About this study

This study is to find out distribution of genetic polymorphisms and genes related to the chemotherapeutic drugs of ALL.

Read the detailed description

Cure rate of pediatric ALL dramatically improved over 80%. Resistance to drug and hematologic relapse are remaining problem in ALL treatment. One of the explanations of drug resistance and toxicities is the pharmacogenetic effect. Germline polymorphisms in genes that code for proteins involved in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antileukemic agents are various, and inter-patient variability is the main factor for pharmacogenetic difference. Since multiple chemotherapeutic agents are involved in treating ALL, many genes related to the metabolic pathways of those drugs have an effect on the pharmacokinetics of patients with ALL. In Korea, pharmacogenetic study including multiple genetic loci for pediatric ALL has not been reported.In this study, the distribution of genetic polymorphisms and genes related to antileukemic drugs were analyzed, and their relations to the outcome of treatment and relapse rates were assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. To find out distribution of genetic polymorphisms genes related to the pharmacodynamics of the ALL therapy

    • The distribution of each genetic polymorphism is descriped.
    • The differences in genetic polymorphism between risk groups (high vs. standard) are analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.

    Measured: up to 3 years from diagnosis

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To see the ethnic difference of genetic polymorphisms related to the chemotehrapeutic drugs of ALL

    • The differences in genetic polymorphism between other populations (Korean vs. Western or Japanese) are analyzed using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.

    Measured: whenever after diagnosis and genetic analysis (no time frame needed)

  2. To find out relation of genetic polymorphisms and clinical outcome (relapse or survival)

    • Event-free and overall survival are estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and the survival differences according to different genetic polymorphisms and prognostic variables are analyzed by log-rank test.

    Measured: up to 3 years from diagnosis

  3. To find out risk factors of relapse and death

    • Multivariate analysis is conducted with Cox proportional hazards regression model to analyze predictive factors. For the multivariate analysis, all significant univariate variables are entered in a stepwise, forward-selection protocol.

    Measured: up to 3 years from diagnosis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 14 Jul 2014. 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 South Korea. 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?

To find out distribution of genetic polymorphisms genes related to the pharmacodynamics of the ALL therapy (time frame: up to 3 years from diagnosis). 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 14 Jul 2014.
