About this study

Official title: Tissue Bank for Studies Related to Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD)

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of blood, urine, and tissue from patients undergoing a donor stem cell transplant to test in the laboratory may help the study of graft-versus-host disease in the future.

PURPOSE: This research study is collecting and storing tissue and DNA samples from patients undergoing a donor stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To establish a DNA bank from donor and recipient (prior to transplant) peripheral blood for SNP studies.
  • To establish a tissue bank for gene expression studies using donor and recipient (post-transplant) peripheral blood samples.
  • To establish a tissue bank for proteomic studies using donor and recipient blood and urine samples.
  • To establish a tissue bank for various studies using biopsy specimens.
  • To establish a tissue bank for flow cytometric studies using recipient (post-transplant), and sample from stem cell product.

OUTLINE: Peripheral blood samples are collected from donors prior to stem cell mobilization and from patients prior to starting preparative regimen. Samples are studied by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis, SNP array, proteomic analysis, gene expression, and other immunological laboratory methods. Blood, urine, and tissue samples are preserved for future studies. Extra skin biopsies and gastrointestinal biopsies are performed at diagnosis of graft-vs-host disease and preserved in a tissue bank for flow cytometric studies.

Being tested
gene expression analysis, microarray analysis, polymorphism analysis, proteomic profiling, flow cytometry
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms, Myeloproliferative Disorders, Gestational Trophoblastic Disease, Graft vs Host Disease, Leukemia, Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, Neoplasms, Plasma Cell

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at 3 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 6 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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?

DNA bank from donor and recipient (prior to transplant) peripheral blood for single nucleotide polymorphism studies (time frame: Completion of transplant). 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 Nov 2012.
