About this study

Researchers are trying to determine whether certain microbiome cause cancer or whether they are part of the microbiome in the gut due to the presence of cancer.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this research is to learn about how the gastrointestinal bacteria (microbiome) can contribute to colon cancer, and how it may change due to colon cancer. In addition, we are going to study the features of the microbiome that can help predict recovery after colon resection. To do this, we are going to compare the microbiome from subjects with colon cancer to subjects without colon cancer.

Study participation involves collection of stool samples before and after your surgery, as well as samples of residual (left-over) colon tissue from your surgery. We would also like to collect optional samples from your follow-up colonoscopy. You may be in the study for up to 5 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. DNA/RNA Biomarkers

    Biomarkers will be defined by extracting DNA/RNA from tissue biopsies and stored for specific gene extractions.

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Microbial 16S rDNA Biomarkers

    The samples will be used to partially (V3-V5 region) amplify the microbial 16S rDNA genes through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR product will subsequently be purified and quantified before being sequenced. They will also be used for whole genome sequencing (WGS) and Methylation sequencing (Methyl-Seq). The RNA will be used for RNAseq.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Protein Measurements

    Based on our initial findings protein measurements may also be performed on any extra residual specimens.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer Colon and Gastrointestinal Disease, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 18 Apr 2024. 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?

DNA/RNA Biomarkers (time frame: 5 years). 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 18 Apr 2024.
