About this study

Official title: Critical Role of MicroRNA-34a and MicroRNA-194 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia With CEBPA Mutations

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 research study is looking at biomarkers in cell samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the significance of regulation of microRNA-34a and microRNA-194 by C/EBPα during granulopoiesis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia with CEBPA mutations.
  • To determine whether overexpression of micro RNA-34a and microRNA-194 in myeloid progenitors with C/EBPα mutations leads to granulocytic differentiation.
  • To examine how microRNA-34a and microRNA-194 downregulate E2F3 during granulopoiesis.
  • To determine the role of microRNA-34a and microRNA-194 in myeloid cell proliferation.

OUTLINE: Cryopreserved cell samples are collected for laboratory analysis, including mutation analysis, gene expression analysis, RNA analysis, and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis.

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.

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?

Significance of regulation of microRNA-34a and microRNA-194 by C/EBPα during granulopoiesis. 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.
