Trial summary

Acute erythroid leukemia (AEL) is a morphologically distinct, infrequent (o5%) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) designed as M6 in the French- American-British (FAB) classification. The World Health Organization classification recognizes two subclasses, M6a, a leukemia with myeloid blast cells, and M6b, a very rare, purely… Read more about this study

About this study

Acute erythroid leukemia (AEL) is a morphologically distinct, infrequent (o5%) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) designed as M6 in the French- American-British (FAB) classification. The World Health Organization classification recognizes two subclasses, M6a, a leukemia with myeloid blast cells, and M6b, a very rare, purely erythroid AML. It may be difficult to distinguish between a myelodysplastic syndrome and AEL because of the erythroblastic proliferation, which is increased when dysplasia is present. No recurrent cytogenetic abnormality is specific of AEL and the prognosis is poor with a median survival of 17 months. A study of 14 genes in a series of 92 cases has shown that mutations are frequent in AEL and somewhat differ from the other AMLs by the lower and higher proportion of FLT3-ITD and TP53 mutations, respectively. Only three cases of AEL are reported in the TCGA database. To further characterize AEL, determine whether it constitutes a distinct class of AML and document the reasons for its poor prognosis, the investigators will search for molecular alterations in 40 M6a-AMLs using array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) of 106 genes known or suspected to have a role in myeloid malignancies or in erythrocyte differentiation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Institut Paoli-Calmettes at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 2 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 10 Aug 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 France. 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?

Molecular characterization of AML-6 by NGS and CGH array (time frame: 1 year). 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 Aug 2016.
