About this study

Official title: Investigation to Evaluate the Levels of Human Germinal-center-Associated Lymphoma (HGAL) Protein in Pediatric Hodgkin Lymphoma and Correlate With Early Response

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research trial is studying protein biomarker levels in tissue samples from young patients with low-risk Hodgkin lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To investigate the variability of expression of human geminal-center-associated lymphoma (HGAL) protein in pediatric low-risk Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • To assess the variability of HGAL staining between risk groups by comparing samples from subjects enrolled in the low-risk study AHOD0431 with subject samples enrolled in AHOD0031 for intermediate-risk classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL).
  • To assess the variability of HGAL staining by evaluating a tissue array created from subjects with intermediate-risk cHL.
  • To correlate rapid or slow early-response in the intermediate-risk group with HGAL protein expression.

OUTLINE: Paraffin-embedded tissue samples and tissue microarrays are analyzed for protein expression by IHC.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Variability of HGAL protein expression in pediatric patients with low-risk classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL)

  2. Variability of HGAL staining between low-risk and intermediate-risk pediatric patients with cHL

  3. Variability of HGAL staining as assessed by tissue array in pediatric patients with intermediate-risk cHL

  4. Correlation of rapid or slow early response in the intermediate-risk group with HGAL protein expression

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma, 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?

Variability of HGAL protein expression in pediatric patients with low-risk classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). 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 17 May 2016.
