Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Circulating Biomarkers in Advanced Thyroid Carcinomas


Sponsor

IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna

Enrollment

10 participants

Start Date

Dec 15, 2022

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The study is aimed at all adult patients diagnosed with advanced thyroid carcinomas and well-differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTC) iodine-refractory, well-differentiated iodine-refractory thyroid (RAI-R DTC) metastatic carcinomas that are candidates for systemic therapy. By simple blood sampling and analysis on peripheral blood of circulating DNA (ccf-DNA), circulating RNA (ccf-RNA), and counting and analysis of circulating tumor cells through the use of liquid biopsy, molecular profiling corresponding to those obtained by genomic sequencing on tumor tissue can be arrived at, depending on optimal therapeutic choices


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is evaluating whether certain proteins and markers found in the blood (circulating biomarkers) can predict how well people with advanced thyroid cancer will respond to systemic (whole-body) treatments. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have an advanced thyroid cancer confirmed by centralized tissue review — including well-differentiated, medullary, or anaplastic (aggressive) thyroid cancer - You are about to start a systemic medical treatment (e.g., targeted therapy or immunotherapy) for the first time - Genetic profiling of your tumor tissue is available - You have measurable disease on standard imaging (CT, PET scan) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have already started systemic therapy for your thyroid cancer - You are not a candidate for systemic treatment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST4 EDTA tubes of peripheral blood for Multigene analysis on ccf-DNA and ccf-RNA

For each patient enrolled in the present study, 4 EDTA tubes of peripheral blood will be collected to be used to obtain molecular profiling during scheduled laboratory controls as per normal clinical practice according to the following time schedule: * T0 = basal collection before initiation of systemic treatment; * T1 = sampling at 1 month after the start of systemic treatment; * T2 = sampling at 3 months (+/- 1 month) after the start of systemic treatment at the first instrumental re-evaluation of disease; * T3 = sampling at 6 months (+/- 1 month) from the start of systemic treatment at the time of instrumental disease reassessment; * T4 = sampling at the time of evidence of instrumental disease progression within 24 months of treatment initiation. The following analyses will be conducted on the samples thus collected: * multigenic analysis on ccf-DNA and ccf-RNA at baseline, i.e., before the initiation of systemic treatment; * isolation, counting and analysis of CTCs at baseline vi
