About this study

Official title: Clinical Study on the Accuracy of Proteomics in Evaluating Lymph Node Metastasis Status and Comparation With Pathological Examination in Cholangiocarcinoma Patients

This is a single-center, prospective, observational and exploratory clinical study. The object of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of proteomics approaches on resected lymph node samples in evaluating lymph node metastasis status in cholangiocarcinoma patients.

Read the detailed description

The current gold standard for the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis is pathological examination of surgically resected lymph node specimens. However, lymph node metastases are different from the primary lesions, and the distribution of tumor cells is heterogeneous and more dispersed. Therefore, a single thin pathological section is difficult to obtain complete information, which may be misdiagnosed due to the failure to examine on the section containing tumor cells or the presence of micro-metastases.

The application of proteomics can obtain the overall information of the samples, including the remodeling of the microenvironment by the tumor metastases and the acclimation even before the metastasis, resulting in significant changes in the protein expression profiles of the lymph nodes, which are difficult to be completely presented in conventional pathological sections. This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of proteomics approaches on resected lymph node samples in evaluating lymph node metastasis status in cholangiocarcinoma patients, assisting in guiding precision medicine and making therapeutic decisions.

Positive controls of lymph node metastases and negative controls of normal lymph nodes were previously profiled using proteomic approaches. Machine-learning clustering method will be used to classify the newly examined lymph nodes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lymph node metastasis status of each examined lymph nodes by pathological tests

    The pathological examination results of each resected lymph nodes will be recorded

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Lymph node metastasis status of each lymph nodes evaluated by proteomic approaches

    Machine-learning clustering will be applied to classify the lymph node metastasis status of each lymph nodes based on proteomic profiles

    Measured: 2 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cholangiocarcinoma, run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of 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 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Feb 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Honghua Zhang, Dr (020-34078840, zhanghh68@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lymph node metastasis status of each examined lymph nodes by pathological tests (time frame: 1 month). 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 10 Feb 2023.
