About this study

Official title: To Assess the Correlation Between the Predictive Factor of Vascularity (CD74) in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma and Treatment Results (Response Rate, and Overall Survival )

The purpose of this study is to To assess the correlation between the predictive factor of vascularity (CD74) in malignant pleural mesothelioma and treatment results (response rate, and overall survival) .

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized controlled retrospective study through Examination of paraffin blocks of the patient selected to be included in the study for assessment of the selected vascularity marker of malignant pleural mesothelioma of both types . The CD74 (LN2) antibody is intended for qualified laboratories to qualitatively identify by light microscopy the presence of associated antigens in sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections using Immunohistochemistry test methods.

Being tested
marker CD74 and vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF
Medical subject headings
Mesothelioma, Malignant

What participants receive

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

  • marker CD74 and vascular endothelial growth factor VEGFOther

    correlate the result of vascularity test done on paraffin blocks on both types of malignant pleural mesothelioma patients diagnosed and receive treatment and evaluated after treatment

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. to correlate the results of the vascularity marker of pleural mesothelioma CD74 of patients attended to Ain Shams University hospitals with the result response of treatment by chemotherapy ,overall survival and progreeion free survival

    The cases diagnosed and receive at the least 2-3 cycles of chemotherapy and evaluated after treatment

    Measured: 3-4 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. assessment of vascular enothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patient with malignant pleural mesothelioma who attended to Ain Shams University and made comparison with the result of CD 74

    The cases diagnosed and receive at the least 2-3 cycles of chemotherapy and evaluated after treatment

    Measured: 3-4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malignant Pleural Mesotheliomas, run by Ain Shams University 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 10 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

to correlate the results of the vascularity marker of pleural mesothelioma CD74 of patients attended to Ain Shams University hospitals with the result response of treatment by chemotherapy ,overall survival and progreeion free survival (time frame: 3-4 months). 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 1 Jun 2016.
