About this study

Official title: Proposal for Combining ECOG Myeloma Trial SNP Data

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at DNA samples from patients with multiple myeloma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine whether there is an increased frequency of 1 or more polymorphic alleles that are associated with clinical endpoints using custom myeloma single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip analysis of banked DNA samples from patients with multiple myeloma.
  • Determine SNPs associated with toxicities caused, not by variations in tumor cell genetics, but by individual genetic variations affecting drug activation, distribution, metabolism, and export (ADME).
  • Determine SNPs associated with response, influenced by the same ADME.
  • Determine SNPs associated with bone disease (as a variable) among patients with multiple myeloma.
  • Determine SNPs associated with epidemiology (i.e., risk factors for the development of multiple myeloma).

OUTLINE: This is a retrospective, multicenter study.

Banked DNA samples are analyzed using a custom single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip to assess approximately 3,590 SNPs from 1,061 genes that are associated with myeloma growth and response.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 600 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group.

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 19 May 2017. 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 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?

Increased frequency of ≥1 polymorphic alleles associated with clinical endpoints using custom myeloma SNP chip analysis of banked DNA samples from patients with multiple myeloma (time frame: 1 month). The study lists 5 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 19 May 2017.
