Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 21 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Academic medical center(s)

Who may be able to join

  • The study candidate must have sufficient Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE)Specimens (lymph node or tumor) for DNA extraction available for study SNP assessment
  • Patients over the age of 21 with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of cancer who have received nitrogen containing bisphosphonate therapy for metastatic bone disease.
  • FFPE tissues are to have been removed for clinical indication and sufficience study volume of specimen must be available in an established tissue repository.
  • - Study FFPE tissues include:
  • formalin fixed paraffin embedded leukocytes from lymph nodes with or without involvement by tumor AND/OR
  • formalin fixed paraffin embedded tumor tissue (tumor block without invasive cancer is acceptable if the specimen is believed to be sufficiently cellular (breast tissue or noninvasive cancer) to yield adequate DNA)
  • Medical records available for data abstraction

Who cannot join

  • Insufficient specimen available to perform the assays proposed for specimen DNA analysis
  • No accessable medical records

About this study

This study seeks to identify risk factors associated with the development of a jaw condition seen in patients with cancer treated with certain medications.

Read the detailed description

The goal of this research is to build an index of risk for estimating an individual's risk of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). The bisphosphonates are an important supportive therapy in the care of patients with metastatic bone disease; they are able to prevent catastrophic events such as fracture and spinal cord compression. However, ONJ has been associated with the use of the bisphosphonates and ONJ carries significant morbidity. Presently, there are insufficient data to calculate the ONJ risk benefit ratio of bisphosphonate use. An ONJ risk assessment tool would improve both the oncologist's and the dental health professional the ability to anticipate and potentially mitigate oral toxicities from bisphosphonate therapy.

This protocol consists of a case (ONJ) control (no ONJ) study to identify factors associated with the risk of ONJ and to build an index predictive of an individual's risk of developing ONJ. The index of ONJ risk will be comprised of clinical, epidemiologic and genetic factors

No ONJPatient with cancer involving the bone treated with osteoclast inhibitor (bisphosphonate) and has NOT developed ONJ

What is being measured

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

  1. To identify clinical and epidemiologic characteristics associated with ONJ in patients with metastatic bone disease treated with a nitrogen containing bisphosphonate.

    analysis is ongoing

    Measured: 2009-2014

  2. To identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes affected by osteoclast inhibiting therapy that are associated with an increased risk of developing ONJ in patients with metastatic bone disease treated with nitrogen containing bisphosphonates.

    analysis is ongoing

    Measured: 2009-2014

  3. To generate a multifactorial index of ONJ risk by multivariate analysis of the clinical, epidemiologic and genetic factors

    analysis is ongoing

    Measured: 2009-2014

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bone Diseases and Metastases, run by University of Michigan 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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2014. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To identify clinical and epidemiologic characteristics associated with ONJ in patients with metastatic bone disease treated with a nitrogen containing bisphosphonate. (time frame: 2009-2014). The study lists 3 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 2 Dec 2014.
