About this study

Official title: The Role of Endogenous Antiangiogenic Factors in Gastric Cancer Progression

Endogenous antiangiogenic factors are related with gastric cancer progression.

Read the detailed description

Gastric cancers have been known to secrete the proangiogenic cytokine VEGF in vitro and in vivo. Tumor VEGF expression is correlated with the severity of disease in patients with gastric cancer and some authors have suggested using circulating VEGF as a prognostic factor or tumor marker.In addition to producing proangiogenic cytokines, recent data demonstrate that tumors can produce antiangiogenic cytokine as well. It has been suggested that, in humans, the generation of antiangiogenic compounds in the presence of a primary tumor suppresses the growth of distant metastases. This phenomenon has been demonstrated in mice and in patients with clear cell renal cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer. However, the presence of endogenous antiangiogenic cytokines in patients with gastric cancer has not been reported.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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 18 Oct 2012. 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 South Korea. 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?

Relationship between antiangiogenic factor and tumor, node, metastasis (time frame: One year). 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 18 Oct 2012.
