About this study

Official title: Collection of Bone Marrow and Peripheral Blood for Testing of Notch-induced Natural Killer Cell Activity

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of bone marrow and blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors find better ways to treat the cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at natural killer cells in bone marrow and blood samples from patients with hematologic cancer and from patients who do not have cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To collect normal and malignant cells in bone marrow and peripheral blood samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, or multiple myeloma and from patients with no malignancy to use as target cells in cytotoxicity assays.
  • To collect information about HLA type and immunophenotype of malignant cells as determined by clinical flow cytometry.

OUTLINE: Bone marrow aspirates and/or peripheral blood samples are collected and used as target cells in standard cytotoxicity assays, with notch-induced natural killer (N-NK) cells as the effector cells, to determine whether N-NK cells are capable of killing malignant cells and/or non-malignant cells. Receptor-blocking antibodies may be added to determine which NK cell receptors are responsible for malignant cell recognition and killing.

Information about HLA type and immunophenotype of the malignant cells is collected from the patient's medical record.

What is being measured

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

  1. Collection of normal and malignant cells to use as target cells in cytotoxicity assays

    Measured: We anticipate collecting approximately 30 samples in total, over a 1-2 year period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia and Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 2015. 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 (reason given: PI closed lab). 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?

Collection of normal and malignant cells to use as target cells in cytotoxicity assays (time frame: We anticipate collecting approximately 30 samples in total, over a 1-2 year period.). 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 9 Oct 2015.
