About this study

Official title: A Study of the Relationship Between Natural Killer Cell Recognition and Lysis of Autologous Leukemic Blasts and Clinical Outcome of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients Treated With Interleukin-2: A CALGB Leukemia Tissue Bank Project

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors predict response in patients previously treated with interleukin-2.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at the relationship between natural killer cells' ability to kill leukemia cells and the outcome of patients with acute myeloid leukemia previously treated with interleukin-2.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Correlate the in vitro lysis of autologous pre-treatment leukemic blast cells by interleukin-2 (IL-2)-expanded natural killer (NK) cells with relapse-free survival of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who were treated with interleukin-2 (IL-2).
  • Correlate the expression of inhibitory (MHC class I) and activating ligands on AML blast cells with relapse-free survival of these patients.
  • Correlate the expression of activating and inhibitory NK receptors on IL-2-expanded cells with relapse-free survival of these patients.
  • Compare the susceptibility to autologous NK cell lysis of leukemic blasts obtained at diagnosis with those blasts obtained at relapse of these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age (< 60 vs ≥ 60 years) and cytogenetic risk category (favorable vs average vs poor).

Previously banked tissue samples of leukemic blast cells from bone marrow and natural killer (NK) cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells are thawed and analyzed. Surface expression on leukemic blasts of co-stimulatory molecules, known activating NKG2D ligands, and MHC class I inhibitory ligands to NK cell receptors are quantified by monoclonal antibody analysis and flow cytometry. Mean cell fluorescence intensity (MCFI) of each ligand is correlated with relapse-free survival of the patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 2 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 13 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 2 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?

Correlation of in vitro lysis of autologous pre-treatment acute myeloid leukemia (AML) blasts with relapse-free survival (time frame: Up to 10 years). The study lists 4 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 13 Jul 2016.
