Trial summary

No accurate, inexpensive and non-invasive test for gastric cancer screening is currently available. The investigators' recent study identified a1-antitrypsin and other proteins as potential biomarkers of gastric cancer in gastric juice. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Diagnosis of Gastroduodenal Diseases by Proteiomic Fingerprints of Gastric Juice

No accurate, inexpensive and non-invasive test for gastric cancer screening is currently available. The investigators' recent study identified a1-antitrypsin and other proteins as potential biomarkers of gastric cancer in gastric juice. The aim of this study was to develop a novel non-invasive modality for detecting gastric cancer by measurement of biomarkers in gastric juice.

Read the detailed description

Patients and methods: The study consisted of two parts: (1) investigating the differences in gastric juice biomarker concentrations between gastric cancer patients and controls, and (2) screening gastric cancer using string test to obtain gastric juice followed by immunoassay for biomarker concentration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Accurate Diagnosis for Gastric Cancer

    Normal subject group: number of the subjects with normal alpha 1-antitrypsin level in gastric juice Gastric cancer group: number of the subjects with elevated alpha 1-antitrypsin level in gastric juice

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing normal subject and gastric cancer in people with Gastric Cancer, run by Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital. at 2 sites in Taiwan.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2015. 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 Taiwan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Dec 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Accurate Diagnosis for Gastric Cancer (time frame: 2 months). 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 7 Dec 2015.
