Clinical Trial Summary
Small bowel adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy, and there is limited knowledge about its
optimal clinical management and molecular background. The SBAMOL study is an observational
biomarker study that aims to identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers. This effort is
intended to lay the groundwork for personalized medicine tailored to this specific patient
group.
Description:
Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA), an orphan cancer, has annual diagnoses of 12,070 in the USA
and 100 in Denmark. Despite its rarity, patient management should prioritize evidence-based
care, but large trials are not feasible, leading to data scarcity and suboptimal care. As a
result, SBA is treated like colorectal cancer, yet its prognosis is worse, indicating this
parallel approach is insufficient. The grasp on SBAs molecular landscape is limited compared
to prevalent cancers. Scant mutational profiling studies, suggest SBA is a heterogeneous
disease where subsets resemble other gastrointestinal cancers. This underscores the potential
for personalized treatments, including targeted therapies and immunotherapies. Comprehensive
molecular characterization, using DNA, RNA, and T-cell receptor characteristics, can provide
much-needed strategic direction for patient care and future trials. Capitalizing on this, the
investigators propose a comprehensive molecular characterization aiming to develop consensus
molecular subtypes that can direct future trials and SBA therapeutic strategies.
The investigators hypothesize that a consensus molecular profiling approach can identify
subgroups of SBA with distinct molecular, cellular, and histological characteristics, that
will benefit from tailored treatment strategies using chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and
immunotherapy.
To explore this hypothesis, the investigators will: (WP1) perform molecular and immunological
characterization of tumor tissues from SBA patients (n=200) to establish consensus molecular
subtypes of SBA and define their biological attributes; (WP2) ascertain therapeutic avenues
tailored to each subtype and devise a molecular algorithm to prospectively categorize
individual tumors in real-time, laying the groundwork for molecularly-driven management.
