Trial summary

This is a multicentric feasibility study aimed to evaluate the Oncoral® test. The study includes 2 steps. The first one aims to validate the algorithm defined at the time when the test was developed in patients with different tumour stages. Patients will be enrolled before any treatment.

About this study

This is a multicentric feasibility study aimed to evaluate the Oncoral® test. The study includes 2 steps. The first one aims to validate the algorithm defined at the time when the test was developed in patients with different tumour stages. Patients will be enrolled before any treatment. They will immediately undergo the test. No follow-up will be realized. In total, 100 patients will be included in this first step. The estimated period of inclusion is 6 months.

If the algorithm is validated, the second step of the study will start. The purpose is to determine the characteristics of the test. Enrollment will concern smokers and alcohol drinkers at high risk of developing an epidermoid carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract. Patient follow-up will vary with both the result of the test and the biopsy, up to a maximum of one year. In total, 385 patients will be enrolled in this step during an estimated period of 18 months.

What participants receive

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

  • Oncoral® testDevice

    The patient rinses his oral cavity for 2 minutes. Then he screws lid back onto a beaker. The investigator holds the beaker straight so that the end of the aspiration mouth is dipped into the liquid. Then, the investigators takes 2 tubes and pushes them one after the other down on the opening of the beaker. The tubes should fill by themselves. The tubes can't be kept more than eleven days and are send to the Clinident Institute for the analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. First step: Confirm that the parameters used for the development of the test to qualify it as positive or negative lead to the same level of sensitivity (98%)

    The algorithm was first defined when the test was developed in patients on different tumour stages .

    Measured: 1 year after the beginning of enrollment

  2. Second step: Determine the characteristics of the Oncoral® test

    Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value.

    Measured: 2 years after the beginning of the second step enrolment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. First step: Estimation of test sensitivity

    Sensitivity will be assessed by the calculation : true positives / (true positives + false negatives)

    Measured: 1 year after the beginning of enrolment

  2. Second step : Estimation of test feasibility

    Feasibility will be assessed by :

    • the rate of patients who were not able to realise the test (difficulty to rinse the oral cavity)
    • the rate of tests that cannot be analysed (inadequate tests, problems of stability, difficulties with the extraction of volatile molecules, DNA or mRNA...) If the rate of unusable tests is greater than 10%, corrective actions will be necessary in order to use this test in the future. These actions will be considered according to the type of problems (adjustments of the test, transport...)

    Measured: 2 years after the beginning of the second step enrolment

  3. Second step: Estimation of the prevalence of epidermoid carcinoma of the upper aerodigestive tract in the target population

    Measured: 3 years after the beginning of the second step enrolment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oncoral® test in people with Carcinoma, run by Centre Leon Berard at 8 sites 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 13 inclusion and 13 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 2 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites 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?

Contact Sophie DUSSART, MD (+33 478 78 27 52, sophie.dussart@lyon.unicancer.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

First step: Confirm that the parameters used for the development of the test to qualify it as positive or negative lead to the same level of sensitivity (98%) (time frame: 1 year after the beginning of enrollment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01361100, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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 2 Oct 2012.
