About this study

Official title: Amplification of Zinc- Finger Protein 217 Gene in Multiple Myeloma Patients as a Prognostic Marker

Multiple myeloma (MM) is blood disorder characterized by the detection of a monoclonal paraprotein in serum or urine, which is often associated with the presence of clonal plasma cells (PCs) mainly in the bone marrow (BM) .The zinc-finger protein 217 (ZNF217) is an oncogenic protein that plays deleterious functions in various human cancers. The ZNF217 gene is located at the 20q13 chromosomal region, which is frequently amplified in human tumors .

Read the detailed description

Multiple myeloma (MM) is blood disorder characterized by the detection of a monoclonal paraprotein in serum or urine, which is often associated with the presence of clonal plasma cells (PCs) mainly in the bone marrow (BM) . MM is the second most common hematologic malignancy and is expected to cause ∼13 000 new cases and 30 000 deaths in 2018. Myeloma is a genetically complex disorder characterized by multiple genetic changes, affecting different pathways, that have the ability to deregulate plasma cell biology leading to a broadly similar phenotypic manifestation of disease. From a genetic perspective, myeloma can be divided into those with and without a hyperdiploid karyotype .The zinc-finger protein 217 (ZNF217) is an oncogenic protein that plays deleterious functions in various human cancers. The ZNF217 gene is located at the 20q13 chromosomal region, which is frequently amplified in human tumors . This region also contains several oncogenes thought to confer selective advantages to cancer cells. Increased copy numbers of ZNF217 have been reported in various tumors and linked to poor outcome in some studies . ZNF217 can attenuate apoptotic signals resulting from telomere dysfunction and may promote neoplastic transformation and later stages of malignancy. ZNF217 was shown to be a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target during breast cancer progression. In our best knowledge, No studies were done to detect ZNF217 in multiple myeloma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing zinc-finger protein 217 gene in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Assiut University.

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 30 Dec 2019. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

zinc-finger protein gene 217 in myeloma patients (time frame: 2 years). 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 30 Dec 2019.
