About this study

No ideal serum biomarker currently exists for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, it is urgent that accurate and reliable serum biomarkers be identified.

Read the detailed description

Magnetic bead-based fractionation coupled with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) was used to screen serum samples from CRC patients and healthy controls.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF)

    Compare PMF of the colorectal caner group and control group, and then build the model to distinguish patients with colorectal cancer and controls

    Measured: 2010.03-2012.05 (2 years)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Expressed peptide peaks

    Find differentially expressed peptide peaks from the model and identify some ideal serum biomarkers for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer

    Measured: 2010.03-2012.05 (2 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Neoplasms, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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 24 May 2012. 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 China. 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?

Serum peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) (time frame: 2010.03-2012.05 (2 years)). 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 NCT01604798, which also lists 5 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 24 May 2012.
