About this study

The Role of microRNA-29b in the Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Read the detailed description

To find out if there is prognostic value which to the performance of microRNA-29b of oral cancer in Taiwan and provide some reference for future treatment.

We anticipate to enroll 100 persons with oral cancer and collect the tissue which was stained for pathological sections over a 3 year period.

We also collect the blood and saliva samples from patients and the results along with patient-specific information such as tumor phases, tumor size, lymph node metastasis, cancer metastasis, prognosis and betel nut chewing, smoking and drinking habits and other parameters are statistically analyzed.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02009852
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Oral cancerSubjects who suffer from oral cancer. Subjects must: Should have a blood exam (20ml/each time) before the surgery and 3 months after the surgery. In the case the disease recurs after the surgery, subjects need to receive the surgery again and take another blood exam before the surgery and 3 months after the surgery. Before the surgery site staff must: Collect subjects' saliva once a day (in the morning before breakfast) for 3 consecutive days. Collect a 0.5x0.5Cm2 tissue sample of the tumor during the surgery.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 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 Taiwan. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shin-Jung Cheng, DDS, MS, PhD (+886 2 29251733 ext. 67509, sjcheng56@ntu.edu.tw), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

microRNA-29b (time frame: 3 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 NCT02009852, which also lists 20 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?
