About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Partial Tandem Duplication of ALL1 (MLL) in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia- A CALGB Leukemia Tissue Bank Project

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as genetic testing, may improve the ability to detect acute myeloid leukemia and determine the extent of disease.

PURPOSE: Diagnostic study to try to detect changes in the genes of patients who have acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the frequency of partial tandem duplication of ALL1 (MLL) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
  • Determine the predictive value of partial tandem duplication of ALL1 to identify a subset of AML patients who have a short duration of complete remission.

OUTLINE: All samples are obtained from specimens collected on CALGB-9665. No additional blood or bone marrow samples are collected.

Samples are examined by Southern blot analysis for gene rearrangement at 11q23. Samples showing evidence of ALL1 gene rearrangement are further analyzed by reverse transcription PCR amplification and/or cytogenetic analysis to detect partial tandem duplication of ALL1.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 46 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 4 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 46 sites in United States. 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?

frequency of partial tandem duplication of ALL1 (MLL) (time frame: Up to 10 years). 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 4 Jul 2016.
