Trial summary

Although colorectal cancer is a preventable and curable disease if early stage tumors are removed, it is still the fourth cause of cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of death in many industrialized countries. The 5-year survival is about 55% often due to a late detection. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Modification of the Expression and the Localization of DMBT1 (Deleted in Malignant Brain Tumor 1) in Colorectal Cancer

Although colorectal cancer is a preventable and curable disease if early stage tumors are removed, it is still the fourth cause of cancer worldwide and the second leading cause of death in many industrialized countries. The 5-year survival is about 55% often due to a late detection. Then, the identification of sensitive and specific molecular markers is therefore a major challenge for early diagnosis and prognosis of this disease.

Preliminary work have reported variations in the expression of DMBT1 (deleted in malignant brain tumor 1), a glycoprotein co-secreted with mucins in the light of the glands, during several stages of colon carcinogenesis. The goal of this study is to study by mass spectrometry (MS), alterations in the repertoire of glycosylation of mucins from colorectal tumors of various stages, grades, and recurrence status.

What is being measured

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

  1. Semi-quantitative determination of the histological expression of DMBT1

    The expression of DMTB1 will be determined by observation of the slides after immunohistochemistry using an anti-DMBT1 antibody

    Measured: at baseline

  2. Determination of the histological localisation of DMBT1

    The localisation of DMTB1 will be determined by observation of slides after immunohistochemistry using an anti-DMBT1 antibody

    Measured: at baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of DMBT1 Protein, Human and Colorectal Cancer, run by Lille Catholic University.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Semi-quantitative determination of the histological expression of DMBT1 (time frame: at baseline). 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?
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 Sep 2016.
