About this study

In this study, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) related miRNA and the target genes of related miRNA will be examined in order to investigate the role of miRNA in the formation of RCC and look for the biomarker of RCC.

Read the detailed description

Due to the lack of specific indicators for the early diagnosis of RCC, the RCC patients often have distant metastasis when diagnosed and their five-year survival rate is much low. Therefore, the biological markers of RCC are needed for early detection, early treatment and improvement of the survival rate of RCC patients.

MiRNA and tumor are closely related. MiRNA can control the important cancer-related genes and participate in the tumor cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and angiogenesis.

In this study, RCC related miRNA and the target genes of related miRNA will be examined,and the relationship between RCC related miRNA and the RCC pathological types, TNM (tumor-nodes-metastasis) stages and prognosis will be analyzed. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of miRNA in the formation of RCC and look for the biomarker of RCC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 2 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 21 May 2015. 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 China. 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.

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 May 2015.
