About this study

Official title: Association Of Prognosis And BRAF V600E Mutations In Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to determine whether BRAF V600E mutation in our patients with papillary thyroid cancer has an association with poor prognosis.

Read the detailed description

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid malignancy and BRAF V600E mutation is the most common genetic alteration identified in PTC, ranging from 25 to 80%, with the average rate about 45%. Various studies demonstrated a relationship between BRAF V600E mutation and aggressive characteristics of the cancer, including the worse patient prognosis. But,there are no studies from Turkey regarding this topic. So the investigators will examine BRAF V600E mutation in our patients with PTC and try to assess the role of this mutation in prognosis and further management of the patients.

What participants receive

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

  • BRAF V600E POSITIVITYGenetic

    BRAF V600E mutation analysis will be made using the tumor tissues of the patients with papillary thyroid cancer (3 sections of 7 mm from he paraffin blocks). And mutation positives and negatives will be identified.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing BRAF V600E POSITIVITY in people with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma, run by Bezmialem Vakif University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 16 Aug 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

BRAF V600E MUTATION (time frame: 2 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 16 Aug 2011.
