About this study

Official title: Genotoxicity Assessment for Patients Receiving Large Field Irradiation

The purpose of the research study is to evaluate an automated, laser-based technique for measuring DNA damage caused by radiation during cancer treatment in immature red blood cells.

Read the detailed description

Correlative studies: analysis of RT effect on genotoxicity by assessing cytogenetic changes (dicentrics), micronucleated lymphocytes (MN-lymph), and micronucleated reticulocytes (MN-RET) using peripheral blood of patients receiving radiation.

  1. document the kinetics by which radiation-induced MN-RET enter the peripheral blood stream. ii) benchmark the MN-RET endpoint against current gold-standard biodosimetry endpoints-dicentrics and MN-lymphocytes. iii) measure inter-individual variation in baseline and radiation-induced MN-RET frequencies. iv) in collaboration with several FCM-equipped laboratories, evaluate the transferability of the human MN-RET scoring assay.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neoplasms, run by Yuhchyau Chen at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 0 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 7 Mar 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 United States. 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?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure the Change in MN-RET in the blood (time frame: Baseline and 1 day). 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 7 Mar 2024.
