About this study

Official title: Analysis of Fanconi Anemia Gene Function by Microarray Analysis of Bone Marrow Cells

RATIONALE: Studying samples of bone marrow from patients with Fanconi anemia and from healthy participants in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to Fanconi anemia.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is evaluating gene function in bone marrow cells from patients with Fanconi anemia and from healthy participants.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Describe the complete hematopoietic transcriptomes of Fanconi cells of every common complementation group (e.g., A, C, G, and F) as well as transcriptomes of neoplastic cells derived from bone marrow of patients with Fanconi anemia.
  • Define large-scale dynamic gene expression data in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients and healthy volunteers undergo bone marrow aspiration or biopsy for biological studies. Samples are analyzed for gene expression profiles using microarray assays.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 80 patients and 10 healthy volunteers will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of Fanconi anemia (FA) hematopoietic cells vs normal hematopoietic cells

  2. Comparison of FA hematopoietic cells from children with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/acute myeloid leukemia (AML) vs children (siblings) with FA but without MDS/AML

  3. Comparison of FA cells from different complementation groups

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fanconi Anemia, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute 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?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2017. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Comparison of Fanconi anemia (FA) hematopoietic cells vs normal hematopoietic cells. 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 Dec 2017.
