Clinical Utility of Circulating Tumor DNA in Gastro-Esophageal Cancer (CURE)

September 30, 2020 updated by: Morten Mau-Sørensen, Rigshospitalet, Denmark

This is a prospective cohort study designed to evaluate the treatment effect as well as predictive and prognostic factors with special emphasis on the clinical utility of ctDNA in plasma in patients with gastroesophageal cancer. Patients with gastroesophageal cancer are included in 5 separate cohorts scheduled for

  • Surgical resection + perioperative chemotherapy (cohort 1)
  • Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection (cohort 2)
  • Definitive chemoradiotherapy with curative intent (cohort 3)
  • Systemic therapy with the intent to prolong survival (cohort 4)
  • Palliative treatment without the use of chemotherapy (cohort 5)

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

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

N/A

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population includes patients with gastroesophageal cancer in five prospective cohorts. Neither WGS/WES on primary tumor nor serial blood samples for ctDNA are mandatory for inclusion in the study. However, it is highly encouraged to perform WGS/WES of the primary tumor. A retrospective cohort will be open for inclusion to facilitate initial hypothesis testing to be validated in the prospective cohorts

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

Gastroesophageal cancer Age 18 years or older Able to understand and sign written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients not providing informed consent
