About this study

Official title: Development of a Blood Test of Anti-IMP3 Autoantibody and Serum MicroRNA Signature for the Detection of Renal Cell Carcinoma With Metastasis and Metastatic Potential

This research trial studies the development of a blood test for detecting anti-insulin-like growth factor II mRNA binding protein 3 (anti-IMP3) antibody and micro ribonucleic acid (microRNA) in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or is limited to the tissue or organ where it began (localized). Anti-IMP3 is a tumor marker that can be detected in many human cancers, including RCC and is likely to be present in the serum (blood) of patients with metastatic or localized RCC. Alterations in microRNA expression has also shown to play a critical role in cancer progression and may be a promising biomarker for patients with RCC. Developing a blood test for anti-IMP3 antibody and microRNA in serum and tissue samples of patients in the laboratory may help doctors find and diagnose RCC earlier, find out how far the disease has spread, and plan effective treatment for RCC.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To develop a blood test by monitoring the titer of IMP3 autoantibody and/or microRNA (miRNA)/small non-coding RNA (snRNA) expression in patients' serum for the early detection of RCC and its recurrence/metastasis.

OUTLINE: Serum samples are collected prior to treatment and analyzed for anti-IMP3 autoantibody titer via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and total RNA via sequencing, microarray, and/or quantitative polymerase chain reaction (q-PCR). Previously collected tissue samples are analyzed for IMP3 via immunohistochemistry (IHC).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Presence of primary and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma by IMP3 autoantibody

    For the IMP3 autoantibody study, the results of IHC studies of IMP3 on the tissue sections will be used as golden standard to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Statistical significance will be set at P < 0.05 (confidence level of 95%).

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Presence of primary and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma by miRNA/snRNA signature

    For the miRNA/snRNA signature study, the patients' clinical presentation of RCC and its recurrence/metastasis will be used as the golden standard to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Statistical significance will be set at P < 0.05 (confidence level of 95%).

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Cancer, run by City of Hope Medical Center 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 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Dec 2017. 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?

Presence of primary and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma by IMP3 autoantibody (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Dec 2017.
