About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Accuracy of the Mean Platelet Volume in Oral Lichen Planus

70 patients with suspicious oral lichen planus; atrophic and bullous erosive forms will be included. The blood samples will be drawn between 08:00 and 09:00 AM, after a fasting period of 12 hours, and analysis were performed within 2 hours of the sampling. The MPV and other hematologic parameters will be measured in a blood sample. A surgical biopsy will be performed for histopathological assessment.

Read the detailed description

70 patients with suspicious oral lichen planus; atrophic and bullous erosive forms will be included for conventional clinical examination under incandescent projected light. Using biopsy as a gold standard, all patients will be biopsied.

Blood Samples For all participants, the blood samples will be drawn between 08:00 and 09:00 AM, after a fasting period of 12 hours, and analysis were performed within 2 hours of the sampling. The MPV and other hematologic parameters will be measured in a blood sample that will be collected in tubes containing EDTA. Complete blood cell analysis will be performed in hematology laboratory, New Kasr Al-Aini Teaching Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University. For reliable MPV measurement, the investigator will standardize the time delay between sampling and analysis to <2 hours for all patients.

Biopsy preparation A surgical biopsy will be performed for histopathological assessment. All clinically identified lesions underwent biopsies where specimens will be placed in 10% buffered formalin for fixation. Paraffin embedded material will be cut into 4 μm thick sections and will be stained with haematoxylin + eosin then submitted for histopathological evaluation by a senior oral pathologist blinded to the clinical findings.

Statistical analysis

The collected data will be entered through the SPSS version 18.0 software. Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value (PPV), Negative Predictive Value (NPV) and Accuracy were calculated for MPV. The results will be compared with histopathological results using Chi-Square test with p value set as < 0.05.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lichen Planus, Oral, run by Cairo University at 2 sites 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 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.

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?

Complete blood count (time frame: Once at the time of the first visit). 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 NCT03687437, 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?
