  • Patients who participated in the NWTS-5 protocol
  • Non-syndromic patients who developed end-stage renal disease (ESRD) during 5-10 years for reasons other than progressive bilateral WT
  • Matched control patients who had not developed ESRD by the time (since WT onset) of ESRD diagnosis
  • Blood and tumor tissue samples available

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Not specified

About this study

Official title: Pilot Case-Control Study of WT1 Mutations in Wilms Tumor Patients Who Develop ESRD

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and 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 blood and tumor tissue samples from patients with Wilms tumor.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine whether Wilms Tumor (WT) patients without WT1-associated congenital anomalies or syndromes, but with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) unrelated to progressive bilateral tumors, carry germline WT1 mutations.
  • To determine whether non-syndromic WT1 germline mutation carriers have a substantially higher incidence of ESRD than do WT patients who do not harbor WT1 mutations.

OUTLINE: Archived blood and tumor tissue specimens (or DNA isolated from these samples) are analyzed for WT1 mutations by gene sequencing and PCR.

Being tested
mutation analysis, polymerase chain reaction, laboratory biomarker analysis
Keywords
stage I Wilms tumor, stage II Wilms tumor, stage III Wilms tumor, stage IV Wilms tumor, stage V Wilms tumor, renal failure
Medical subject headings
Kidney Neoplasms, Renal Insufficiency, Wilms Tumor

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Cancer and Renal Failure, 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 18 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?

Higher incidence of ESRD in non-syndromic WT patients with germline WT1 mutations than WT patients without WT1 mutations. 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 18 May 2016.
