About this study

Official title: The Effect of the Plant Hormones Strigolactones on Cultures of Dysplastic Colonic Lesions and Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the plant hormones strigolactones, on cell cultures of colonic polyps and colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Strigolactones have been shown to anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects in cell cultures of breast and prostate origin, partially by down-regulation of cyclin B1 and induction of cell cycle arrest. In this study the investigators intend to take biopsies from benign colonic polyps and cancer tissue, culture intestinal explants and generate immortalized primary cells as a platform to assess the effect of this plant hormone on cell viability, cell mobility, apoptosis and cytoskeleton modifications.

What is being measured

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

  1. percentage of cells with reduced viability after dose-dependent exposure

    Measured: 24 hours of exposure to strigolactone

  2. percentage of cells in G2/M arrest after dose-dependent exposure

    analysis of cell cycle

    Measured: 24 hours of exposure to strigolactone

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colonic Neoplasms and Colonic Polyps, run by Meir Medical Center.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 7 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Ido Laish, MD (+ 972-9-7473261, ido.lish@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

percentage of cells with reduced viability after dose-dependent exposure (time frame: 24 hours of exposure to strigolactone). 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 NCT02824835, which also lists 2 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 7 Jul 2016.
