About this study

Official title: Cytogenetic and Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization Studies in Multiple Myeloma

RATIONALE: Studying the chromosomes in samples of bone marrow and blood in the laboratory from patients with cancer or other blood diseases may help doctors learn more about the disease.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is analyzing chromosomes in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma or other blood disease.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the frequency of deletion 13 as detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and conventional cytogenetics in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) or other monoclonal gammopathies (MG).
  • Examine the prognostic value of specific subsets of chromosome aberrations detected by conventional cytogenetics and FISH in relation to event-free and overall survival in these patients.
  • Compare the prognostic value of cytogenetics and FISH with other MM and MG prognostic factors in these patients.
  • Correlate the presence of cytogenetic and FISH features with clinical pathophysiological, cellular, or other molecular characteristics in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive treatment as directed by the treatment clinical trial on which they are registered. Patients undergo bone marrow or blood sample collection periodically for conventional cytogenetic analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization studies (FISH). Samples are analyzed for deleted 13q/monosomy 13 and chromosomal abnormalities.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 500 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2015. 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?

Frequency of deletion 13 as detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and conventional cytogenetics (time frame: 1 year). 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 6 Mar 2015.
