About this study

The aim of this study is to analyze the differential expression of the miR transcriptome in the distinctive stages of the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (C-SCC). In this aim the investigators plan to recruit a cohort of 20 patients suffering of C-SCC and to collect from each of them, biopsies corresponding to i) non UV-exposed areas ii) UV-exposed areas, iii) actinic keratosis and iv) tumoral regions. Total RNAs will be prepared from each biopsy and the miRNA profiles will be characterized using a dedicated miR array.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Arm AGenetic

    4 distinct biopsies will be taken

    1. in a non UV-exposed area (inner arm)
    2. in a UV-exposed area (external surface of the forearm)
    3. in a pretumoral region (actinic keratosis)
    4. inside the tumor

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. miRNAs

    We will select the miRNAs differently expressed between biopsies obtained respectively from areas of normal, pretumoral and tumoral areas (candidate miRs = miRs potentially involved in tumor transformation of epidermal keratinocytes). This will be assessed by analyzing in each of the biopsies from each patient, the expression of different miRs that are known to date, using a dedicated microarray, then by checking the data obtained by quantitative PCR.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Arm A in people with Cancer of the Skin, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 Jun 2011. 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?

The study was stopped early. 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?

miRNAs (time frame: 1 year). 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 Jun 2011.
