About this study

Official title: SCOR in Targeted Therapies for Infant Leukemias Project 4: MicroRNA Sequencing of Infant AML

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in RNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is studying RNA biomarkers in tissue samples from infants with acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Sequence the microRNAs present in 20 infant AML samples as a pilot study.
  • Compare microRNAs present in infant AML samples to infant ALL samples that are being concurrently sequenced in a separate study to identify lineage- and translocation-specific microRNAs.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Previously collected cryopreserved cells from diagnosis are sequenced using reverse transcriptase-PCR.

Conditions
Leukemia
Being tested
RNA analysis, nucleic acid sequencing, reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, laboratory biomarker analysis
Keywords

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?

Sequence of the microRNAs present in 20 infant acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples. 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 17 May 2016.
