NCT05061342

Brief Summary

Our central hypothesis is that patient response to treatment, evaluated by full spectrum of outcome measures including tumor control, survival, toxicity, and quality of life (QoL), will correlate with biomarker expressions, which can be tested in the blood, other body fluid, imaging as well as tumor tissue (if available).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Tumor control, treatment toxicity, quality of life

    Changes of treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0, and changes of quality of life as assessed by PROMIS-29 Profile v2.1. from baseline, during and after treatment until 2 years after treatment. Tumor response, tumor control, progression-free survival (PFS), cause-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) evaluated until patients' death or lost to follow-up. Changes of treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0, and changes of quality of life as assessed by PROMIS-29 Profile v2.1. from baseline, during and after treatment until 2 years after treatment. Tumor response, tumor control, progression-free survival (PFS), cause-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS) evaluated until patients' death or lost to follow-up.

    Changes of treatment toxicity and quality of life will be evaluated before, during and after treatment until 2 years after treatment. Treatment efficacy including tumor control will be evaluated until patients' death or lost to follow-up.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Bio-Imaging-Repository-Databank (BIRD)

    Blood, feces, urine and saliva will be collected, whenever possible before, during and after treatment for at least four times (baseline, middle, at the end and the first follow-up around 1-3 months after treatment.

Study Arms (2)

Cancer Patients

Those with cancer.

Other: No experimental interventions 1. Observation; 2. Anticancer treatments, including surgery, systemic therapy, radiotherapy, Chinese traditional medicine, or palliative/supportive care.

Normal (non cancer) controls

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

All adult patients received any form of treatment (radiotherapy, surgery, systemic therapy, palliative and alternative cares) in the cancer center will be invited to participate. Patients with clinical diagnosis of tumor or related diseases such as hepatitis, gastritis, and Myasthenia Gravis will also be eligible, particularly should the patient be taken to OR for such treatments or being monitored for the risk of cancer developments. Healthy volunteers of various ages will also be enrolled from the general public for controls and setting up normal ranges of the interested biomarkers.

You may qualify if:

  • Cancer Patients
  • years of age and older.
  • Scheduled to receive any kind of therapy in our center.
  • Performance status of ECOG 0, 1, 2, or 3.
  • Able to understand QoL questionnaire.
  • Normal (non cancer) controls
  • years of age and older healthy volunteers.
  • Without a history of cancer except for cured skin cancer, without any active cancer.
  • ECOG Performance status 0, 1, 2, or 3.

You may not qualify if:

  • Participants who have supposedly limited ability to complete the survey questionnaires of the present study will be excluded.
