About this study

Official title: Therapeutic Effect Of Luteolin Natural Extract Versus Its Nanoparticles On Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cell Line: In Vitro Study

In vitro study to examine whether luteolin and nano-luteolin exert an inhibitory effect on tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line by inducing apoptosis, and to assess if nano-luteolin has more efficient apoptotic activity than luteolin on tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line.

Read the detailed description

This study is conducted to examine whether luteolin and nano-luteolin exert an inhibitory effect on tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line by inducing apoptosis, and to assess if nano-luteolin has more efficient apoptotic activity than luteolin on tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line. The primary outcome is apoptosis, while the secondary outcome is cell viability.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing luteolin and nano-luteolin in people with Tongue Neoplasms and Carcinoma, run by Cairo 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 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 20 Sep 2017. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Safaa M. Baz, Masters (002 01119777824, drsafaaelbaz@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

gene expression of Caspase 3 to detect apoptosis (time frame: 6 hours). 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 NCT03288298, 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 20 Sep 2017.
