Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The research was conducted in female patients who were treated at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic in Clinical Center Kragujevac after obtaining informed consent of patients with the declaration of Helsinki and recommendations of the World Health Organization for experiments on human material and after getting approval of the Ethics Committee. Female patients are divided into two groups: I (first): 40 patients in whom endometrial carcinoma was diagnosed as part of the experimental group and II (second) 20 patients in whom cancer or atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium was excluded histopathologically.

Who may be able to join

  • signed informed consent of the patient
  • pathohistological confirmation of endometrial carcinoma for the experimental group
  • normal endometrial tissue and hyperplasia simplex endometrii for the control group.

Who cannot join

  • malignant disease in the patient whose treatment is still ongoing
  • pathohistological determination of atypical hyperplasia of the endometrial tissue

About this study

Official title: A Study Without a Protocol Number. Documentation Filed in the Registry Under Number 01/19/1438. Date: 08.04.2019.

COPB2 is a subunit of the intracellular transport system between cell organelles that participates in the regulation of cell division and differentiation. Bcl-2 is a protein that participates in regulating the process of apoptosis. Through the research,investigators tried to examine and establish the correlation of the expression of these two genes in endometrial cancer at an early stage.

Read the detailed description

The research was conducted as a prospective controlled clinical experimental study in the period from 2019-2022. in patients who were treated at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic in Clinical Center Kragujevac. Sections of tissue deriving from the exploratory curettage and operative procedure were taken after obtaining informed consent of participants with the declaration of Helsinki and recommendations of the World Health Organization for experiments on human material and after getting approval of the Ethics Committee.

Participants are divided into two groups. Investigators stored the sample (endometrial tissue) in liquid nitrogen under adequate conditions at the Kragujevac Clinical Center, department for Gynecology and Obstetrics and examined the expression of the COPB2 and Bcl-2 gene in endometrial tissue cells of these two groups of patients. In order to examine the relative expression of the gene for the COPB2 subunit and Bcl-2, investigators sampled endometrial tissue from patients with endometrial cancer - experimental group and from patients without cancer - control group. All participants of the experimental group had initial stages of cancer, without the existence of metastases at the time of taking the sample for the study. Gene expression was performed using the Polymerase Chain Reaction method at the Faculty of Science and Mathematics in Kragujevac.

Being tested

Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Relative expression COPB2 and BCL-2

    In order to examine the relative expression of the gene for the COPB2 subunit and Bcl-2, investigators sampled endometrial tissue from patients with endometrial cancer - experimental group and from patients without cancer - control group. All patients of the experimental group had initial stages of cancer, without the existence of metastases at the time of taking the sample for the study. Gene expression was performed using the Polymerase Chain Reaction method

    Measured: The laboratory processing of the material lasted 3 months, after all the samples were collected during the clinical part of the research. In the period from 01.03. 2022-01.06.2022.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrial Carcinoma Cellular Diagnosis, run by Clinical Center Kragujevac.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 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?

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?

Relative expression COPB2 and BCL-2 (time frame: The laboratory processing of the material lasted 3 months, after all the samples were collected during the clinical part of the research. In the period from 01.03. 2022-01.06.2022.). 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 19 Jul 2023.
