About this study

Official title: Novel Prognostic Markers in Renal Cancer: a Protocol for the Analysis of Paraffin Embedded Tumour Samples

The purpose of this project is to analyze tumour tissue from a group of subjects with renal cell carcinoma, who have been treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital.

Read the detailed description

Renal cancers have different clinical outcomes. The principal research objective is to study tumour tissue from renal cancer patients and try and understand why some cancers progress more rapidly than others. Further, another key aim of this study is to try and understand why some patients respond to treatment and others do not.

Keywords
Biomarkers, Prognosis response to treatment, Renal cancer
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Renal Cell, Kidney Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT01002937
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Tumour tissue, renal cell carcinoma> 2mm x 2mm of tumour tissue obtained from paraffin blocks taken from biopsies or nephrectomy specimens.

What is being measured

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

  1. The profiling of the expression of signal transduction biomarkers, gene expression, gene copy numbers and effect of mutations of the VHL gene in renal cancer and their relationship to clinical outcomes.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 18 Jun 2024. 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 Kingdom. 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?

The profiling of the expression of signal transduction biomarkers, gene expression, gene copy numbers and effect of mutations of the VHL gene in renal cancer and their relationship to clinical outcomes. (time frame: 5 years). 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 18 Jun 2024.
