About this study

Official title: Validation of Prognostic Markers for Very Low Risk Wilms Tumors

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue 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 clinical trial studies biomarkers in tumor tissue samples from young patients with very low risk Wilms tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To validate the utility of CUGBP2, HMGA2, and MEIS2 mRNA expression and 11p15 methylation to define a population of pediatric patients with very low risk Wilms tumor (VLRWT) that have virtually no risk of relapse.
  • To validate the utility of WT-1 mutation and 11p15 loss of heterozygosity analysis to determine a population of VLRWT that have a higher risk of relapse when not treated with chemotherapy.
  • To validate the utility of NFYA, STRA6, TOB2, PDCD4, and SP3 mRNA expression to predict relapse in VLRWT.
  • To investigate the feasibility of broadening the definition of VLRWT through analysis of stage I and II epithelial differentiated tumors registered on clinical trial COG-Q9401 (NWTS-5) for CUGBP2, HMGA2, MEIS2, and 11p15 methylation.

OUTLINE: Previously banked tumor tissue samples are analyzed for mRNA expression of CUGBP2, HMGA2, and MEIS2 via reverse-transcriptase (RT)-PCR and are classified as loss of heterozygosity (LOH), loss of imprinting, or neither via 11p15 analysis. Samples are also analyzed for WT-1 mutation via quantitative PCR and 11p LOH using 11p15 methylation analysis and expression of NFYA, STRA6, TOB2, PDCD4, and SP3 via quantitative RT-PCR

What is being measured

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

  1. Utility of CUGBP2, HMGA2, and MEIS2 mRNA expression and 11p15 methylation to define a population of pediatric patients with very low risk Wilms tumor (VLRWT) that have virtually no risk of relapse

  2. Utility of WT-1 mutation and 11p15 loss of heterozygosity analysis to determine a population of VLRWT that have a higher risk of relapse when not treated with chemotherapy

  3. Utility of NFYA, STRA6, TOB2, PDCD4, and SP3 mRNA expression to predict relapse in VLRWT

  4. Feasibility of broadening the definition of VLRWT through analysis of stage I and II epithelial differentiated tumors registered on clinical trial COG-Q9401 (NWTS-5) for CUGBP2, HMGA2, MEIS2, and 11p15 methylation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Cancer, run by Children's Oncology Group.

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 7 May 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?

Utility of CUGBP2, HMGA2, and MEIS2 mRNA expression and 11p15 methylation to define a population of pediatric patients with very low risk Wilms tumor (VLRWT) that have virtually no risk of relapse. 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 7 May 2015.
