About this study

The purpose of the current study is to establish a Liquid biopsy method (positive enrichment by a novel immunomagnetic beads capture assay) for detection of malignant cell in serous effusions and to evaluate its sensitivity and specificity for clinical application.

Read the detailed description

A serous effusion is common event in metastatic carcinoma, but it also can be associated with other benign medical conditions. Current standard method for detecting malignancy is by cytological examination. However, cytological examination is often low sensitive, often due to the large amount of fluid with relatively sparse tumor cells present and the presence of many normal cells such as mesothelial cell. The investigators have developed a new method, malignant cell enrichment with immunomagnetic beads capture followed by Pap staining and NGS, to identify target malignant cells in body fluids.

McAb NJ001 is developed for malignant cell isolation with immunomagnetic beads capture technique. This is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, statistically powered clinical trial that will enroll patients scheduled to undergo a procedure for removal of fluid from a serous effusion with or without clinical diagnosis of caner. The purpose of the current study is to compare the novel serous effusion detection assay using NJ001 coated immunomagnetic beads capture followed by Pap staining and NGS analysis with traditional cytologic evaluation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malignancy and Pleural Effusion, run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University at 2 sites in China.

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 3 inclusion and 1 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 6 Feb 2020. 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 China. 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 Jian Xu, MD/ PhD (+8602568135230, xu_jian79@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with Malignancies Assessed by the Liquid Biopsy with Immunomagnetic Beads Capture Technique (Cancer Cell Positive Enrichment) (time frame: The samples will be analyzed within 18 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 NCT02891642, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Feb 2020.
