Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to collect a urine sample from patients with prostate and urothelial (bladder) cancer and healthy volunteers who do not have cancer, so that researchers can perform studies on microcellular structures called exosomes that may eventually lead to a new type of urinary biomarker test for… Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to collect a urine sample from patients with prostate and urothelial (bladder) cancer and healthy volunteers who do not have cancer, so that researchers can perform studies on microcellular structures called exosomes that may eventually lead to a new type of urinary biomarker test for prostate and urothelial cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a one-time participation, banking study of up to 40 subjects (10 prostate, 10 urothelial, 20 without cancer). Subjects must meet eligibility at the time of informed consent and will donate approx. 200mL of urine sample.

Primary Objective:

To develop alternative and efficient urinary exosome isolation and glycan analysis approaches for especially large glycan structures, including their isomers present at low levels, which will particularly enhance current analytical technology.

To provide further testing of the current microfluidic-based approaches developed to screen glycan samples which this additional specimen will provide to assess whether the current analytical techniques are robust enough to handle this type of sample with sufficient resolution and sensitivity for useful analytical information.

To compare alterations in exosome-derived glycans in adults with prostate and urothelial carcinoma in comparison with the exosome-derived glycans in age-matched healthy adults for assessment of findings to explore if the tools could be applied for future study toward a liquid biopsy test.

What is being measured

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

  1. The concentration of urine spermine in the diagnosis of prostate and urothelial cancer

    xFresh urine will be collected for MALDI-TOF analysis to detect the concentration of exosome-derived glycans in the urine sample

    Measured: Baseline (one-time point)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer and Urothelial Carcinoma, run by Indiana University at 1 site in United States.

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 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2022. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Could not identify a replacement Principal Investigator.). 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?

The concentration of urine spermine in the diagnosis of prostate and urothelial cancer (time frame: Baseline (one-time point)). 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 14 Mar 2022.
