Study population: The Diet, Cancer and Health study is an ongoing Danish cohort study designed to investigate the relation between diet, lifestyle and cancer risk. The cohort consists of 57,053 persons, recruited between December 1993 and May 1997. All the subjects were born in Denmark, and the individuals were 50 to 64 years of age and had no previous cancers at study entry. Blood samples, anthropometric measures and questionnaire data on diet and lifestyle were collected at study entry. The present study uses a nested case-cohort design. Follow-up is based on population-based cancer registries. Between 1994 and 31th December 2009, 1038 CRC cases were diagnosed. A sub-cohort of 1857 persons has randomly been selected within the full cohort at time of entry into the cohort.
Who may be able to join
- Born in Denmark and had no previous cancers at study entry
Who cannot join
- Previous or present cancer(s) at study entry
About this study
Official title: Meat and Fiber Intake and Interaction With Pattern Recognition Receptors (TLR1, TLR2, TLR4, and TLR10) in Relation to Colorectal Cancer in a Danish Prospective, Case-cohort Study
The aim of this study is to investigate the interaction between diet - primary meat and fiber - and polymorphisms in Toll-like receptors in relation to risk of colorectal cancer in a Danish prospective cohort.
Read the detailed description
Meat and dietary fibers have been associated with increased and decreased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), respectively. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) regulate intestinal immune response in a complex interplay between the mucosal epithelium and the microbiota and may therefore be important modulators of diet-induced CRC and interact with other inflammatory mediators.
The aim of the study is to investigate the association with functional TLR polymorphisms in relation to risk of CRC and their interaction with dietary factors. Additionally, interactions with previously studied polymorphisms in IL10, IL1B, PTGS2 and NFKB1 will be assessed in order to examine possible biological pathways in meat-induced CRC.
Data are retrieved from the Danish prospective "Diet, Cancer and Health" study encompassing 57,053 persons which were recruited between 1993 to 1997. Between 1994 and 31th December 2009, 1038 CRC cases has been diagnosed. A sub-cohort of 1857 persons has been randomly selected within the full cohort at time of entry into the cohort. The study design is a nested case-cohort study.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2017. 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?
Colorectal cancer (time frame: Between 1994 and 31th December 2009). 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 NCT03250637, which also lists 2 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 15 Aug 2017.
