About this study

Official title: OBSERVATIONAL: Replication Profiling as a Diagnostic Tool in B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

This clinical trial is studying biomarkers as a diagnostic tool in samples from younger patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Finding specific biomarkers may help improve the treatment of patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Read the detailed description

STUDY SUBTYPE: Ancillary/Correlative

OBSERVATIONAL STUDY MODEL: Case-only

TIME PERSPECTIVE: Retrospective

BIOSPECIMEN RETENTION: Samples with DNA

BIOSPECIMEN DESCRIPTION: Fresh and frozen bone marrow cells

STUDY POPULATION DESCRIPTION: Patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic samples banked at the COG Cell Bank

SAMPLING METHOD: Non-probability sample

OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine whether we can identify individuals within a specific sub-group of pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients that will eventually recur.

II. To identify replication-timing changes as a biomarker for further risk prediction.

III. To identify differences between patients of similar subtype, and choose candidate differences to analyze by methods that are compatible with frozen samples.

OUTLINE:

Archived cell samples are analyzed for replication timing by flow cytometry, microarray, and single-cell fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays. Replication-timing results among cases and controls are also analyzed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of B-cell Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Remission, run by Children's Oncology Group at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Replication-timing changes as a biomarker for further risk prediction by FISH (time frame: 2 months). 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.
