About this study

Official title: Next-Generation Sequencing of Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Variable Region to Identify Previously Undetectable Minimal Residual Disease in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia With Prognostic Significance

RATIONALE: Testing for minimal residual disease in cell samples from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia may help doctors plan better treatment.

PURPOSE: This research trial studies a genetic test in identifying previously undetectable minimal residual disease in cell samples from younger patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To identify and characterize changes in clonal populations of B cells in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at diagnosis and Day 29 of induction.
  • To define the ability of this technology to reclassify patients as minimal residual disease (MRD) positive at Day 29 of induction.
  • To determine whether more sensitive detection of MRD at Day 29 would have clinical prognostic value in children with ALL.

OUTLINE: DNA extracted from diagnostic cells are analyzed for immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region by next-generation sequencing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification and characterization of changes in clonal populations of B cells in children with ALL

  2. Reclassification of patients as MRD positive at day 29

  3. Higher sensitivity detection that allow the stratification of the MRD population into 2 groups with lower and higher likelihood of relapse

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?

Identification and characterization of changes in clonal populations of B cells in children with ALL. The study lists 3 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.
