Predictive Value of Progastrin Titer at Diagnosis and of Progastrin Kinetics During Treatment in Cancer Patients

Study on Progastrin Levels in Cancer Patients for Diagnostic and Prognostic Purposes

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates the levels of progastrin in patients with various types of cancer, including breast, gastric, renal, prostate, lung, and others. Progastrin is a substance that can be found in the blood of cancer patients and is linked to a pathway involved in cancer development.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how progastrin levels change during treatment and how these levels might predict the progress and outcomes of the disease. This could provide important information for diagnosing and understanding the prognosis of cancer patients.

  • Who can participate: Adults over 18 years may participate. Participants must provide informed consent and be part of a social insurance program.
  • Study details: Participants will have their blood tested for progastrin levels to track changes during treatment. Some participants may receive treatments like surgery or chemotherapy.

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?
