Testing a mouth test on biopsy samples from abnormal lesions
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
This trial looks at archived (saved) mouth biopsy samples to see how well the STRATICYTE™ test can identify potentially dangerous “pre-cancer-like” changes. It may help doctors screen or better understand which abnormal areas in the mouth later turn into oral cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an archived mouth biopsy tissue block kept at the same clinic center
- The original biopsy showed abnormal (dysplasia) changes in the mouth lining, or suspicious abnormal cells
- There was at least 5 years of follow-up for people who did not develop oral cancer
- Or, there is evidence that oral cancer (OSCC) later developed (documented or confirmed by pathology)
- The abnormal biopsy must not have already been accompanied by oral cancer at the time (or cancer progression within 3 months)

This trial compares two ways of checking whether early oral cavity squamous cell cancer has spread to neck lymph nodes. It tests whether sentinel lymph node biopsy can find spread as well as standard neck dissection, while potentially reducing more extensive surgery for some people.
This study looks at biopsy samples from mouth lesions that seem concerning, to see if a specific lab marker pattern can help predict whether oral cancer may be present or developing. It may help doctors sort which suspicious lesions need closer attention sooner.
This study looks at tissue and blood samples from people with mouth conditions that could become cancer or are already cancer. It aims to learn more about these conditions to improve diagnosis and treatment.
This research study examines how oral cancer develops by collecting tissue samples from people with oral cancer or pre-cancerous mouth conditions. The goal is to understand what changes happen in the mouth that lead to cancer, which may help improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.
This study is testing a new, simple test that looks for signs of oral or throat cancer. If you have a suspicious spot or symptom, this test might help find out if it's cancer.
This study compares two non-invasive methods to detect precancerous sores in the mouth. It aims to find a simpler way to catch early changes before they become cancer.
