About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of polymorphisms in the IL-1 gene complex on the development of chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

We analyzed single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes for interleukin-1a, interleukin-1b, interleukin-1-receptor antagonist, interleukin-1-receptor type I, and interleukin-1-receptor type II in 400 normal control and patients (chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma). Genotypes were tested for an association with development of chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma by multivariable analysis. A second cohort of 1200 normal control and patients (chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma) was independently analyzed for the genotype associations identified in the first cohort.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis B and Carcinoma, Hepatocellular, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 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 21 Mar 2007. 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 Taiwan. 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 Li-Hui Tseng, M.D., Ph.D. (+886-2-2312-3456 ext. 7437, htseng@ha.mc.ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

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 21 Mar 2007.
