators will perform liquid biopsies of both blood and gastric fluid in asymptomatic carriers who refuse gastrectomy and in controls. The investigators aim to show that somatic mutations in a panel of genes involved in gastric cancer and methylation profiles are detected in a subset of carriers, and not in controls. These could be indicative of invasive cancer undetected by endoscopy, and would thus be a strong argument for risk-reducing gastrectomy. On the contrary, in the absence of somatic mutations in liquid biopsies, endoscopic surveillance could continue.

YES

IPD Plan Description

The procedures carried out with the French data privacy authority (CNIL, Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertés) do not provide for the transmission of the database, nor do the information and consent documents signed by the patients.

Consultation by the editorial board or interested researchers of individual participant data that underlie the results reported in the article after deidentification may nevertheless be considered, subject to prior determination of the terms and conditions of such consultation and in respect for compliance with the applicable regulations.

IPD Sharing Time Frame

Beginning 3 months and ending 3 years following article publication. Requests out of these time frame can also be submitted to the sponsor.

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

Researchers who provide a methodologically sound proposal.
