Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • To validate ITH index and WGII as stage and grade independent prognostic markers of progression free survival in patients with ccRCC mutation in a gene of interest

    Outcomes will be quantified using descriptive statistics with the intention of providing hypothesis-generating data for use in future studies.

    From trial activation until trial closure approximately 1st September 2023

  • CAPTURE Sub-study: Describe the population characteristics between SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative cancer patients

    Outcomes will be quantified using descriptive statistics

    From sub-study activation until trial closure approximately 2027

Study Arms (1)

All patients

In London renal cell carcinoma patients undergo nephrectomy at centres for urological oncology, including the Royal Marsden, Guy's and St Thomas', St Georges, Charing Cross and Kings Hospitals. It is not uncommon for the same patients to undergo palliative resection for metastatic sites of disease. The majority of tissue from these resections does not undergo routine histopathological examination. As such, it is ethically feasible to use these specimens for laboratory research in the presence of patient consent. Practically, these specimens are often large, thereby offering considerable scope for a range of molecular analyses. CAPTURE Sub-study: We plan to enrol patients/participants into three groups: Group A: patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 and a history of cancer Group B: patients without a history of COVID-19 infection and a history of cancer Group C: Hospital staff with or without a history of COVID-19

Study Population

TRACERx Renal: Patients with histopathologically confirmed renal cell carcinoma, or suspected renal cell carcinoma, proceeding to neoadjuvant therapy and/or nephrectomy/metastectomy, or identified as having progressive disease or in patients undergoing nephrectomy for non-malignant disease CAPTURE: Group A : Cancer patients with SARS-CoV-2 Group B : Cancer patients without clinical indication for SARS-CoV-2 testing (based on current local guidelines) or have tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 Group C: Volunteers without cancer (recruiting site staff)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18- years or older
  • Patients with histopathologically confirmed renal cell carcinoma, or suspected renal cell carcinoma, proceeding to neoadjuvant therapy and/or nephrectomy/metastasectomy, or identified as having progressive disease
  • Or in patients undergoing nephrectomy for non-malignant disease
  • Medical and/or surgical management in accordance with national and/or local guidelines
  • Written informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Any concomitant medical or psychiatric problems which, in the opinion of the investigator, would prevent completion of treatment or follow-up
  • Lack of adequate tissue
  • Documented informed consent
  • Age 18 years or older
  • Confirmed cancer diagnosis (irrespective of cancer type, disease burden or treatment)
  • Group A: Suspected infection with SARS-CoV-2 or positive test for SARS-CoV-2
  • Group B: no clinical indication to test for SARS-CoV-2 (by current Trust guidelines\*) or tested negative for SARS-CoV-2
  • Group C: Volunteers without cancer with SARS-CoV-2 (symptomatic and asymptomatic) and those without clinical indication (current national guidelines\*) for SARS-CoV-2 testing or tested negative for SARS-CoV-2
  • Medical or psychological condition that would preclude informed consent
