Trial summary

Compelling epidemiological evidence indicates that alterations of mitochondrial DNA, including mutations and abnormal content of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), are associated with the initiation and development of gastric cancer.The aim of this study was to explore association between mtDNA content in peripheral blood… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: A total of 300 eligible gastric cancer patients were anticipated to include in this study. Moreover, 300 healthy controls without previous cancer history were also recruited from individuals who visited investigator's hospital for physical examination during the same time period.

Who may be able to join

  • 1.histological confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma; 2.receiving surgical resection; 3.no preoperative anticancer treatment; 4.alive at least 1 months after surgery.

Who cannot join

  • 1.history of other malignancy; 2.blood transfusion within one month or prior bone marrow transplantation; 3.patients who reluctant to sign informed consent.

About this study

Compelling epidemiological evidence indicates that alterations of mitochondrial DNA, including mutations and abnormal content of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), are associated with the initiation and development of gastric cancer.The aim of this study was to explore association between mtDNA content in peripheral blood cells could be used as a risk predictor for gastric cancer.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02944539
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Gastric cancer group300 consecutive patients were recruited, who have diagnosed with gastric cancer by biopsy
Control groupThe 300 healthy controls without previous cancer history were recruited from individuals who visited investigator's hospital for physical examination during the same time period as the case enrollment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relative copy number of mitochondrial DNA

    The ratio of mitochondrial DNA contents to hemoglobin contents was calculated for each sample from standard curves. After that, the ratio for each sample was normalized to a calibrator DNA in order to standardize between different runs, and then defined as the measurement of relative mtDNA contents.Relative expression of mtDNA were measured in patients suffered from gastric cancer when compared with control group.

    Measured: From date of percutaneous coronary intervention until the date of discharging from hospital, assessed up to 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stomach Neoplasms, run by Air Force Military Medical University, 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2016. 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?

Relative copy number of mitochondrial DNA (time frame: From date of percutaneous coronary intervention until the date of discharging from hospital, assessed up to 5 days). 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 26 Oct 2016.
