Trial summary

Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a distinct type of biliary tumor characterised with delicate fibrovascular stalks (papillary of villous) covered at biliary epithelium. The typical pathologic feature is dramatical dilation of affected bile ducts due to obstruction by mucin production. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Classification of Mutation Characteristics by Whole-Exome Sequencing (WES) in Intraductal Neoplasms of the Bile Duct (IPNB) Patients

Intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a distinct type of biliary tumor characterised with delicate fibrovascular stalks (papillary of villous) covered at biliary epithelium. The typical pathologic feature is dramatical dilation of affected bile ducts due to obstruction by mucin production. IPNB has a better prognosis than bile duct carcinoma, but the current proposed entity contains multiple definitions or categories, thus confused in pathology.

Although mutations of several genes on IPNBs (such as GNAS, KRAS, APC, CTNNB1, and RNF43) identified in previous studies, there is still an unification at gene expression signature.

This research trial will use whole exome sequencing and subsequent bioinformatic analysis in finding causative mutations in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples from IPNBs patients.

Read the detailed description

Using production-scale platform, this study will carry out whole exome sequencing from archival (FFPE) material to Identification and classification of significantly mutated genes, determine the somatic genomic alterations that may be relevant to the development or treatment of cancer, establish classification of IPNBs gene mutation signature. Next, analysis of gene mutation signature and IPNBs clinicopathologic outcomes, including the association between pathologic type, long-term oncological outcomes and gene mutation signature. Last, the determination of involved signal pathways at IPNB patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of novel genetic contributors to IPNBs

    Novel genetic abnormalities that are found to be associated with IPNBs via production-scale platform for whole exome sequencing from archival (FFPE) material. The tumor and normal specimens will be obtained from patients with IPNBs who are receiving treatment at Fujian Provincial Hospital, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital and First affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Validation of WES outcomes

    To precise determination of mutation signature of WES results by Sanger Sequencing.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Determination of involved signal pathways

    To predict and verify the involved signal pathways by bioinformatics

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bile Duct Neoplasms and Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm, run by Fujian Provincial Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 12 Feb 2019. 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?

Contact Yaodong Wang, Prof (18105010560 ext. 18105010560, nanfangg@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identification of novel genetic contributors to IPNBs (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 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 12 Feb 2019.
