About this study

Official title: Morphometric Diagnosis of Atypical Glandular Lesions Using a Conventional Pap Smear From GOG-0171 Patients (Enrolled by GOG-Japan) With a Cytologic Diagnosis of Atypical Glandular Cells of Unspecified Significance (AGUS)

RATIONALE: Studying Pap smears in the laboratory from women with atypical glandular cells of unspecified significance may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at Pap smears from women enrolled on clinical trial GOG-171.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the diagnostic accuracy of using previously reported morphometric criteria for chromatin distribution, shortest distance between nuclei, and/or the ratio of nucleoli area to nucleus area in a conventional Pap smear from patients with a cytologic diagnosis of atypical glandular cells of unspecified significance (AGUS) to predict the presence of significant glandular lesions (i.e., adenocarcinoma in situ [AIS] or invasive cancer) and/or squamous lesions (i.e., cervical intraepithelial neoplasia [CIN2 or CIN3]) of the cervix.

Secondary

  • To optimize the diagnostic accuracy of using chromatin distribution, shortest distance between nuclei, and/or the ratio of nucleoli area to nucleus area in a conventional Pap smear from patients with a cytologic diagnosis of AGUS to predict the presence of significant glandular lesions (i.e., AIS or invasive cancer) and/or squamous lesions (i.e., CIN2 or CIN3) of the cervix.

OUTLINE: Previously collected slides from Pap smears of patients enrolled on clinical trial GOG-171 are assessed for nuclear chromatin distribution, the shortest distances between the central points of neighboring cell nuclei, and nucleoli area/nucleus area (N/N) ratio via morphometric analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of CIN-2 or CIN-3, significant glandular lesions (AIS), or invasive cancer as determined by the GOG Central Pathology Review of the loop electrosurgical excision procedure/large loop excision of the transformation zone tissue specimen

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Intensity of nuclear chromatin staining and chromatin distribution

  2. Distance between neighboring nuclei

  3. Nucleoli area to nucleus area ratio (N/N)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cervical Cancer and Precancerous Condition, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Nov 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 CIN-2 or CIN-3, significant glandular lesions (AIS), or invasive cancer as determined by the GOG Central Pathology Review of the loop electrosurgical excision procedure/large loop excision of the transformation zone tissue specimen. 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 Nov 2010.
