Trial summary

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Taiwan. The carcinogen in the environment is a key role in the development of lung cancer, and one of its main resource is tobacco. Activated carcinogens in the organism lead to mutations of crucial oncogenes resulting in tumor development. Read more about this study

About this study

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in Taiwan. The carcinogen in the environment is a key role in the development of lung cancer, and one of its main resource is tobacco. Activated carcinogens in the organism lead to mutations of crucial oncogenes resulting in tumor development. Genes such as Cytochrome P-450 family, GST (glutathione S-transferase) family, UGT (UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase) family, ERCC-1(excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency),ERCC-4 and ERCC-5,are encoding antioxidant enzymes or involving in the DNA repair process and the production of some transcription factors. In recent years, many studies have shown the correlation between these genes and the susceptibility of lung cancer. Each gene has a different role in the tumor development pathway. CYP, UGT, GST, NAT2 (N-acetyltransferase 2) and NQO1(NAD(P)H:quinono oxidoreductase 1) involve in the production of antioxidant enzymes. The antioxidant enzymes can detoxificate hydrogen peroxide or defense against oxidative stress. However, the genetic polymorphisms may influence the function of detoxification, which cause the increase in the susceptibility of lung cancer. P53 and MDM2 genes play important roles in the production of tumor-suppression proteins and the regulation of transcription factors, which may regulate the growth and the apoptosis of cell cycle and influence the susceptibility of lug cancer. The polymorphisms in ERCC genes may cause the damage in the DNA repair process which might also cause increase in lung cancer susceptibility. The overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor is highly correlated with increasing risk of the non-small cell lung cancers. The overexpression may induce the proliferation of cancer cells and the inhibition of the apatosis. Therefore, in recent years, EGFR has been widely studied as the new target of the drugs and the susceptibility of the lung cancer. In addition,the genetic polymorphisms in drug metabolism channel proteins, like OCT2 (organic cation transporter), ATP7A, ATP7B and ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporter may have influence on the metabolism, the efficacy and the toxicity of the drugs.

Read the detailed description

The current study is a matched case-control study. The experimental group is the patients diagnosed as lung cancer at Taipei Medical University- Wanfang Hospital from January 2010 to December 2013, and one healthy patient will be matched to each case as the control group. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the association between genetic polymorphisms and lung cancer in the Taiwanese population and to analyze the correlation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Taipei Medical University WanFang Hospital at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jan 2011. 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 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?

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.

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 20 Jan 2011.
