Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a non-interventional observational study of EGFR gene somatic mutations in lung cancer patients in NZ. Epidermal growth factor receptor gene somatic mutations will be studied by review of test reports and retesting of samples issued and referred to Labplus medical laboratory at Auckland city hospital using polymerase chain reaction based techniques. Samples to be studied will be those referred to LabPLUS medical laboratory for routine epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutation testing. Each sample will be tested upon referral as part of standard care. Remnant samples remaining after routine testing will be stored and batched for future quality control retesting as per routine laboratory practice. As this is an observational non-interventional study it requires no direct involvement of its participants.

A study protocol amendment was prepared for the purposes of extending and expanding the population-based patient cohort study in order to more precisely determine the prevalence of genetic-defined forms of lung cancer in the New Zealand population; to include ALK, BRAF, EGFR, HER2, MET, RET and ROS-1 mutation-positive lung cancer; to understand the clinical and statistical significance of variations in disease prevalence between ethnic and other New Zealand population groups, and; to collect mature data on mortality and other clinical outcomes.
