Trial summary

This study investigates the prognostic value of dynamic changes in PCA3 mRNA levels found in the abdominal cavity drainage fluid after radical prostatectomy. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and radical prostatectomy is a standard treatment. Read more about this study

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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study will include male patients diagnosed with prostate cancer who need radical prostatectomy. Participants must have a preoperative diagnosis confirmed by biopsy and imaging studies. Eligible patients will have an abdominal drainage system in place post-surgery for fluid collection.

Who may be able to join

  • •Prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy

Who cannot join

  • 1. Received neoadjuvant endocrine/chemotherapy before surgery;
  • 2. Urine leakage after surgery (positive creatinine test of drainage fluid).

About this study

Official title: Prognostic Study of Prostate Cancer Via Dynamic Change of PCA3 mRNA in Abdominal Cavity Drainage Fluid After Radical Prostatectomy

This study investigates the prognostic value of dynamic changes in PCA3 mRNA levels found in the abdominal cavity drainage fluid after radical prostatectomy. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, and radical prostatectomy is a standard treatment. While PSA levels in the blood are commonly used as a marker for diagnosis, this study focuses on the significance of PCA3 mRNA levels in the prognosis of prostate cancer. The findings may provide insights into improved post-surgical monitoring and more tailored therapeutic strategies for prostate cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

This study examines the prognostic significance of PCA3 mRNA levels in the drainage fluid collected from the abdominal cavity following radical prostatectomy, a common surgical treatment for prostate cancer. PSA is widely used as a biomarker for prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment response, and recurrence monitoring in the blood. However, this research seeks to explore the prognostic value of PCA3 mRNA in the drainage fluid. The study involves continuous monitoring of PCA3 mRNA levels in the drainage fluid after radical prostatectomy, with the hypothesis that dynamic changes in these levels could serve as an early warning system for potential tumor recurrence, residual disease, or metastasis. The research will correlate these fluid PCA3 mRNA levels with patient outcomes, recurrence rates, and other clinical factors to determine their predictive value.

By investigating this novel source of PCA3 mRNA monitoring, the study aims to reduce invasive tests, enhance post-operative surveillance, and improve early detection of disease recurrence for prostate cancer patients. This research could contribute to refining post-surgical care protocols, offering a new tool for predict long-term outcomes for individuals undergoing radical prostatectomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostatic Neoplasms and Exosomes, run by Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.

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 1 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Nov 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Huaqi Zhan (18817532325, 0HuaChang@sjtu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PCA3 mRNA Levels in Drainage Fluid (time frame: Measured daily for up to 3 days post-surgery). 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 27 Nov 2024.
