About this study

Official title: Micro RNA Genetic Signature in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Egyptian Patients

This study will be carried out on 40 subjects at Chest department Tanta university hospital

The subjects will be classified into three groups:

  • Group I: will include ten non smoker volunteers (control group I).
  • GroupII: will include ten smoker volunteers (control groupII).
  • Group III: will include twenty NSCLC patients confirmed by pathological examination of bronchoalveolar examination (BAL), brush and/or biopsy.
Read the detailed description

The patients and control groups will be subjected to the following:

  • Complete history taking and complete general examination.
  • Complete chest examination.
  • Radiological assessment including chest x ray (posteroanterior and lateral view).
  • Computed tomography (CT) chest for all patients in group III and when needed in group I and II.
  • Laboratory investigations:
  • Complete blood picture
  • Fasting and post parandial blood sugar level
  • liver function tests
  • kidney function tests (urea and creatinine).
  • Prothrombine time and activity.
  • Zeil-Neelsen staining of sputum.
  • Tumour markers including α Fetoprotein, Carcino Embryonic antigen (CEA), CA19-9, CA 125, CA15-3 and others.
  • Venous blood samples will be collected from peripheral blood (5 ml) under complete aseptic technique. Serum samples will be obtained by centrifugation. Isolation of total RNA from serum pools will be performed. RNA profiles and quantification will be assessed using Microarray.
  • Lung biopsy either transbronchial via bronchoscopy or peripherally via ultrasound , CT guided, thoracoscopy or open lung biopsy will be performed with isolation of total RNA from lung tissue biopsy. RNA profiles and quantification will be assessed using Microarray.
  • Bronchoalveolar lavage will be performed with isolation of total RNA from it. RNA profiles will be assessed using Microarray.

Ethical considerations:

  1. Informed consent will be taken from all subject's and include:
  2. The aim of research. B. All data are confidential. C. All data will be used in research only.
  3. For patient's privacy:
  4. There will be a code number for each patient in special folder. B. The results of research will be used in scientific publishing only.
  5. Unexpected risks that appear during the courses of research will be cleared to the participants and the ethical committee on time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Adel Salah Bediwy at 1 site in Egypt.

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 11 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 Oct 2016. 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 Egypt. 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?

Detect micro RNA genetic signature pattern in non-small cell lung cancer Egyptian patients assessed using Microarray (time frame: one year). 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 NCT02445924, which also lists 3 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 Oct 2016.
