About this study

Official title: Detection of Minimal Residual Disease in Newly Diagnosed Patients With Leukemia and Those Who Undergo a Bone Marrow Transplant Using the Wilms Tumor Suppressor Gene (WT1) as a Marker By RT-PCR

The purpose of this study is to determine if WT1 is an adequate measurement of minimal residual disease in leukemic patients.

Read the detailed description

Patients with acute Leukemia may have a large number of leukemic cells at the time that leukemia is evident clinically. At the time that we determine that a patient is in complete remission (CR) the patient may still have leukemic cells present in smaller quantities. One of the most important factors in the successful treatment of patients with leukemia is the ability to determine if the eradication of leukemia has been achieved. The determination of Minimal Residual Disease may be important in the determination of the therapy that a given patient will receive as determined by the level of residual disease.

WT1 gene function and expression. The WT1 gene is a candidate gene for Wilms tumor, which is thought to arise as a result from inactivation of both alleles of the WT1 gene located at chromosome 11p13. The WT1 gene has been considered a tumor suppressor gene because intragenic deletions or mutations are found in tumors, germline mutations have been found in-patients with leukemia, and mediates growth suppression of Wilms tumor cells expressing a WT1 splicing variant.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To assess the presence of the WT1 gene at the time of relapse in-patients with acute or chronic leukemia.

  2. To determine longitudinally its value as a marker for minimal residual disease (MRD) and its correlation to leukemia free survival after bone marrow transplantation.

  3. To assess the presence of the WT1 gene in newly diagnosed patients with leukemia (ALL, ANLL) at the time of diagnoses and during the course of their treatment and correlate it with leukemia free survival (LFS) and relapse.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing WT 1 Testing in people with Leukemia and Cancer, run by Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 0 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

To assess the presence of the WT1 gene at the time of relapse in-patients with acute or chronic leukemia.. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 Feb 2025.
