About this study

investigating the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) \& nitric oxide (NO) in saliva in oral premalignant and malignant lesions in order to determine their diagnostic value for the malignant and potentially malignant lesions.

Read the detailed description

Being a detrimental disease, cancer development is a very complicated process that requires many sequential steps and depends on a various number of genetic alterations and factors(1). Among these factors are the free radicals which are derived either from endogenous or exogenous sources (5). Free radicals result in an oxidative stress of the affected cells generating a body imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants (6).

In this regard, saliva has been currently used to assess this possible oxidative imbalance through various salivary biomarkers including nitric oxide (NO) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Saliva could be used as a very interesting rich medium, known for its role in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment that has become more prominent in oral diseases (6).

Nitric oxide (NO) is an intercellular messenger molecule having many important biological functions. The levels of nitric oxide in salivary secretions could be used to monitor the severity of many underlying disease processes. Moreover, malondialdehyde (MDA) has been the most frequently used biomarker of oxidative stress in many pathological conditions such as cancer. It resulted from reactive oxygen species lipid degradation and induced toxic stress in affected cells, making both biomarkers a point of focus in monitoring clinical progress of suspected lesions

What is being measured

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

  1. Salivary MDA level in different oral lesions

    The MDA level in saliva measured using ELISA kit provided by My BioSource, USA.

    Measured: 9 months

  2. Salivary NO level in different oral lesions

    The nitric oxide level in saliva measured using ELISA kit provided by My BioSource, USA.

    Measured: 9 MONTHS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oral Lichen Planus and Oral Cancer, run by Beni-Suef University at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2020. 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 Egypt. 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?

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?

Salivary MDA level in different oral lesions (time frame: 9 months). 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 13 Feb 2020.
