A study of circulating tumor DNA in monitoring therapy and follow-up in advanced prostate cancer patients

An exploratory study evaluating the utility of circulating tumour DNA in monitoring response to therapy and in aiding the follow-up of prostate cancer patients using the palliative systemic therapy in hormone sensitive prostate cancer setting as a model. - CTDNA study

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To identify the mutations in the 32 genes from Qiagen Prostate Cancer Gene Read DNA seq Targeted Panel and subtract these mutations from the background germline DNA (from buffy coat DNA).Timepoint: Two years

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
2. To characterize these identified mutations. 3. To use these mutations in blood to monitor response to therapy. 4. To evaluate whether tumour burden relates quantitatively to ctDNA. 5. To use these markers (in a personalized patient specific manner) to monitor therapy and progression by quantifying the same mutations in peripheral blood. Timepoint: Two years
