About this study

Official title: Application of Salivary and Plasma Exosomes in the Diagnosis of Oral Leukoplakia Malignant Transformation and Prognosis Monitoring of Oral Cancer

The goal of this observational study is to test the expression levels of salivary and plasma exosomal miR-185 in patients with oral leukoplakia and oral squamous cell carcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Is it possible to identify the cancer risk of oral leukoplakia in its early stages by detecting salivary and plasma exosomal miR-185?
  • Is it possible to monitor the cancer risk of oral leukoplakia and the prognosis of oral cancer using salivary exosomal miR-185?

Participants will be asked to:

  • Cooperate with the investigators in completing the oral examination.
  • Take saliva and plasma before the biopsy surgery.
  • Perform the biopsy surgery following the usual diagnostic procedures.
  • Attend regular follow-up appointments (every 3 months) for the duration of the study.
Read the detailed description

The first part of the study is a cross-sectional study in which the investigators will detect the expression level of salivary exosomal miR-185 in the participants at a single time point. The second part of the study is a prospective cohort study, in which the investigators will conduct regular follow-ups on the participants enrolled in the first part.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Detect the expression level of miR-185 in salivary and plasma exosomes.Other

    Participants were instructed to refrain from eating, drinking, brushing their teeth, rinsing their mouth, or taking medications for one hour before saliva collection. They were then asked to bend over, lower their head, open their mouth, and allow saliva to flow naturally without chewing or spitting. Using a specialized container, 2 mL of unstimulated saliva was collected.

    Participants fasted overnight before blood collection. Researchers used plasma tubes containing anticoagulant (EDTA) to obtain venous blood (4-5 mL) from the participants\' upper arm. Subsequently, the blood was gently inverted to ensure optimal contact with the anticoagulant before centrifugation at 2000 rpm and 4°C for 10 minutes. Following centrifugation, the supernatant was extracted.

What is being measured

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

  1. The expression level of miR-185 in salivary exosomes

    Exosomes were isolated from saliva using ultracentrifugation, and total RNA from the exosomes was extracted using TRIzol reagent. Subsequently, the expression level of miR-185 was detected by RT-qPCR.

    Measured: Baseline, pre-biopsy surgery.

  2. The expression level of miR-185 in plasma exosomes

    Exosomes were isolated from plasma using ultracentrifugation, and total RNA from the exosomes was extracted using TRIzol reagent. Subsequently, the expression level of miR-185 was detected by RT-qPCR.

    Measured: Baseline, pre-biopsy surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Oral Leukoplakia and Oral Cancer, run by Beijing Stomatological Hospital, Capital Medical University 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 24 Jun 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?

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?

The expression level of miR-185 in salivary exosomes (time frame: Baseline, pre-biopsy surgery.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06469892, which also lists 14 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 24 Jun 2024.
