Trial summary

Renal cancer is frequent and its diagnosis mainly dependant on imaging. More than 50% of renal tumors are currently diagnosed without symptoms. However, 20% of small solid tumors are benign and this percentage is much higher in atypical cystic tumors Bosniak II and III, where 76% and 59% are benign respectively. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Study Evaluating the Interest of Cytology-molecular Tumor Markers Association for the Diagnostic Strategy in Adult Kidney Tumors

Renal cancer is frequent and its diagnosis mainly dependant on imaging. More than 50% of renal tumors are currently diagnosed without symptoms. However, 20% of small solid tumors are benign and this percentage is much higher in atypical cystic tumors Bosniak II and III, where 76% and 59% are benign respectively. Determining the malignancy by imaging in these cases is difficult and sometimes impossible. The fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology or biopsy is necessary. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity with biopsy are high, but the potential tumor contamination is a major risk. The FNA cytology is simple and safe, but its sensitivity is about 50%. We are conducting a multicentric prospective study to add the molecular markers in FNA cytology as a new diagnostic method in imaging-indeterminate renal tumors.

Four molecular markers including MN/CA9, vimentin, KIT, and S100A1 will be studied. These four markers have been reported to have a differential diagnostic value in renal tumors. MN/CA9 and vimentin are often found in conventional renal cancers. KIT is frequently expressed in renal oncocytomas and chromophobe renal cancers. S100A1 may further distinguish renal oncocytoma from chromophobe renal cancer. These markers will be analyzed by real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the association cytology-molecular markers in imaging-indeterminate renal tumors (small solid tumors and cystic tumors ≥ Bosniak III). About 156 patients will be included in five French clinical centers including Saint-Etienne, Marseille, Grenoble, Toulouse, and Nancy.

The expected results will improve the preoperative diagnostic accuracy in renal tumors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing surgery or biopsy of the kidney tumor in people with Kidney Neoplasms, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 7 sites in France.

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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in France. 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 was stopped early (reason given: No enough inclusion. The aim is no longer relevant. The sponsor decided to stop this study.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Histologic diagnostic (tumor) (time frame: after surgery or biopsy). 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 NCT00491621, which also lists 5 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 4 Jun 2015.
