About this study

Official title: Retrospective Analysis of Endostatin Genotype in Prostate Cancer Patients to Assess the Association of a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (D104N) in Endostatin and Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer and from healthy participants in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at blood samples from patients with prostate cancer and from healthy participants to identify a polymorphism that may help in the study of prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the incidence of the D104N COL18A1 polymorphism in patients with prostate cancer.

Secondary

  • Determine the incidence of this polymorphism in African-American patients with prostate cancer.

OUTLINE: This is a retrospective, multicenter study.

DNA is extracted from preexisting serum samples and polymerase chain reaction is performed to determine the genotype pattern.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 500 patients and 250 healthy participants will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI).

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2015. 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?

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?

Frequency of D104N COL18A1 polymorphism in patients with prostate cancer and in healthy participants. 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 NCT00900185, which also lists 2 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 30 Apr 2015.
