Trial summary

RLIP76 (Ral binding protein1) is a 76 kDa splice variant protein encoded by the human gene (RALBP1, 18p11.22). It is a multifunctional modular protein found ubiquitously from Drosophila to humans, in cells ranging from red blood cells to endothelial cells of the brain. Read more about this study

About this study

RLIP76 (Ral binding protein1) is a 76 kDa splice variant protein encoded by the human gene (RALBP1, 18p11.22). It is a multifunctional modular protein found ubiquitously from Drosophila to humans, in cells ranging from red blood cells to endothelial cells of the brain. Its expression more predominant in breast, heart, liver and less so in colon and brain parenchyma.

Read the detailed description

RLIP76 is shown to be over expressed in a variety of cancer cells. However, no study has yet been done on its expression on normal cells. The studies proposed in this project will study the expression of RLIP76 in blood cells of healthy human subjects in the population of North Texas region.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by University of North Texas Health Science Center at 2 sites 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 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Expression of RLIP76 in red blood cells and white blood cells of 100 healthy human subjects. (time frame: 3 years). 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 NCT00762801, which also lists 21 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 26 Oct 2016.
