Trial summary

The project aims to collect fresh biological material derived both from surgical resections performed in diseases, neoplastic and otherwise, of urological relevance at the level of the prostate, bladder, kidney, testicle and genitourinary organs, and from peripheral blood or other fluids biological samples such as… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Creation of a Bank of Biological Material From Patients and Healthy Donors (Biobank) for the Study of Urological and Uro-oncological Pathologies - URBBAN

The project aims to collect fresh biological material derived both from surgical resections performed in diseases, neoplastic and otherwise, of urological relevance at the level of the prostate, bladder, kidney, testicle and genitourinary organs, and from peripheral blood or other fluids biological samples such as urine, seminal fluid, buccal mucosa, feces or saliva, when available.

Read the detailed description

Significant studies have shown the great potential of research based on access to biobanks which has made it possible to conduct studies and obtain important results through retrospective studies carried out on samples collected some time ago. Thanks to the possibility of accessing human biological samples collected and stored in biological banks, great results have been achieved in the medical field. The project aims to collect fresh biological material deriving from surgical resections performed in neoplastic and non-neoplastic pathologies of urological relevance at the level of the prostate, bladder, kidney, testicle and genitourinary organs, both from biological samples of peripheral blood or other fluids such as urine, seminal fluid, buccal mucosa, feces or saliva, when available.

The possibility of obtaining biological samples from the patient at the time of the first visit or the first biopsy and, subsequently, in conjunction with a possible surgical intervention, could ideally give the possibility of studying the disease from its possible onset to the possible intervention, evaluating the evolution and possible association with circulating diagnostic and prognostic markers. The establishment of this collection of research material will allow access to samples of extreme value for the pathophysiological study of the disease, its origin, mechanisms and markers of progression. The data obtained can also be correlated with the patient's clinical history in order to build an overall vision potentially useful in the design of new therapeutic strategies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urologic Diseases and Urologic Cancer, run by IRCCS San Raffaele at 1 site in Italy.

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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 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 Italy. 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 Anna Maria Ferrara (0226437795, ferrara.annamaria@hsr.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Biological sample (time frame: Baseline). 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 10 Jan 2024.
