About this study

Official title: The Genetics of "Non-Response" in Adult AML

RATIONALE: Studying samples of bone marrow and blood from patients with cancer who failed treatment may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer resistance. It may also help doctors find better ways to treat cancer.

PURPOSE: This research trial studies biomarkers in samples from adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia who failed standard-of-care treatment.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Define a "non-response" signature that will help up-front identification of cases of intermediate-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) destined to fail existing standard-of-care therapy.
  • Identify biological pathways in the "non-response" group that can provide targets for novel therapeutics.

OUTLINE: DNA and RNA extracted from cryopreserved bone marrow cells and/or blood cells are analyzed for mutations and gene expression signatures (genome-wide methylation, mRNA and miRNA expression, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis) by microarray assays.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI).

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2013. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Genetic signature predictive of progression and drug resistance in AML. 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 10 Jul 2013.
