About this study

The primary objective of this study is to analyse the concentration dopamine and serotonin in thrombocytes of patients with renal cell carcinoma and neuro-endocrine tumours compared to the concentrations of these catecholamines in healthy volunteers. The concentration dopamine and serotonin in thrombocytes with and without medication will also be evaluated.

  • To analyse the concentration catecholamines in thrombocytes of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma and low grade neuroendocrine tumours.
  • To compare these concentrations with the concentrations catecholamines in thrombocytes of healthy controls.
  • To analyse the concentration catecholamines in thrombocytes of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma and patients with low grade neuroendocrine tumours with and without medication.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood sampling by vena punction.Other

    We obtain 10mL blood of the patients. The blood is obtained twice: once with angiogenesis inhibitors or mTOR inhibitors, and once without.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carcinoma and Carcinoma, Renal Cell, run by University Medical Center Groningen at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 6 May 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 Netherlands. 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?

Difference in concentrations DA and 5-HT in thrombocytes of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma and healthy controls, and patients with low grade neuroendocrine tumours and healthy controls. (time frame: one year). 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 6 May 2024.
