About this study

Official title: Determination of Blood Tumor Cells Using Magnetic Nanoparticles

Magnetic nanoparticles coated with anti-EpCAM or anti-CD52 antibodies will be tested ex-vivo in patients blood .

Read the detailed description

Magnetic nanoparticles, coated with epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)-antibodies are designed to interact with epithelial tumor cells. Aim of this study is to see if circulating tumor cells (EpCAM as marker)can be removed out of the blood with the help of these particles. Patients suffering from prostate, colon, lung or pancreatic cancer will be asked to test their blood.

Similarly, magnetic nanoparticles will be coated with antibodies, directed against non-solid tumors in the blood such as lymphoma or leukemia (CD52 as marker).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell and Abnormalities Cell Epithelial, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2023. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Number of CTC / lymphocytes removed (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT04290923, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Jan 2023.
