About this study

Official title: Gene Expression Profiles in Chronic Periodontitis: A Gene Network-based Microarray Analysis

Current concepts of the causes of periodontitis implicate a bacterial infection as the primary cause of the disease. Several bacterial species residing in a biofilm on tooth surfaces are closely associated with periodontitis. Chronic periodontitis (CP) is initiated and sustained by bacterial plaque, but host defense mechanisms play an integral role in its pathogenesis.

Gene expression profiling is a powerful means of generating comprehensive genome-level data sets on diseases such as cancer, asthma, rheumatoid disorders and periodontitis, and provides significant insight information for these diseases. Gene expression profiling may provide an evidence for involving genes in the pathogenesis of CP and generate further information other than clinical signs and symptoms of CP.

The aim of this study was to identify gene-expression patterns of patients with chronic periodontitis by whole-transcriptome gene-expression analyses.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Periodontitis, run by Kocaeli University.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

mRNA quantification (time frame: 2 months). 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 NCT02467283, 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 12 Feb 2018.
