About this study

This clinical trial tests next generation sequencing (NGS) for the detection of precursor features of pre-myeloid cancers and bone marrow failure syndromes. NGS is a procedure that looks at relevant cancer associated genes and what they do. Finding genetic markers for pre-malignant conditions may help identify patients who are at risk of pre-myeloid cancers and bone marrow failure syndromes and lead to earlier intervention.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To use genomics and functional translational studies to diagnose, prognosticate and potentially offer therapeutic directives for patients with precursor features of myeloid neoplasms (myelodysplastic syndrome [MDS], myeloproliferative neoplasms [MPN], MDS/MPN overlap syndrome) and germline predisposition/bone marrow failure states, who do not meet the criteria for the diagnosis of these cancers as of yet.

II. To identify patients with precursor myeloid malignancies and bone marrow failure syndromes.

III. To examine the utility of NGS methods for discovery of targets or pathways involved in precursor features of myeloid cancer and bone marrow failure.

IV. To use clinomics/genomics to better understand pathobiology and risk of disease progression.

  1. To help better understand the implications of variants of unknown significance using computational biology and functional studies.

VI. To utilize normal, age and sex matched controls to validate genetic and epigenetic testing carried out under this protocol (essential for accurate data analysis).

VII. To assess frailty in patients with clonal hematopoiesis in order to validate genetic and epigenetic testing completed under this protocol as objective assessments of frailty and aging in comparison to standard of care frailty and geriatric assessments.

OUTLINE:

Participants may undergo blood sample collection, a bone marrow biopsy, a skin punch biopsy, hair follicle collection, a buccal swab, and/or saliva collection for NGS analysis on study. Patients may additionally undergo clinical assessment and may receive genetic counseling on study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of cytopenias

    Assessed by the number of subjects whose cytopenias are persistent or progressive over the course of the study

    Measured: Up tof 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Occurrence of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)

    Assessed by the number of subjects who have evolved to MDS over the course of the study

    Measured: Up to 5 years

  2. Occurrence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

    Assessed by the number of subjects who have evolved to AML over the course of the study

    Measured: Up to 5 years
