About this study

Official title: A Case-control, Non-intervention Study for Gastric Cancer Screening

This was a case control, non-intervention study jointly developed by Fudan University Cancer Hospital and Shanghai Singlera Genomics Company. The enrolled population was screened by gastric surgery, including gastric cancer, precancerous lesions, benign lesions, and healthy control group. 10ml of whole blood of the enrolled subjects was collected for multi-target PCR detection of cfDNA methylation. The objective is to explore the clinical performance of polygene methylation (PCR-fluorescence probe) in the adjunctive diagnosis of gastric cancer, including the sensitivity of detection of various types and stages of gastric cancer, the specificity of detection of healthy controls, precancerous states, precancerous lesions, and the detection interference of other cancers. The diagnostic performance will be compared with CA199, CEA and CA724. The research data will provide a basis for screening targets for the development of detection kits.

Read the detailed description

Design and plan of the project: 1) Using the MONOD patent detection data of the company's previous research and combining with literature retrieval, analyze the tissue samples of gastric cancer of different stages and their paired paracancer tissues to screen the methylation mutation sites related to early gastric cancer and select the sites suitable for PCR detection; 2) ctDNA methylation markers in gastric cancer blood were preliminarily screened by plasma of healthy persons and preoperative plasma paired with tissues; 3) Using the screened blood ctDNA specific methylation markers, a targeted detection method for early gastric cancer lesions was designed; 4) The detection performance of the independent validation set sample confirmation establishment method.

Study groups in NCT05336058
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Gastric cancer groupWe anticipate enrolling approximately 620 gastric cancer (GC) cases, comprising 20 sets of GC tumors and their corresponding peritumoral tissue samples, as well as a minimum of 600 plasma samples from patients across stages I to IV of GC. Pathological diagnosis is required.
Receives: Other: No intervention
Negative groupA total of approximately 520 cases were included in the study, comprising 20 cases providing white blood cell samples from healthy individuals, and 500 patients diagnosed with gastric diseases other than gastric cancer (such as gastritis, atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, etc.), who provided plasma samples.
Receives: Other: No intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity and specificity of methylation detection in gastric cancer

    To investigate the sensitivity and specificity of polygene methylation in the diagnosis of gastric cancer of different types and stages, and to evaluate its value as an auxiliary diagnosis.

    Measured: assessed up to 12 months

  2. Comparison of polygene methylation detection and other serological detection methods in gastric cancer

    The specificity and sensitivity of multigene methylation (PCR-fluorescence probe) and CA199, CEA and CA724 in the auxiliary diagnosis of gastric cancer were compared.

    Measured: assessed up to 12 months

  3. Screening of genetic targets for kit development

    The research data will provide a basis for screening gene targets for the development of subsequent detection kits.

    Measured: assessed up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stomach Cancer, run by Singlera Genomics Inc. at 1 site in China.

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 8 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 22 Apr 2024. 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 China. 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?

Sensitivity and specificity of methylation detection in gastric cancer (time frame: assessed up to 12 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05336058, 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 22 Apr 2024.
