  • Men only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The colorectal cancer patient group included clinical stage 1-3 patients of both sexes. Patients with metastatic disease, those who received neoadjuvant therapy, those who received systemic chemoradiotherapy, those who had any known systemic inflammatory or autoimmune disease, those with another concurrent malignancy, and those who had been previously diagnosed and treated for another malignancy were excluded from the study. The control group included healthy volunteers who had undergone screening colonoscopy within the last month, had no pathology, had not been diagnosed with any malignant disease before, had no known systemic inflammatory or autoimmune disease, and had not been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease.

About this study

Official title: Serum autotaxın Level ın Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death. Early diagnosis is extremely important in terms of treatment and mortality. In this study, we investigated the diagnostic value of serum autotaxin levels in colorectal cancer.

Read the detailed description

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer worldwide. Among the causes of death due to cancer; it is the second most common among both genders with a rate of 9.2% after lung cancer . Early detection of the disease is important for survival. National screening programs attempt to detect this disease at an early stage.

Autotaxin (ATX) molecule is a member of the nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase enzyme family (ENNP), It is secreted at 125 kDa, has lysophospholipase D activity in the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) pathway, and is located at the 24th locus of the long arm of the 8th chromosome. This is also called ENPP2. It was discovered to be an autocrine motility-stimulating factor released by human melanoma A-2058 cells . Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid signalling molecule located in the cell membrane. LPA functions as an autocrine/paracrine messenger through at least six G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) known as LPA 1-6. It plays physiologically important roles in various cellular processes, including wound healing, differentiation, cell proliferation, and migration. The role of ATX in the bioactivity of LPA is correlated with the lysophosphatidyl-D (lysoPLD) activity of ATX. ATX molecule; With this enzyme activity, it plays a fundamental role in the conversion of lysophosphatidylcholine to lysophosphatidic acid . Many studies have demonstrated the biological effects of the autotaxin-lysophosphatidic acid (ATX-LPA) signalling pathway in cancer. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that increased ATX-LPA signalling contributes to cancer initiation and progression. Current evidence supports the role of the ATX-LPA signalling pathway in the proliferation, invasion, adhesion, and angiogenesis of cells, and is effective in cancer development and metastasis. Increased ATX expression has been reported in various cancers, such as glioblastoma, hepatocellular and thyroid carcinomas, breast, pancreatic, colon, and hematological cancers .

The ATX molecule has the feature of being a molecule that will be effective in the future, not only in the diagnosis of cancer, but also in the treatment process and to be studied extensively. in this study, we aimed to examine the diagnostic and biological behaviour relationship between serum ATX levels and colorectal cancer and to determine the cut-off value for serum ATX levels in colorectal cancer.

Serum ATX levels were compared between the patient and control groups. ATX levels were analysed in subgroups formed according to the demographic, clinical, pathological, and laboratory characteristics of the patient group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum autotaxın level

    The value measured by the Elisa method in blood samples taken from patients and healthy volunteers.

    Measured: one years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Tumor location

    It describes where this tumor is located in the colon in the patient group.

    Measured: one years

  2. TNM stages

    It describes the pathological staging of colorectal cancer patients.according to American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM system.

    Measured: one years

  3. tumor differentiation grade

    According to histopathological results, it is divided into three classes: well moderately and poor.

    Measured: one years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colo-rectal Cancer, run by Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Education and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 Oct 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Serum autotaxın level (time frame: one years). 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 Oct 2023.
