About this study

Primary Objectives:

  1. To enroll and obtain, through questionnaires, risk factor information on all study participants to develop detailed demographic, epidemiologic and behavioral profiles.
  2. To assess the influence of relevant epidemiologic covariates such as age, gender, smoking and family history of cancer on the panel of susceptibility biomarkers.
  3. To evaluate the role of genomic instability in development of lymphomas.
Read the detailed description

This study will include individuals diagnosed with lymphoma and individuals with no history of cancer. Half of the participants in this study will have lymphoma, and half will have no history of cancer. Information from both groups will be compared to help researchers try to learn which factors may lead to the development of lymphoma.

If you agree to take part in this study, you will be asked to complete a questionnaire at M. D. Anderson. In this questionnaire, you will be asked about your demographics (such as your age, sex, etc.), certain environmental exposures (such as pollution), your medical history, family history, diet, and your past and present smoking and alcohol use habits. This questionnaire should take about 50 minutes to complete.

You will also have about 2 ½ tablespoons of blood drawn for special tests. These tests will look for any biologic factors (such as changes in your DNA) that may be linked to lymphoma. You will not be informed of the results of any of the testing done with your blood samples.

Your participation will be over in this study once your blood has been drawn.

This is an investigational study. Up to 800 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

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 2 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 identify biologic (such as genes) and lifestyle factors that may increase a person's risk of developing lymphoma. (time frame: 4 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 24 Feb 2012.
