Trial summary

Identification of alterations potentially involved in the complex mechanisms of leukemogenesis and at the identification and validation of novel biological factors which may serve as predictors of drug-response and drug-resistance or which may be suitable for targeted therapy.

About this study

Official title: High Resolution Genome Wide-Copy Number Profiling and Pharmacogenomic Analysis in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia by Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Arrays

Identification of alterations potentially involved in the complex mechanisms of leukemogenesis and at the identification and validation of novel biological factors which may serve as predictors of drug-response and drug-resistance or which may be suitable for targeted therapy.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will use several approach to identify common genetic variations: single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), genomic insertions and deletions, and genetic copy number variations (CNVs), interchromosomal translocations, loss of heterozygosity (LOH), and uniparental disomy (UPD), Epigenetic changes, such as silencing of gene expression via DNA hypermethylation, that can also influence drug effects, and aberrant methylation of CpG islands is a common feature of cancer cells. Over the years, methods of cytogenetic analysis evolved and became part of routine laboratory testing, providing valuable diagnostic and prognostic information in hematologic disorders. The recently developed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays offer the ability to define simultaneously the copy number changes and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) events occurring in a tumor, at high resolution and throughout the genome. In addition to information on copy number changes, SNP arrays allow us to investigate the impact of a high number of SNPs on drug response and toxicity This molecular integrated approach will lead to the identification of alterations potentially involved in the complex mechanisms of leukemogenesis and at the identification and validation of novel biological factors which may serve as predictors of drug-response and drug-resistance or which may be suitable for targeted therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. To provide high resolution molecular karyotyping analysis by single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP 6.0, Affymetrix) of adult patients with diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), newly enrolled in clinical trials

    Measured: December 2011

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To study by pharmacogenomic analysis based on SNPs profile, and predict the individual susceptibility (i.e. efficacy and toxicity) to therapeutic treatment and disease development

    Measured: December 2011

  2. To identify useful biomarkers for disease outcome and disease progression

    Measured: December 2011

  3. To identify useful biomarkers related to drug exposure or to response to potential toxic drugs

    Measured: December 2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Adult, run by University of Bologna at 1 site in Italy.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2010. 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Giovanni Martinelli, Prof (+39 051 636 ext. 3829, giovanni.martinelli2@unibo.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To provide high resolution molecular karyotyping analysis by single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP 6.0, Affymetrix) of adult patients with diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), newly enrolled in clinical trials (time frame: December 2011). 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 30 Nov 2010.
