About this study

Official title: Ex Vivo Gene Expression Profiling of Cervical Cancer Progression in Biopsies And Tissue Samples From Patients With Cervical Lesions

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research trial is studying gene expression profiling of cervical cancer progression in biopsies and tissue samples from patients with cervical lesions.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Classify cervical cancer progression at a molecular level using gene expression profiling generated from expression microarrays.
  • Profile gene expression changes of dysplasia and early carcinoma of uterine cervical tissue at a molecular level using expression microarrays.
  • Define a set of genes that classify the various grades of cervical cancer/dysplasia at a molecular level.
  • Compare the expression profiles of clinical data to determine how accurately cell lines model the in vivo environment.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo colposcopy and a cervical smear is taken for flow cytometry analysis. Patients also undergo 2 biopsies from one clinically abnormal or normal site. Tissue samples are analyzed by gene expression profiling using human expression microarrays containing approximately 40,000 unique sequences. Data analysis consists of defining a set of genes, containing new targets for biomarkers, that classify the biopsies into 3 grades.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing microarray analysis, flow cytometry and biopsy in people with Cervical Cancer and Precancerous Condition, run by British Columbia Cancer Agency at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: no funding). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Classification of cervical cancer progression at a molecular level using gene expression profiling. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Feb 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
