About this study
Official title: Establishment of a Tissue Sample Bank in the Field of Gynaecological Oncology
Establishment of a tumor bank, consisting of tissue samples of tumor patients (benign and malign tumors) and healthy people as controls. The tissue samples will be collected systematically together with the corresponding clinical data. The biological samples, the clinical date together with prospective experimental date constitute the entity of the tissue tumor bank.
This tumor bank for tissue samples, together with our tumorbank for blood samples (NCT01763125) combined constitute the entity "Tumorbank".
Read the detailed description
Recent progress in diagnosis and therapy of cancer diseases can be ascribed mainly to translational research. The relevance of "translational oncology" will only increase in the future -"From bench to bedside" - the swift implementation of new science research results in clinical studies in order to expedite progress in clinical cancer therapy for the benefit of the patient.
Its almost a matter of course in the medical science today to collect biological samples together with clinical information thereby creating the foundation for future excellent fundamental research.
The aim of this tumor bank is to consist of biological samples (together with a blood bank - see NCT01763125) and isolates of tumor patients and healthy people as controls. The biological samples, the clinical date together with prospective experimental date constitute the entity of the tumor bank. The content of the tumor bank can provide essential material for current and future research (e.g. analyses of prognostic or predictive tumor markers; genetically analysis (polymorphism, mutation, hypermethylation; verification and characterisation of disseminated tumor cells).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Tumor tissue collectionOther
Tissue sample is collected during therapeutic intervention by a medical doctor/surgeon.
Frozen tissue sections are first transferred to Dept.of Pathology. Pathologist samples required tissue to obtain enough evidence for analysis/diagnosis.
Rest tumor material with or without malignant cells is tranferred to the lab for Molecular Oncology of Prof.Zeillinger.
Sampling of ascites and pleural effusionOther
Samples of malignant ascites and/or malignant pleural effusion is only collected during therapeutic intervention from patients at inpatient care.
Collecting urine samplesOther
Patient is asked to give a urine sample. Urine is collected in urine beaker.
Collecting saliva sampleOther
Saliva sample is collected by spatula from the mouth cavity of the patient.
Collecting sputumOther
Patient is asked to produce sputum into a 50ml lab tube.
Collecting stool samplesOther
Stool samples are collected prior to bowel preparation for colonoscopy. Device for sampling is provided to the patient.
Lavage/IrrigationOther
Irrigation liquid is collected during routine therapeutic or diagnostic procedure, e.g. lavage of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes of women scheduled for surgery.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Malignant tumors | Patients who have one of the Neoplasms stated above under "conditions". Receives: Other: Tumor tissue collection; Other: Sampling of ascites and pleural effusion; Other: Collecting urine samples; Other: Collecting saliva sample; Other: Collecting sputum; Other: Collecting stool samples; Other: Lavage/Irrigation | |
| Benign controls | Patients with a benign tumor or an inflammatory disease - to be matched by age. Receives: Other: Tumor tissue collection; Other: Sampling of ascites and pleural effusion; Other: Collecting urine samples; Other: Collecting saliva sample; Other: Collecting sputum; Other: Collecting stool samples; Other: Lavage/Irrigation | |
| Healthy controls | People/patients who have no known disease at time of sampling or are admitted to the hospital for minor interventions and have no inflammatory disease. Receives: Other: Collecting urine samples; Other: Collecting saliva sample; Other: Collecting sputum; Other: Collecting stool samples; Other: Lavage/Irrigation |
What is being measured

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Ovarian Neoplasms and Breast Neoplasms, run by Medical University of Vienna at 3 sites in 3 countries.
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 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in Austria, Belgium, Germany. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Robert Zeillinger, Prof.Dr. (+43140400 ext. 78310, robert.zeillinger@meduniwien.ac.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Establishment of blood/tissue bank consisting of oncological samples from cancer patients and benign and healthy controls. (time frame: 14 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 NCT01789229, 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 23 Mar 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
