Trial summary

Early-onset gastric cancer (EOGC) is a lethal malignancy with a poor prognosis. It differs from late-onset gastric cancer (LOGC) in clinical and molecular characteristics. The current strategies for EOGC detection have certain limitations in diagnostic performance due to the rising trend in EOGC. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Use of a Liquid Biopsy Signature as Blood Biomarker for Early Detection and Monitoring Early-onset Gastric Cancer

Early-onset gastric cancer (EOGC) is a lethal malignancy with a poor prognosis. It differs from late-onset gastric cancer (LOGC) in clinical and molecular characteristics. The current strategies for EOGC detection have certain limitations in diagnostic performance due to the rising trend in EOGC. Hence, identifying novel EOGC bioindicators is crucial.

Read the detailed description

Due to widespread gastric cancer (GC) detection efforts and timely interventions (removal of precancerous lesions and early-stage GC), the GC-associated mortality rate has declined worldwide. However, epidemiological studies show rising GC incidences among young adults (< 50 years old) without familial or hereditary origin. This illness, known as early-onset GC (EOGC), comprises 20-30% of new GC diagnoses, mainly among individuals aged 30-40 years; the median overall survival time is 11.7 months. Although the underlying cause behind this trend is poorly understood, there is a general understanding that EOGC epidemiologically, biologically, and pathologically differs from late-onset GC (LOGC, ≥ 50 years). Therefore, EOGC patients require clinical assessment and intervention distinct from those applied in LOGC.

Of note, several population-based epidemiological studies have suggested that EOGC patients exhibit significantly different behaviors from LOGC patients. EOGC patients are more likely to have earlier lymph node and distal metastasis than LOGC patients during disease progression. These tough challenges raise clinical concerns: EOGC is more aggressive than LOGC; thus, a delayed diagnosis can severely affect patient survival outcomes. Moreover, the current approaches to GC detection, such as CEA, HP serology, and pepsinogen (PG), are insufficient for detecting early-stage GC and have yet to be investigated in young individuals with EOGC. Accordingly, these limitations strongly underscore the necessity to establish potent alternative indicators that facilitate the timely detection of EOGC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastric Cancer, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 5 Sep 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?

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?

Detection of levels of an exosome-based liquid biopsy signature (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 year). 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 5 Sep 2023.
