Trial summary

This project is about the detection of occult tumor cells in surgical margins of radical prostatovesiculectomy by analysing the methylation status of Glutathione S-transferase P 1 (GSTP1). After gland excision specimens are obtained from 9 defined areas of the prostatic fossa. The biopsies are divided into two parts. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Intraoperational Prostate Loge Biopsies (iPROLOGX) After Radical Prostatovesiculectomy (RPVE) in Prostate Cancer (PCA) Patients for Molecular Tumor Marker Analysis

This project is about the detection of occult tumor cells in surgical margins of radical prostatovesiculectomy by analysing the methylation status of Glutathione S-transferase P 1 (GSTP1). After gland excision specimens are obtained from 9 defined areas of the prostatic fossa. The biopsies are divided into two parts. One part used for histopathological analysis and the other part for moleculargenetic analysis. Results will be correlated e.g. with tumor stage, Gleason Score and prostate specific antigen (PSA).

DNA ISOLATION

DNA from biopsies stored by -80°C was isolated by using innuPREP DNA mini Kit (Analytik Jena, Jena, Germany) following protocol 1 of the manufacturer's instructions. DNA was eluted with 50 µl elution buffer. Concentration and purity were analysed by using Nanodrop 2000.

DNA BISULFITE MODIFICATION

DNA was modified by using EpiTect Bisulfite Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) according to manufacturer's instructions. Samples were eluted once with 20 µl elution buffer.

QUANTITATIVE METHYLATION SPECIFIC PCR

Methylation status of GSTP1 is analysed by quantitative methylation-specific PCR (Q-MSP) using StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR System and StepOne Software v2.1 from Applied Biosystems (Darmstadt, Germany). Q-MSP was performed in duplicate analysing genes Actin and GSTP1. The primers' and testing probes' sequences used to amplify and detect hypermethylated GSTP1 were: 5'-AgTTgCgCggCgATTTC (forward primer), 5'-gCCCCAATACTAAATCACgACg (reverse primer) and 5'-CggTCgACgTTCggggTgTAgCg (taqman probe), labelled with fluorescence dye FAM. The primers' and testing probes' sequences used to amplify and detect Actin were: 5'-TggTgATggAggAggTTTAgTAAgT (forward primer), 5'-AACCAATAAAACCTACTCCTCCCTTAA (reverse primer),5'-ACCACCACCCAACACACAATAACAAACACA (taqman probe), labelled with fluorescence dye VIC.

The Q-MSP was carried out at 50°C for 2 min., 95°C for 15 min. followed by 50 cycles of 95°C for 1s and 60°C for 1 min. As a positive control bisulfite-converted DNA of DU145 and LNCap were used. Blank reactions with destillated water, which replaced DNA, served as negative control (NTC).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing biopsies of the prostatic fossa in Magdeburg, RPVE and ETRARP in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Magdeburg at 2 sites in Germany.

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 8 inclusion and 9 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 3 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Methylation status of GSTP1 (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 3 Jun 2015.
