About this study

Official title: Genomic Analysis of Adolescent and Young Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors find better ways to treat cancer.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking into genes in samples from younger patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To identify somatically acquired genetic copy number and sequence alterations at the time of diagnosis in adolescent and young adults (AYA) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) samples and to correlate them with clinical and laboratory characteristics and outcome.
  • To identify specific microarray multi-gene and multi-exon expression signatures at the time of diagnosis and to correlate them with clinical and laboratory characteristics and outcome.
  • To gain insights into the genetic events that contribute to the formation, development and relapse of AYA ALL by integrating the copy number and sequence alterations with the multi-gene signatures and by comparing these with data already generated in pediatric ALL.

OUTLINE: Cryopreserved samples are analyzed for DNA copy number alterations and loss-of-heterozygosity, gene expression profiling, and mutation analysis by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarrays, Affymetrix Exon arrays, and whole genome amplification (WGA, Repli-G Qiagen). Confirmation studies are then done by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), reverse transcriptase (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE).

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of somatically acquired genetic copy number and sequence alterations

  2. Associations between genetic lesions (including mutations and copy number alterations) and known prognostic factors such as age group and white blood count at the time of diagnosis group using a Fisher exact test or Chi squared

  3. Association between genetic lesion and outcome using a Kaplan-Meier curve and perform logrank test for each lesion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, run by Eastern Cooperative 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2013. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 of somatically acquired genetic copy number and sequence alterations. 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 10 Jul 2013.
