About this study

Official title: The Impact of Activated p-AKT Expression on Clinical Outcomes in Malignant Lymphoma : A Clinicopathological Study

PI3K(phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase)/AKT pathway is an important oncogenic signaling pathway. However, clinical information about the significance of p-AKT expression in malignant lymphoma is not fully understood yet. In this study, we investigated the overexpression of p-AKT and its prognostic implication in malignant lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

Recently, among diverse oncogenic signaling pathways, a number of studies have focused on the significance of oncogenic PI3K/AKT (phophatidylinositol 3-kinase/serine-threonine kinase, also known as protein kinase B [PKB]) pathway. PI3K(phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase)/AKT pathway phosphorylates and activates AKT as phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT) and plays a critical role promoting malignant phenotype and has prognostic significance in various solid cancers.

However, a systematic approach on the impact of p-AKT overexpression on clinical outcomes has not been performed in malignant lymphoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malignant Lymphoma and P13K-AKT Pathway Deregulation, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 2013. 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 South Korea. 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 of overall survival according to p-AKT status in malignant lymphoma (time frame: study entry). 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 NCT01789060, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Feb 2013.
