About this study

Official title: Diagnostic Potential of the Salivary (miRNAs - 146-a, 186, IL-1ß, and IL- 10) to Differentiate Statuses of Periodontitis: A Case-Control Study

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by both dysbiosis of oral microbiota and proinflammatory events involving both cells and mediators from innate and adaptive immunity. These events lead to chronic inflammation of periodontal soft and hard tissues sharing many features with other chronic inflammatory diseases. These events lead to chronic inflammation of periodontal soft and hard tissues sharing many features with other chronic inflammatory diseases. Chronic inflammation is driven by various mediators, of which a significant part is attributed to the interactions within cytokine networks. While proinflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL) -1α, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-17, contribute to acute and chronic inflammation and tissue injury, a second group with antagonist effects is formed by cytokines such as IL-10

Read the detailed description

Diagnosis of Periodontitis represents the backbone of a successful periodontal treatment since the entire treatment plan, prognosis, and maintenance directly depend on the quality and precision of periodontal diagnosis. Since periodontal diagnostics is still based on clinical and radiological parameters providing limited therapeutic guidance, biomarkers have been introduced for the first time within the new classification of periodontal and peri-implant conditions as a first step towards the adoption of precision medicine concepts in periodontology. Saliva, as part of oral fluids, is an optimal biological fluid that contains locally and systemically derived mediators of periodontal disease (proteins, genetic/genomic biomarkers such as DNA and mRNA, and various metabolites that originate from the host and the bacteria) to serve as the diagnostic tool for periodontitis. The collection of saliva is safe, non-invasive, and simple, and saliva can be collected repeatedly with minimum discomfort to the patient. Single biomarker detection may not be effective enough for accurate diagnoses without false-positive or false-negative results. Periodontitis is a disease that involves complex interactions between bacteria and the host immune system. The combination of the host and bacteria-derived biomarkers, which reflect inflammation, soft tissue destruction, and bone destruction together, may be helpful in the diagnosis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periodontitis, run by University of Baghdad at 1 site in Iraq.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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 Iraq. 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?

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?

diagnosis (time frame: base line). 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 NCT05722613, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
