Study summary

This phase I trial collects blood samples to investigate the prevalence of changes in genes (genetic mutations) in solid tumor patient populations seeking care at Mayo Clinic Embedded Cancer Center at St. Vincent's Riverside. This may help doctors better understand and/or treat others who have genetic mutations.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the prevalence of genetic mutations in cancer patients seeking care at the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center at St. Vincent's Riverside in Jacksonville, Florida.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Perform a chart review to assess the impact of genetic testing as part of standard of oncology care:

Ia. Determine differences in germline mutation detection in these patients as compared to traditional guideline (National Comprehensive Cancer Network [NCCN]) based approach for genetic evaluation.

Ib. Determine the percentage of relatives of mutation positive probands undergoing family variant testing within a 3 month window of return of testing results.

Ic. Assess patient experience and barriers to care with a genetic service line via survey measures.

Id. Develop a biorepository of samples (blood) from cancer patients participating in this protocol.

OUTLINE:

Patients watch a pre-recorded genetic counseling video and those who consent to genetic testing undergo collection of blood samples. Patients also complete surveys over 5-15 minutes each prior to receiving their genetic test results and following the receipt of genetic test results.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Individuals diagnosed with any solid tumor cancer (stages 1-4) including, but not limited to, gastrointestinal, breast, gynecological, genitourinary, skin, central nervous system (CNS)/brain, head/neck, musculoskeletal or cancer of unknown primary
  • Blood collection is feasible (health, access and/or tolerability) for requested blood sample(s)
  • Individuals have agreed to participate and signed the study form

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals who do not meet study inclusion criteria
  • Individuals with an active hematologic
  • Patients who have had prior germline genetic testing involving a 40+ gene panel within the last 24 months at Mayo Clinic or St Vincent's Healthcare and available for review by the research coordinator at time of consent
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Prevalence of pathogenic germline mutations

    Will be assessed by each cancer site, age (\< 60 years old versus \[vs.\] \>= 60 years old), and stage (early vs. advanced) via descriptive statistics.

    Time frame: Up to 3 months

  2. Difference between prevalence of positive pathogenic germline mutations

    Will be assessed by cancer sites, age of diagnosis, and stage of diagnosis using logistic regression analysis across all cancer site groups, and pairwise post-hoc analyses using Tukey's correction for multiple comparisons across pairs of cancer sites, and chi-square tests of differences between age and stage groups.

    Time frame: Up to 3 months

  3. Rate of mutation detection

    Will be compared via genetic testing to clinical practice guidelines of traditional family history criteria within cancer site, age, and stage using logistic regression and pairwise post-hoc analyses as needed.

    Time frame: Up to 3 months

  4. Incidence rate of germline pathogenic genetic mutations in cancer patients seen at St Vincent's and uptake rate of cascade testing in families

    Assessed using logistic regression

    Time frame: Up to 3 months

  5. Incidence rate of germline pathogenic genetic mutations in cancer patients seen at St Vincent's and uptake rate of cascade testing in families

    Assessed using pairwise post-hoc analyses

    Time frame: Up to 3 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Differences in survey responses between patient groups

    Patients will be grouped by genetic test result (positive vs. negative), age (\< 60 years old vs. \>= 60 years old), stage (early vs. advanced), and over time (enrollment vs. after test results are received).

    Time frame: Up to 3 months

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jun 2020 to primary completion in Sep 2021, 14 months.

Of 371 non-industry phase 1 interventional studies under Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 48 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 28 and three quarters within 77. This study's 14 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 759 studies reached it within 44 months; a quarter within 25 and three quarters within 66.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 24, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
