About this study

Official title: Parallel Controlled Study of Epstein-Barr Virus Antibody and Epstein-Barr Virus DNA for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Screening in the High-risk Population

The investigators intend to compare Epstein-Barr virus antibody and Epstein-Barr virus DNA screening efficacy in first-degree relatives of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.

Read the detailed description

The investigators intend to test Epstein-Barr virus antibodies (Viral Capsid Antigen-immunoglobulin A, Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1-immunoglobulin A, early antigen-immunoglobulin A, Zta-immunoglobulin A, Rta-immunoglobulin G, Bnlf 2b) by ELISA and Epstein-Barr virus DNA by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, target sequencing and CRISPR-associated protein 12a in nasopharyngeal brushing and plasma of the same population at high-risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma so as to determine the best method in nasopharyngeal carcinoma screening.

Being tested
EBV antibodies test, EBV DNA test
Keywords
Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Screen, EBV DNA, EBV antibody

What is being measured

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

  1. positive predictive value

    the ratio of subjects truly diagnosed as nasopharyngeal carcinoma to all those who had positive test results

    Measured: 3 years

  2. negative predictive value

    the ratio of subjects truly diagnosed as negative (do not have nasopharyngeal carcinoma) to all those who had negative test results

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. sensitivity

    the percentage of subjects who test positive to those who have nasopharyngeal carcinoma

    Measured: 3 years

  2. specificity

    the percentage of subjects who test negative to those who do not have nasopharyngeal carcinoma

    Measured: 3 years

  3. early diagnose rate

    the ratio of patients with stage I and stage II disease to all those who have nasopharyngeal carcinoma

    Measured: 3 years

  4. cost-effectiveness

    the cost of detecting one nasopharyngeal carcinoma case

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Sun Yat-sen University 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 7 inclusion and 3 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 8 Jul 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 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?

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 Ming-Yuan Chen, MD, PhD (86-20-8734-3361, chmingy@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

positive predictive value (time frame: 3 years). 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 8 Jul 2022.
