Genetic Study in Patients With Stage II or Stage III Colon Cancer
| Phase | Type | Status | Age | Sponsor | Protocol IDs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No phase specified | Genetics | Completed | Under 70 | NCI | NCCTG-984654 CAN-NCIC-CO9PATH, NCT00003833, NCCTG-98-46-54, CO9PATH |
Objectives
- Determine the adverse prognostic significance of 8p allelic imbalance (AI) in patients with colon cancer.
- Determine if patient prognosis is dependent on the region of 8p AI.
- Perform fine mapping studies to further localize the putative tumor suppressor gene(s) on 8p.
- Perform multicolor FISH to examine the role that 8p loss and 8q gain play in the prognosis of patients whose tumors exhibit 8p AI.

Outline
Matched normal and tumor DNA is analyzed for 8p allelic imbalance with at least 8 markers: D8S262 and D8S1825 localized to 8p23, D8S254 and D8S261 at 8p22, D8S560 and D8S136 at 8p21, and D8S1820 and D8S283 at 8p12. Normal/tumor tissue pairs are used for fine mapping studies.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
