About this study

Official title: Targeted Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) to Classify Subtypes of Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease (cGVHD) After Allogeneic Transplant.

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 chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine and define the biological basis of different subtypes of chronic graft-vs-host disease using a targeted single nucleotide polymorphisms approach in patients who have undergone allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

OUTLINE: Two important aspects of the methodologies that will be employed for the analysis of SNPs associated with GVHD are throughput efficiency to be able to perform the assays on a reasonable number of samples as well as having the ability to add or remove SNPs to the assay panel. While a genome-wide association study to identify variants associated with GVHD would offer an unbiased approach, our patient cohort size would not allow significant statistical power in the study. Therefore, a more targeted approach using two established technologies is proposed.

The Sequenome assay uses the unique combination of a single-base primer extension assay incorporating one of four modified nucleotides. The four modified nucleotides each have a unique mass that allows them to be distinguished from one another using mass spectrometry. Each SNP is determined analyzing the primer extension product from a PCR amplicon that surrounds the SNP of interest. The development of each assay involves designing flanking PCR primers and an internal extension assay using web-based software provided by Sequenome. The assays can be designed to analyze up to 30 SNPs in a single reaction, providing a customizable, efficient and high-throughput assay for SNPs of interest.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • polymorphism analysisGenetic

    Will assess the SNPs present in both the donor and to host and correlate the SNPs with outcome based in the NIH consensus criteria for cGVHD. Candidate SNPs will include but are not limited to TGF-β18, mannose binding lectin19, myeloperoxidase, HSP 70, minor histocompatability antigens, KIR, CCL513, NOD2/CARD1512, TNFα11, TNF R II, IL-1010, 11, IL-1317, IL-620, IFN-γ20, IL-1 RA21, IL-2315, and IL-1516. Other candidate genes will be assessed on current review of the literature and candidate SNPs will be added based on their relationship to aGVHD, cGVHD, autoimmune disease, pharmacogenetics, and other immunologic processes. The genes will be assessed for gene frequency using the HapMap and SNP databases prior to statistical analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. To study the SNP profiles of a select group of candidate non-HLA genes among various cGVHD subtypes. Patients will be stratified as having classic cGVHD vs. non-classic GVHD for initial analyses.

    Measured: Upon data collection of final patient

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation of SNP profiles with predominant organ involvement and responsiveness of cGVHD to therapy

    Measured: Upon collection of data on final patient

  2. Correlation of SNP profiles with survival endpoints

    Measured: Upon collection of data on final patient

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at 3 sites 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 was stopped early (reason given: study closed prematurely upon PI's departure from VICC). 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?

To study the SNP profiles of a select group of candidate non-HLA genes among various cGVHD subtypes. Patients will be stratified as having classic cGVHD vs. non-classic GVHD for initial analyses. (time frame: Upon data collection of final patient). 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 14 May 2013.
