About this study

Lymphomas are a fairly common malignancy accounting for approximately half of all newly diagnosed hematological neoplasms, and they comprise the sixth most common group of malignancies worldwide in both men and women, With marked geographic variations and affecting more males than females within the age range of 1 to 85 years but peaking within the second decades of life (Oluwasola AO et al., 2011, Roman E et al., 2011 and Jemal A et al., 2010) . Lymphomas have traditionally been classified as either Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) based on the presence or absence of the Reed-Sternberg (RS) cell on histology. (Fitzmaurice C et al., 2017). Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHLs) comprise a wide class of lymphoid neoplasms that evolve from the clonal expansion of mature B, T and natural killer (NK) cells in different stages of development (Morton, L.M. et al., 2014 and Schmitz R et al., 2009). NHLs are the most prevalent hematopoietic neoplasms, accounting for approximately 4.3% of all cancer diagnoses (Sant, M. et al., 2010) , Of them, B cell NHL accounts for approximately 30% of all lymphoid neoplasms, followed by HL (8%) and T/NK neoplasms (5%) (Morton, L.M. et al., 2006).

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, naturally occurring, noncoding and single-stranded RNA molecules (18, 22 nucleotides) that function as post-transcriptional regulators by directly cleaving target messenger RNA (mRNA) or translational repression (Bartel DP. Et al., 2004). The discovery of miRNA has exposed a new layer of gene expression regulation that affects many physiological and pathological processes of life (Lawrie CH. Et al., 2013).

Many abnormal miRNA expression patterns are found in various human malignancies, and certain miRNAs play roles as oncogenes or tumor suppressors (Ling N et al., 2013). Certain miRNAs have been found to characterize various subtypes of NHL and have important roles in B-cell differentiation and lymphomagenesis (Zhang J et al., 2009, Malumbres R et al., 2009, Basso K et al., 2009 and Auer RL et al., 2011). Recently, many studies had shown that tumor cell-specific miRNAs were detectable in the plasma and serum of patients with cancer. Therefore, miRNAs may be served as good biomarkers for early detection, diagnosis, and follow up of patients with cancer (Cortez MA et al., 2012).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact shrouk M Galal, demonstrator (01117449592, shroukmostafa@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

microRNA16-1 (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05921812, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 23 Jul 2024.
