Trial summary

Copy number variation(CNV) refers to ongoing chromosome segregation errors throughout consecutive cell divisions. CNV is a hallmark of human cancer, and it is associated with poor prognosis, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-centre, Single-blinded Study of UCAD for Diagnosing Benign or Malignant Gallbladder Diseases and Follow-up

Copy number variation(CNV) refers to ongoing chromosome segregation errors throughout consecutive cell divisions. CNV is a hallmark of human cancer, and it is associated with poor prognosis, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Analyzing CNV of the DNA extracted from bile samples in gallbladder seems a promising method for diagnosing, monitoring, and predicting the prognosis of patients with gallbladder cancer. CNV can be assessed using experimental techniques such as bulk DNA sequencing, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), or conventional karyotyping. However, these techniques are either time-consuming or non-specific. The investigators here intend to study whether a new method named Ultrasensitive Chromosomal Aneuploidy Detection (UCAD), which is based on low-coverage whole-genome sequencing, can be used to analyze CNV thus helping diagnose gallbladder cancer and assessing follow-up.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • The level of CNVDiagnostic test

    The extracted DNA from bile will be analyzed by UCAD to determine the level of CNV. And the patient will be followed more than 1 year.

What is being measured

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

  1. UCAD can be used as a diagnostic technology for gallbladder cancer with the sensitivity more than 90%

    Ultrasensitive chromosomal aneuploidy detection (UCAD) uses low-coverage whole-genome sequencing technology to detect DNA chromosomal instability in samples. By detecting DNA extracted from patients' bile and blood, bioinformatics can be used to analyze the differences in CNV between benign and malignant gallbladder diseases, and a prediction model for gallbladder cancer.

    Measured: 2025

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gallbladder Cancer, run by Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine 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 1 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 1 Feb 2024. 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?

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?

UCAD can be used as a diagnostic technology for gallbladder cancer with the sensitivity more than 90% (time frame: 2025). 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 NCT06232538, 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 1 Feb 2024.
