About this study

Official title: Topoisomerase 2 Expression and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

RATIONALE: Studying samples of 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.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at biomarker expression in bone marrow samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Estimate the distributions of topoisomerase 2 (TOP2) expression and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
  • Estimate the distributions of mutations in TOP2 phosphorylation sites (by SNP analysis) in these patients.
  • Investigate whether expression of TOP2 or mutations in TOP2 phosphorylation sites vary with patient or disease characteristics in these patients.
  • Test whether TOP2 expression correlates with complete remission rates, relapse-free survival, and overall survival of these patients.
  • Conduct preliminary analyses to estimate the distributions of TOP2 expression and mutations in TOP2 phosphorylation sites (by SNP analysis) in patients with relapsed and/or refractory AML.
  • Investigate whether expression of TOP2 and mutations in TOP2 phosphorylation sites vary with patient or disease characteristics in patients with relapsed and/or refractory AML.
  • Test whether TOP2 expression and mutations in TOP2 phosphorylation sites differ between previously untreated and relapsed/refractory AML patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Archived RNA specimens are analyzed for topoisomerase 2 transcriptional expression by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and for mutations within TOP2 phosphorylation sites by single nucleotide polymorphism analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network.

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 6 Mar 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?

Distribution of topoisomerase 2 (TOP2) expression and single nucleotide polymorphisms (time frame: immediate). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01059734, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 6 Mar 2015.
