About this study

Official title: Identifying Rare Genetic Variants Involved in High Risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Via Pooled DNA Sequencing

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood or tumor 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 studying biomarkers in DNA samples from patients with newly diagnosed high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To perform pooled DNA sequencing in 56 genes from the genomic DNA of unaffected children and matched non-tumor and blast DNA from patients with high-risk (HR) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) enrolled on COG HR ALL protocols.
  • To identify loci enriched for genetic variation between DNA of unaffected children and DNA of these patients.
  • To individually validate novel, putatively functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified via pooled sequencing with another genotyping platform.
  • To correlate HR ALL with clinical phenotypes, co-morbidities, toxicities, outcomes to the genes or pathways found to harbor a significant increase in genetic variation.

OUTLINE: DNA specimens from unaffected children (pool 1) and from patients with non-tumor (pool 2) and leukemia blasts (pool 3) are analyzed for genetic pathophysiology of pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia by microarray and PCR assays. Sequencing is performed on each of the 3 PCR pools of DNA.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of loci enriched for genetic variation suggestive of pre-B leukemogenesis

  2. Correlation between high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia with clinical phenotypes, co-morbidities, toxicities, outcomes to the genes or pathways found to harbor a significant increase in genetic variation

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 11 Jul 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?

Identification of loci enriched for genetic variation suggestive of pre-B leukemogenesis. The study lists 2 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 11 Jul 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
