About this study

Official title: Validation of Copy Number Changes by MLPA as Predictors of Relapse in Wilms Tumor

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

PURPOSE: This research trial studies biomarkers in samples from younger patients with Wilms tumor.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To analyze 250 favorable-histology Wilms tumor (FHWT) samples from patients registered on NWTS4 for gain of 1q and 15q, and loss of 1p, 16q, 17p, and 22q by subtelomeric multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), and to determine their association with relapse-free and overall survival.
  • To develop a robust multiplex MLPA test using multiple synthesized probes to those targets identified as significantly associated with relapse in Aim 1.
  • To validate the multiplex MLPA test designed and tested in Aim 2 on an independent set of 1727 FHWT and 250 anaplastic WT registered on NWTS-5.

OUTLINE: Archived DNA samples are analyzed for gain of 1q and 15q, and loss of 1p, 16q, 17p, and 22q by MLPA. Assay results are then researched for accuracy, clinical validity, sensitivity, precision, and potential analytical interferences.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Kidney Cancer, 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 14 Jul 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?

Validation of copy number changes (gain of 1q and 15q, and loss of 1p, 16q, 17p, and 22q) in FHWT by the MLPA assay. 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 2016.
