About this study

Official title: Genome-Wide Interrogations in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

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. It may also help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at DNA in blood and bone marrow samples from young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To manage and oversee determination of genome-wide genotypes using common laboratory methodologies for young patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
  • To provide a mechanism for storing, distributing, and tracking usage of blast and germline genomic information for approved projects.
  • To facilitate research for childhood ALL using genome-wide germline and blast data to identify genetic variations associated with important phenotypes: treatment response (e.g., relapse risk, minimal residual disease status), adverse effects (e.g., osteonecrosis, infection risk, neurotoxicity), risk of ALL, and risk of ALL subtypes (e.g., TEL/AML1, BCR/ABL, T-cell).
  • To provide a data resource, that can be linked with additional tumor cell information, to better characterize the biology and subtypes of childhood ALL.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

DNA from previously collected and banked blood and bone marrow samples is utilized for genome-wide genotyping.

Genotype data is only used to examine specific questions related to the epidemiology and etiology of leukemia, response of leukemia to treatment, risk of recurrence, risk for development of side effects, and complications related to treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of genome-wide genotypes

  2. Mechanism for storing, distributing, and tracking usage of blast and germline genomic information

  3. Identification of genetic variations associated with important phenotypes (treatment response, adverse effects, risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia [ALL], and risk of ALL subtypes)

  4. Data resource, that can be linked with additional tumor cell information, to better characterize the biology and subtypes of childhood ALL

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, 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 17 May 2016. 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?

Determination of genome-wide genotypes. 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 17 May 2016.
