About this study

Genitourinary malignancies such as prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, and bladder cancer in Korean population have been increased due to the aged population and the westernized lifestyles. With the advancement of technologies, studies have found that microbiome not only affects human physiological functions, such as metabolism, immunity, and haematopoiesis, but also plays a significant role in the development and progression of malignancies. However, the investigation of microbiome in urological malignances have been limited and few studies have been reported. Therefore, the investigator tried to evaluate the usefulness of microbiome in detection and monitoring of urological malignancies in Korean population. This study aims to use microbiome in tissue, plasma, stool and urine for the diagnosis, disease progression monitoring and therapeutic response evaluation. This study plan includes building big databases for microbiome of urological malignancies in Korean population.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT04625556
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Prostate cancerPatients diagnosed as prostate cancer and have undergone prostatectomy
Renal cell cancerPatients diagnosed as renal cell cancer and have undergone partial or radical nephrectomy
Bladder cancerPatients diagnosed as bladder cancer and have undergone radical or partial cystectomy
Ureter cancerPatients diagnosed as ureter cancer and have undergone nephroureterectomy or ureterectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between tissue bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies

    evaluate and compare the bacteria composition in tissue samples in urological malignancies (prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, bladder cancer, and ureter cancer) with healthy control group

    Measured: within 2 weeks after the surgery

  2. Correlation between plasma bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies

    evaluate and compare the bacteria composition in plasma samples in urological malignancies (prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, bladder cancer, and ureter cancer) with healthy control group

    Measured: within 2 weeks after the surgery

  3. Correlation between stool bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies

    evaluate and compare the bacteria composition in stool samples in urological malignancies (prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, bladder cancer, and ureter cancer) with healthy control group

    Measured: within 2 weeks after the surgery

  4. Correlation between urine bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies

    evaluate and compare the bacteria composition in urine samples in urological malignancies (prostate cancer, renal cell cancer, bladder cancer, and ureter cancer) with healthy control group

    Measured: within 2 weeks after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation of bacteria composition and tumor response assessed using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)

    Association between bacteria composition and oncological prognosis, progression, and therapeutic response in urological malignancies

    Measured: within 10 years after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Urological Malignancies and Prostate Cancer, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 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 South Korea. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Won Sik Ham (82-02-2228-2310, uroham@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between tissue bacteria composition and prevalence of urological malignancies (time frame: within 2 weeks after the surgery). The study lists 4 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 31 Jan 2023.
