About this study

Official title: Genetic and Epigenetic Determinants of Chemotherapy Resistance and Adverse Outcome in Elderly Patients With AML

RATIONALE: Studying blood samples 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 trial studies biomarkers related to chemotherapy resistance and outcomes in samples from older patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Delineate the spectrum of genetic and epigenetic lesions occurring in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
  • Determine the biological functions perturbed by these lesions.
  • Identify and validate lesions or pathways that are most highly associated with chemo-sensitive and chemo-refractory disease, and with adverse outcome in elderly AML.
  • Identify potential classifiers and biomarker lesions that we can then evaluate prospectively in the E2906 trial which is about to begin enrollment.

OUTLINE: DNA and RNA extracted from cell samples are analyzed for genetic and epigenetic expression by Agilent SureSelect sequencing, Illumina HiSeq2000 platform coding and sequencing, DNA methylation, and microarray assays. Results are then associated with patients' overall survival, progression-free survival, and complete response rate. Results are also analyzed assessing the prognostic relevance of known mutations and epigenetic alterations that have shown to have an impact on overall survival and response to therapy in younger patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in E1900 including, but not limited to, FLT3, DNMT3A, IDH1, IDH2, TET2, ASXL1, WT1, and MLL, and 15-gene DNA methylation classifier, and with novel recurrent mutations identified by other AML-profiling efforts.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, run by Eastern Cooperative 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 2017. 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?

Genetic and epigenetic determinants of chemoresistance and adverse outcomes (time frame: 1 year). 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 2017.
