About this study

Official title: Genetic Changes in Diffuse Aggressive Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

RATIONALE: Determination of genetic markers for aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may help identify patients with this disease and help predict the outcome of treatment.

PURPOSE: Diagnostic study to determine the genetic markers in patients who have aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Estimate the proportions of patients with diffuse aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who have rearrangements affecting the MYC, BCL2, and BCL6 genes (determined by fluorescent in situ hybridization), overtly amplified chromosomal regions, and nonrandom copy number changes of chromosomal regions (determined by comparative genomic hybridization).
  • Investigate the prognostic importance of these genetic markers by studying their relationships with clinical outcomes (e.g., response to therapy, failure-free survival, and overall survival) in these patients.
  • Investigate the interrelationships among these genetic and biological markers and their relationships with clinical features of the disease, such as disease site (nodal vs extranodal) and stage, in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Tissue samples are obtained before treatment and at the time of documentation of refractory disease in patients who do not achieve complete remission after induction therapy or at the time of first relapse in patients who achieve a complete remission.

Samples are examined for rearrangements in the MYC, BCL2, BCL6, and IGH genes using fluorescent in situ hybridization. DNA is examined by comparative genomic hybridization, which allows cytogenetic detection of losses and gains of chromosomal regions in tumor cells.

Patients do not receive the results of the genetic testing and the results do not influence the type or duration of treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 69 sites in United States.

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 6 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 69 sites in United States. 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?

response to therapy (time frame: Up to 5 years). 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 6 Jul 2016.
