Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • The number of participants with negative and positive mutation status for KRAS, EGFR and BRAF in LBC samples detected using the BioCartis Idylla Platform real time PCR kits.

    1\. Can the Idylla platform provide a standardised and effective method for detecting EGFR, KRAS and BRAF mutations in liquid based cytology samples for patients with lung and pancreatic cancer. Mutation detection increases the treatment options for patients.

    24 months

  • The number of patients with a positive KRAS mutation status in Cytolgy clot samples reported as pancreatic adenocarcinoma, using the Biocartis Idylla platform real time PCR kits.

    2\. Establish the mutation prevalence in population served by the Royal Cornwall Hospital. This could provide an avenue for drug development to treat pancreatic cancers

    24 months

  • The number of participants with negative and positive mutation status for KRAS, EGFR and BRAF in blood plasma samples detected using the BioCartis Idylla Platform real time PCR kits.

    3\. Testing for mutations in the blood samples and directly comparing it with mutations seen in the cytology samples, will provide valuable information in the reliance of blood tests for cancer diagnosis. Potentially eliminating the need for invasive procedures in the future.

    24 months

Study Arms (3)

EGFR, KRAS, BRAF Lung adenocarcinoma LBC

EXPERIMENTAL

Will use residual material from existing LBC cytology samples sent to the laboratory. Routine testing will take priority. Cases identified as non small cell lung carcinoma will have the residual LBC sample tested on the Idylla platform for EGFR, KRAS and BRAF. The EGFR, KRAS and BRAF mutation results obtained using the routine diagnostic procedure (FFPE samples) will be compared to those produced using the LBC samples.

Diagnostic Test: Biocartis Idylla platform - real time PCR detecting EGFR, KRAS and BRAF mutations in liquid based cytology and blood plasma samples

KRAS Pancreatic adenocarcinoma

EXPERIMENTAL

Will involve testing archived FFPE clot samples from confirmed pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients since 2014 (Approximately 20 cases per year). KRAS testing will be performed using the Idylla platform to establish if there is a KRAS codon 12 mutation present in 94% percent of the cases reported at RCHT. Patients will have consented to the use of their tissue at the time of procedure. Prospectively new patients diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma will have KRAS testing on the FFPE clot made as part of the routine diagnostic work up and KRAS testing on the LBC sample.

Diagnostic Test: Biocartis Idylla platform - real time PCR detecting EGFR, KRAS and BRAF mutations in liquid based cytology and blood plasma samples

EGFR, KRAS, BRAF Blood plasma

EXPERIMENTAL

Will involve a blood sample being taken at the time of the procedure from patients that have a clinical suspicion of having lung or pancreatic cancer. The single blood sample will be taken from the cannula inserted for the procedure. The blood sample will be processed using the Biocartis Idylla ™ circulating tumour cell cartridges (EFGR, KRAS and BRAF for lung and KRAS for pancreas).

Interventions

Automated real time PCR mutation analysis - 1. Can the Idylla platform provide a standardised and effective method for detecting EGFR, KRAS and BRAF mutations in blood and liquid based cytology samples for patients with lung and pancreatic cancer. Mutation detection increases the treatment options for patients.
