About this study

Official title: Determining the Clinicopathological Significance of CaMKIIgamma Activation in AML

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

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at blood and bone marrow samples from patients with previously untreated primary acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine whether calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II-γ (CaMKIIγ) activation (autophosphorylation) is associated with specific clinicopathological variables and outcomes in blood and bone marrow samples from patients with previously untreated primary acute myeloid leukemia.

OUTLINE: Blood and bone marrow samples are analyzed by western blot using SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting using anti-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II-γ (CaMKIIγ) and anti-phosphospecific (Thr286, 287) CaMKIIγ antibodies with signals detected via chemiluminescence. CaMKIIγ activation levels are linked to clinical variables within the SWOG database.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network.

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 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?

Association of specific clinicopathological variables and outcomes with calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II-γ (CaMKIIγ) activation (autophosphorylation) (time frame: upon receipt of specimens). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00899743, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.
