About this study

Official title: Study Aiming at Researching Diagnostic Markers for the Recognition of Precancerous States, Tracking, Follow-up, and the Identification of New Therapeutic Targets for Mesothelioma in Patients With Atypical Mesothelial Hyperplasia.

RATIONALE: Studying levels of mesothelin and osteopontin in samples of blood from patients with mesothelioma or atypical mesothelial hyperplasia may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at mesothelin and osteopontin as diagnostic markers in patients with mesothelioma or atypical hyperplasia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine if mesothelin and osteopontin in serum can serve as early markers of malignant transformation into mesothelioma.

Secondary

  • Determine if there are cytological, histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular markers of precancerous disease in tissue samples.
  • Determine if SV40 has a carcinogenic role.
  • Determine the relationship between the serum concentration of mesothelin and/or osteopontin and the expression of other markers and with clinical progression.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Levels of mesothelin and osteopontin in serum (and pleural fluid, if effusion is present) are measured at baseline and 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Patients with mesothelioma, reactional lesions, or adenocarcinoma undergo tomodensitometry (TDM) at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. Patients with pleural plaques only undergo TDM at 12 months.

Patients are followed for 5 years.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malignant Mesothelioma and Metastatic Cancer, run by University Hospital, Caen at 1 site in France.

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 10 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Dec 2009. 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 France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mesothelin and osteopontin concentrations in serum. 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 15 Dec 2009.
