About this study

Colorectal carcinoma is a major health problem. As a malignant tumor, the malignant potential of colorectal carcinoma is based mainly on its ability to metastasis to different sites. Fascin-1 is an actin binding protein which is involved in reconstruction of intracellular actin network, the latter enforces the neoplastic cell to invade surrounding structures.

Read the detailed description

colorectal carcinoma is an aggressive malignant tumor. It has high incidence of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. the malignant potential of a given neoplasm is based mainly on its ability to invade the surrounding vasculature and reach to distant sites, the latter is called metastasis. in order to metastasize to distant sites, the neoplastic cells must re-arrange the intracellular actin filaments into well formed intracellular assembly which enable the neoplastic cells to reach to distant sites. Fascin-1 is an actin binding protein, it is involved in reconstruction of actin assembly. fortunately, Fascin-1 could be blocked by newly developed medications, blocking of Fascin-1 may limit the metastasis of colorectal carcinoma. in current study the investigators detect Fascin-1 in colorectal carcinoma by immunohistochemical approach, then they correlated different levels of Fascin-1 expression to tumor clinical and pathological criteria as patients' ages, sexes, tumor stages, nodal metastasis, vascular and per-ineural invasions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer of Colon, run by Sohag University at 2 sites in Egypt.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Egypt. 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?

Evaluation of immunohistochemical staining of colorectal carcinoma by Fascin-1 (time frame: September , 2022). 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 12 Apr 2023.
