Read the detailed description
Colorectal Cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in the USA and the world's fourth most deadly cancer .the incidence and the mortality rate of colorectal cancer has decreased due to effective cancer screening measures.
Besides an ageing population and dietary habits of high-income countries, unfavourable risk factors such as obesity, lack of physical exercise, and smoking increase the risk of colorectal cancer.
The incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer diagnosed in patients under the age of 50 years- has been increasing around the world.
The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system composed of two ligands, their receptors and regulatory proteins.
IGFBPs regulate the cell cycle, and the function of IGFBPs in transcriptional regulation, DNA damage repair and apoptosis induction suggest that they are closely associated with tumour development, progression, and therapy resistance.
Insulin-like growth factor peptides play important roles in regulating cell growth, cell differentiation, and apoptosis, and have been demonstrated to promote the development of colorectal cancer.
Researchers found that IGFBP3 has the potential to be used as early indicator for colorectal cancer diagnosis.
Moreover, IGFBP3 as a risk factor for carcinogenesis has been demonstrated in many cancers.
IGFBP3 as a tumour suppressor was reported to be down-regulated in some cancers. But some other publications showed its overexpression is associated with poor prognosis for several cancers including pancreatic endocrine neoplasms.
Meanwhile, epidemiological studies indicated that higher circulating IGFBP3 level were an increased risk of breast cancer.

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 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 9 May 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 Hebat allah Galal Mabady, resident (01069497743, hebaalah594@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Assessment of the Diagnostic Role of Serum Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 as a Potential Biomarker for Colorectal Cancer (CRC) in Egypt (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT05850559, 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 9 May 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
