About this study

Our study established a model combine the in silico biology and empirical methods to identify clinically useful biomarker from information of microarray gene expression profiles in public domain. Through this method, we found trophinin as a novel prognostic marker for early stage lung cancer, which provide insight towards the process of cancer metastasis and the potential target for treatment.

Read the detailed description

This study was to combine the in silico biology and empirical methods to identify clinically useful biomarker of lung cancer from microarray gene expression profiles in public database.

Using the expression profile of a known metastasis suppressor, CRMP-1, as a template to search for and compare transcriptome expressions in publicly accessible microarray datasets, trophinin (TRO) was identified as the best correlated gene. The expression pattern of trophinin in a lung cancer cell lines of invasion model was investigated using quantitative RT-PCR. The role of trophinin in cancer metastasis was investigated by measuring the change of invasion activity in trophinin gene-transfected cell lines. The relationship of trophinin and the clinicopathological characteristics of lung cancer were further examined by immunohistochemical staining.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by National Taiwan University Hospital.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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 14 Sep 2005.
