About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Characterize the Genomic and Epigenomic Signature of NPM Positive Vs. NPM Negative NCL

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how well patients respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at tissue samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine gene expression, genome integrity, cytosine methylation, and chromatin structure in patients with normal cytogenetics leukemia (NCL) acute myeloid leukemia.
  • Determine whether NCL can be deconstructed into specific disease entities by analysis of the integrated genomic and epigenomic datasets using supervised and unsupervised methods in these patients.
  • Identify the gene pathways that define NCL subtypes and molecular targets for validation in preclinical and clinical trials for these patients.
  • Determine whether integrated analysis provides markers of prognostic and therapeutic response that accurately predicts clinical outcome and can be used to select patients for risk-stratified therapeutic trials.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot, multicenter study.

Samples are analyzed to assess array comparative genomic hybridization using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fluorescent in situ hybridization; chromatin immunoprecipitations (chip) using PCR; Hpa II tiny fragment enrichment by ligation-mediated PCR (HELP) using DNA methylation analysis; and gene expression profiling.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 32 patients will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Nucleophosmin exon 12 mutation-related normal cytogenetics leukemia (NCL) has a specific genetic and epigenetic profile

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Relatedness on a per-gene basis of cross-platform data

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Ability of supervised clustering to distinguish subgroups according to clinical prognostic and biomarker indicators

    Measured: 1 day

  4. Ability of unsupervised clustering to identify subgroups of NCL patients

    Measured: 1 day

  5. Relative power of each platform mentioned above vs the integrated platforms

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia, run by ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group.

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 31 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Nucleophosmin exon 12 mutation-related normal cytogenetics leukemia (NCL) has a specific genetic and epigenetic profile (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 31 Jul 2020.
