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

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03787056

What this study is testing

What it's testing
Progastrin is a pro-hormone that, in physiological conditions, is maturated in gastrin in G cells of the stomach. The role of the gastrin is to stimulate the secretion of gastric acids during digestion.

A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
