About this study

Official title: Analysis of MicroRNA Expression in Down Syndrome Acute Myeloid Leukemia and the Transient Myeloproliferative Disorder

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood, tissue, and bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn about changes that occur in RNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research trial studies RNA samples from patients with Down syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia or other transient myeloproliferative disorder.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To compare miRNA expression in distinctive diagnostic groups: transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD), Down syndrome (DS) acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AMkL), non-DS AMkL, and in remission DS samples (representing germline, non-malignant samples).

OUTLINE: Archived RNA samples are analyzed for mature micro (mi)RNA expression by real-time RT-PCR. Results are then compared with miRNA expression of non-Down syndrome patients with acute megakaryocytic leukemia.

Conditions

Being tested

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 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?

Gene expression levels between DS AMKL and non-DS AMKL patients. 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.
