Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients are in-hospital patients treated in Xinhua Hospital

Who may be able to join

  • The tumor group patients were found to have renal or hepatic mass, plan to receive surgical treatment (except for radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, etc., which were not available for pathological examination). The control group patients were ruled out of tumor based on radiological tests and commonly used tumor biomarkers
  • Age ≥ 18 years old and able to provide written informed consent;
  • Have not received any systemic or topical treatment for kidney/liver tumors.
  • Cardiopulmonary, liver and kidney functions are able to tolerate surgery and can comply with research requirements.

Who cannot join

  • The investigators believe that the subject may be unsuitable for inclusion due to severe concurrent diseases, infections, and etc.
  • The subjects is known or suspected of other malignancies.
  • There has been another history of malignancy in the past 5 years.
  • Major surgery (surgery requiring general anesthesia) was performed within 4 weeks prior to screening visits.

What is being measured

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

  1. NMAP level study

    To observe the difference in the expression level of nicotinamide metabolism related protein (NMAP) in the serum of newly diagnosed renal cancer and non-renal cancer patients. Draw the NMAP ROC curve and establish the appropriate Cut-off value to analyze its sensitivity and specificity.

    Measured: September 2019-September 2021

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. NMAP plus other tumor biomarkers study

    According to NMAP and combined with other tumor biomarkers data such as AFP, multiple regression analysis was used to map the ROC curve and establish the appropriate Cut-off value to determine whether it is capable of distinguishing kidney cancer and liver cancer.

    Measured: September 2019-September 2021

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine 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 4 inclusion and 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2026. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Min NA Shi, MD (021-25076143, shimin@xinhuamed.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

NMAP level study (time frame: September 2019-September 2021). 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 29 Jul 2026.
