Trial summary

One paraffin block is routinely used for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (Her2/neu) immunohistochemistry (IHC) assessment. Here, investigators investigated if picking two or multiple paraffin blocks for Her2/neu evaluation is an economical, efficient and practical method, which may reduce false-negativity of… Read more about this study

About this study

One paraffin block is routinely used for Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (Her2/neu) immunohistochemistry (IHC) assessment. Here, investigators investigated if picking two or multiple paraffin blocks for Her2/neu evaluation is an economical, efficient and practical method, which may reduce false-negativity of Her2/neu IHC assessment due to intratumoral heterogeneity.

Being tested
Dual or Multiple Paraffin Blocks, One Paraffin Blocks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dual or Multiple Paraffin Blocks and One Paraffin Blocks in people with Gastric Cancer and HER-2, run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 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 China. 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 Yingyong Hou, M.D. & Ph.D. (hou.yingyong@zs-hospital.sh.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The positive rate of cohort using dual or multiple tumor tissue paraffin blocks (time frame: 24 months). 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 NCT02852096, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Nov 2017.
