Background and study aims
The Liverpool Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (LECMC) seeks to support early-phase clinical trials and laboratory-based cancer research in Liverpool, and through the ECMC network, more widely throughout the UK. One of the key strategic areas and objectives of the LECMC is to identify novel biomarkers of efficacy, resistance and drug safety in cancers including those of the pancreas, head and neck, breast liver and lung. In order to achieve this, the scientists and clinicians within the LECMC need good-quality prospective samples with linked data on treatments, side effects and outcomes. The biomarker discovery programme involves research groups within the University of Liverpool with interests in key strategic areas of the LECMC. The programme will involve the collection of samples from patients with cancer or pre-cancerous disease relevant to each of these groups for usage in research projects, specifically for the purpose of investigating biomarkers for cancers. The aim of the programme is to enable research which would identify biological markers for surgical outcomes, responses to therapy and early diagnosis from a variety of sources; with a goal of leading to the development of personalised treatment regimes, stratification of patients and development of preventative approaches to cancers.

Who can participate?
Individuals aged over 16 years, with any of the following:
1. Suspected or actual diagnosis of cancer of the head and neck or pre-cancerous oral conditions and individuals who have been treated for these conditions in the past
2. Suspected or actual diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and individuals who have been treated for pancreatic cancer in the past
3. Confirmed early, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer
4. Suspected or actual diagnosis of primary or secondary hepatobiliary malignancy
5. Suspected or actual diagnosis of lung cancer, thymic malignancy or mesothelioma and individuals who have been treated for these conditions in the past

What does the study involve?
The study involves providing biological samples and clinical information at different stages of cancer treatment.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The programme is not expected to affect the current treatment of any individual participant or directly benefit them. However, it is intended that this work will lead to new ways of diagnosing, monitoring and treating cancer. Most samples are intended to be collected at the same time as a planned medical procedure so no risks above those expected in standard medical care are expected. Biopsy samples may cause a level of discomfort. These samples are optional.

Where is the study run from?
The study is coordinated by the Liverpool Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (UK) and the Liverpool Clinical Trials Centre (UK).

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
February 2018 to March 2028

Who is funding the study?
Liverpool Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (UK)

Scientific titleLiverpool Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (LECMC) biomarker discovery programme and prospective sample collection
Study objectivesCurrent study hypothesis as of 09/11/2023:
The Liverpool Experimental Cancer Medicine Centre (LECMC) seeks to support early-phase trials and translational science in Liverpool, and through the ECMC network, more widely throughout the UK. One of the key strategic areas and objectives of the LECMC is to identify novel biomarkers of efficacy, resistance and drug safety in the areas of pancreatic, head and neck, breast, hepatobiliary, thoracic and haematological malignancies. In order to achieve this, the scientists and clinicians within the LECMC need good-quality prospective samples with linked data on treatments, side effects and outcomes.

The researchers intend to initiate a broad programme for biomarker discovery involving, initially, five research groups within the University of Liverpool with interests in key strategic areas of the LECMC. These are the Mersey Head and Neck Oncology Research Group, the Pancreatic Cancer Research Group, the Breast Cancer Research Group, the Hepatobiliary Cancer Research Group and the Thoracic Cancer Research Group. The researchers would like to collect appropriate samples from patients with cancer or pre-cancerous disease relevant to each of these groups for usage in research projects, specifically for the purpose of investigating biomarkers for cancers. In doing so they hope to enable research which would identify markers for surgical outcomes, responses to therapy and early diagnosis from a variety of sources; with a goal of leading to the development of personalised treatment regimes, stratification of patients and development of preventative approaches to cancers.

The researchers intend to initiate a broad programme for biomarker discovery involving, initially, three research groups within the University of Liverpool with interests in key strategic areas of the LECMC.

Amendment 02, to extend recruitment for a further 5 years until 31/03/2028, was approved on 11/04/2023, by North West – Liverpool Central Research Ethics Committee (Barlow House, 3rd Floor, 4 Minshull Street, Manchester, M1 3DZ, UK; Tel: +44 (0)207 104 8345; liverpoolcentral.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 19/NW/0298
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPancreas, head and neck, breast, hepatobiliary and lung cancers
InterventionCurrent interventions as of 09/11/2023:
Methodology depends upon the research strand in question and the specific condition that the patient has. However, for every visit for each part of the programme the relevant clinical and sample details will be recorded in a strand-specific and condition-specific manner on REDCap (the Liverpool Clinical Trials Centre REDCap system is a web-based application that can be used for collecting and collating clinical data securely in a manner that is straightforward and easy to understand for site staff, storing the data in a secure database at LCTC).

Most samples will be taken alongside either routine clinical care or medically-advised procedures. Samples taken outside of specific medical procedures already taking place are typically either non-invasive (such as saliva) or minimally invasive (such as blood). The only exception to this is the Head & Neck - Post Treatment Toxicity which includes the possibility of taking biopsied tissue samples outside of normal clinical procedures and medically-advised procedures. Some samples are from archived or diagnostically-taken Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissue. Tissue is typically tumour, however, there are some cases where adjacent areas (for comparative purposes) or areas affected by treatment are taken. All samples are voluntary and patients are able to refuse or agree to provide any or all samples at any or all specific points in the programme pathway.
