About this study

Little is known about the epidemiologic risk factors associated with the development of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), and less is known about the role that genetic susceptibility plays in the development of AML. We propose to conduct a population-based study to investigate genetic susceptibility in adult AML patients, both de novo and treatment-related in a well-defined geographical area. Using a case-control design, we will prospectively enroll 400 patients from Texas and 800 healthy controls. Controls will be recruited using random digit dialing, and will be matched to the cases by age, gender, and ethnicity. Epidemiological and demographic information will be obtained through personal interviews, and will be integrated with clinical information, cytogenetic data, and genotypic markers. Blood specimens will be collected on all participants, who will be genotyped for markers associated with activation and detoxification of chemical carcinogens, including chemotherapy drugs. Polymorphisms in genes such as cytochrome p450 (CYP2E1), glutathione S-transferases (GSTT1, GSTM1, GSTP1), epoxide hydrolase (HYL1), NADPH-quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) will be analyzed.

This study will provide insight into the role that these susceptibility markers, along with clinical epidemiological, and cytogenetic factors, play in the identification of people at risk of developing AML. Understanding how genetic predisposition and exogenous exposures interact to determine AML susceptibility will allow the development of prevention strategies in the future.

INFORMED CONSENTS FOR AML PATIENTS:

For this study, participant will be asked to complete a personal interview. During the interview, participant will be asked questions about participant's demographics (age, sex, etc.), any chemicals participant may have been exposed to, participant's medical history, family history of cancer, participant's diet, and participant's smoking and alcohol use histories. It should take around 50 minutes to complete the interview.

Participant will also have around 1 tablespoon of blood drawn for special tests. These tests will look for any biologic factors associated with AML.

The interview and the blood draw may be done during a regularly scheduled visit to M. D. Anderson, or may be scheduled at the time and place of participant's convenience.

Participant may be contacted at home by phone so that researchers can collect information about any changes in participant's health status.

This is an investigational study. Up to 1,200 participants will take part in this study.

INFORMED CONSENT FOR CONTROL SUBJECTS:

For this study, participant will be asked to complete a personal interview. During the interview, participant will be asked questions about participant's demographics (age, sex, etc.), any chemicals participant may have been exposed to, participant's medical history, family history of cancer, participant's diet, and participant's smoking and alcohol use histories. It should take around 50 minutes to complete the interview.

Participant will also have around 1 tablespoon of blood drawn for special tests. These tests will look for any biologic factors associated with AML. The interview and blood draw will be scheduled at the time and place of participant's convenience.

This is an investigational study. Up to 1,200 participants will take part in this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2020. 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?

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?

Identify biologic and lifestyle factors that may increase a person's risk of developing acute myelogenous leukemia. (time frame: 8 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 13 Jan 2020.
