Cancer Genetic Testing in Ethnic Populations

Study Purpose

This clinical trial examines the integration of cancer genetic testing in various ethnic populations. Studying individuals and families at risk of cancer may help identify cancer genes and other persons at risk. The information from this study may provide an opportunity for cancer risk stratification and individualized screening in these ethnic populations.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04475640
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  • I. To determine the prevalence of genetic mutations in cancer patients from various ethnic populations seeking care at Mayo Clinic Arizona and Mayo Clinic Florida cancer clinics.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  • I. Perform a chart review to assess the impact of genetic testing as part of standard of oncology care: Ia.
Determine prevalence of pathogenic germline mutation detected by multi-gene panel testing. Ib. Determine differences in germline mutation detection in these patients as compared to traditional guideline (National Comprehensive Cancer Network [NCCN]) based approach for genetic evaluation. OUTLINE: Patients undergo collection of blood or saliva sample for genetic testing.
