About this study

Official title: Identifying Stat3-Dependent Chemotherapy Resistance Pathways in Relapsed AML

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer and development of drug resistance in patients.

PURPOSE: This research trial is studying proteins that may promote chemotherapy resistance in samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Investigate whether changes in prosurvival signaling occur by comparing activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (Stat3) and Stat5 pathways in paired diagnostic and relapse samples.
  • Investigate changes in leukemia cell responses to extrinsic cues from the environment change, using a bone marrow stromal-cell co-culture model of chemotherapy resistance.

OUTLINE: Cryopreserved samples are analyzed for Stat3 and Stat5 expression by flow cytometry and in vitro chemotherapy sensitivity.

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 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?

Changes in Stat3 and Stat5 in paired diagnostic and relapsed 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 18 May 2016.
