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 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The investigators will conduct a case-control study in 11 hospitals from China. Cases will be the patients with newly-diagnosed gallbladder carcinoma. The controls will be matched (1:1)by sex,race and age which will be selected from the patients receiving cholecystectomy due to gallstones from the same hospital with the cases. A total of 50 patients with gallbladder carcinoma will be recruited.

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosed with gallbladder carcinoma by imaging tests (cases) Diagnosed with chronic cholecystitis by imaging tests (hospital controls)

Who cannot join

  • The pathology diagnosis and imaging does not matched Patients with other malignant tumors Patients with other severe systemic diseases

About this study

This research will be the first study for exosome purified from blood in gallbladder carcinoma patients. Proteomics studies will be done in both tumor tissue and the circulating exosome from blood specimens. Then, the potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers will be searched by bioinformatics to find the correlations between exosome biomarkers and gallbladder carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Background:

Exosomes are formed by inward budding of late endosomes, producing multivesicular bodies (MVBs), and are released into the environment by fusion of the MVBs with the plasma membrane. It has been demonstrated that the content and function of exosomes depends on the originating cell and the conditions under which they are produced. Tumor exosome production, transfer and education of bone marrow cells supports tumor growth and metastasis.

Aims of the study:

Proteomics studies will be done in both tumor tissue and the circulating exosome from the gallbladder carcinoma patients. Then, the potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers will be searched by bioinformatics to find the correlations between exosome biomarkers and gallbladder carcinoma.

Materials and Methods:

The investigators will conduct a case-control study in 11 hospitals from China. Cases will be the patients with newly-diagnosed gallbladder carcinoma. The controls will be matched (1:1)by sex,race and age which will be selected from the patients receiving cholecystectomy due to gallstones from the same hospital with the cases. A total of 50 patients with gallbladder carcinoma will be recruited. The investigators will obtain the blood and tumor tissue samples for further analysis of proteomics studies. Exosome from blood specimens will be isolated and purified by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. The potential prognostic and predictive biomarkers will be searched by bioinformatics to find the correlations between exosome biomarkers and gallbladder carcinoma. Data will be collected from January 2018 to December 2018.

What is being measured

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

  1. Characterization of the protein profile in tumor derived exosomes from the gallbladder carcinoma patients

    Proteomics studies will be done in both tumor tissue and the circulating exosomes from blood specimens. The specific protein A in the circulating exosomes from the gallbladder carcinoma patients will be selected for further analysis.

    Measured: Up to 2 years from start of study

  2. The expression of protein A in the circulating exosomes from patients

    The expression of protein A (which is selected from outcome 1) in the circulating exosomes from patients will be detected by flow cytometry analysis. The ROC curve of A+ circulating exosomes will be done to compare with the clinical standard tumour biomarker (e.g. CA199) for patients with gallbladder carcinoma patients.

    Measured: Up to 2 years from start of study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Proteinosis and Gallbladder Carcinoma, run by liu yingbin at 1 site 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Characterization of the protein profile in tumor derived exosomes from the gallbladder carcinoma patients (time frame: Up to 2 years from start of study). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Jul 2018.
