Trial summary

The human oral cavity is a diverse habitat that contains approximately 700 prokaryotic species. The oral microbiome is comprised of 44% named species, 12% isolates representing unnamed species, and 44% phylotypes known only from 16S rRNA based cloning studies (http://www.homd.org/).

Study population: The American Cancer Society Cancer (ACS) Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort (CPS-II) was established in 1992; the cohort includes over 86,000 men and 97,000 women from 21 U.S. states who completed a mailed questionnaire in 1992. In total, 72 UADSCC were eligible for study, with completed informed consent and prediagnostic oral wash collection. The Prostate, Lung, Colon and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial is a randomized controlled trial of approximately 155,000 men and women. Participants are randomized to either a screening or control arm. n total, 68 UADSCC were eligible for study, including completed informed consent and prediagnostic oral wash collection.

About this study

The human oral cavity is a diverse habitat that contains approximately 700 prokaryotic species. The oral microbiome is comprised of 44% named species, 12% isolates representing unnamed species, and 44% phylotypes known only from 16S rRNA based cloning studies (http://www.homd.org/). Species from 11 phyla have been identified: Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Spirochaetes, Fusobacteria, TM7, Synergistetes, Chlamydiae, Chloroflexi and SR1 (http://www.homd.org/). Because these observations have been mainly based on data generated from traditional Sanger sequencing, the diversity of oral microbiome is highly likely underestimated. Application of high throughput sequencing to the oral microbiome similar to the scale of the microbiome studies of other body sites (GI tract, skin, and vagina) under the Human Microbiome Project is necessary to obtain data essential for understanding the diversity and community structure of the oral microbiome in health and disease.

Read the detailed description

The Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial and The American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study II (CPS-II) investigators have identified 140 UADSCC cases that have been frequency matched 3:1 (420 controls) by incidence density sampling for study (ACS. PLCO), gender, ethnic background, and age, within 10 years.

What participants receive

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

  • Classification of Oral Microbiome Using 16S rRNA gene sequence-based approachOther

    The sequence-based approach is selected because it classifies samples by considering the entire difference (genetic distance) in 16S rRNA gene sequences among samples analyzed, unbiased by artificial details such as taxonomies, sequence length, or even quality scores.

  • Classification of Oral Microbiome Using taxonomic approachOther

    The taxonomic approach is a complement to the sequence-based approach in that it will further identify specific taxonomic groups or species that can explain the difference found by overall analyses.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oral Cancer, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

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 0 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 9 Oct 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 United States. 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?

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?

16S rRNA gene survey approach for microbiome characterization (time frame: 4 Years). 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 9 Oct 2017.
