Trial summary

Although the cause(s) of clinical drug resistance in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) are unknown, in vitro studies suggest that abnormalities of the cell cycle and mechanisms of apoptosis may play an important role. Read more about this study

About this study

Although the cause(s) of clinical drug resistance in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) are unknown, in vitro studies suggest that abnormalities of the cell cycle and mechanisms of apoptosis may play an important role. Clinical studies have now shown that p53, bcl-2 and tumor proliferation all have significant effects on clinical drug resistance. To further investigate the role of genes that control the cell cycle and apoptosis, we wish to correlate the expression of multiple molecular targets [including but not restricted to bcl-2, BAX, bcl-6, MIB-1, p53, p21, p27, p16, cyclin D(1), cyclin A, cyclin E, mdm-2, cpp 32, mcl-1, EBER-1, ALK, and a panel of B, T and other cell lineage markers], involving these pathways, with clinical outcome following treatment with combination chemotherapy. All clinical data and tissue samples for this study will come from patients who have been previously enrolled on two protocols for the initial treatment of aggressive lymphomas. No new patients will be enrolled for this study.

Although the cause(s) of clinical drug resistance in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) are unknown, in vitro studies suggest that abnormalities of the cell cycle and mechanisms of apoptosis may play an important role. Clinical studies have now shown that p53, bcl-2 and tumor proliferation all have significant effects on clinical drug resistance. To further investigate the role of genes that control the cell cycle and apoptosis, we wish to correlate the expression of multiple molecular targets using immunohistochemistry and cDNA microarray expression profiling (including but not restricted to bcl-2, BAX, bcl-6, MIB-1, p53, p21, p27, p16, cyclin D1, cyclin A, cyclin E, mdm-2, cpp 32, mcl-1, EBER-1, ALK, and a panel of B, T and other cell lineage markers), involving these pathways, with clinical outcome following treatment with combination chemotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2008. 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 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00026910, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 4 Mar 2008; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
