About this study

Official title: Observational - Candidate Gene Variants and Childhood/Adolescent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Preliminary Investigation

This research studies genes associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in young patients. Studying samples of blood and 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

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. To conduct a preliminary investigation of the effects of loci strongly and consistently associated in prior genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and validation studies of childhood/adolescent acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), autoimmune diseases, and atopic diseases on the risk of NHL (lymphoblastic and Burkitt lymphomas) in children and adolescents.

OUTLINE:

DNA samples are analyzed by single nucleotide polymorphism and genotyped by fluorogenic polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based allelic discrimination (Taqman) assays using the ABI Prism 7900HT reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR system.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Childhood Burkitt Lymphoma and Childhood Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, run by Children's Oncology Group 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 0 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 7 May 2015. 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?

Potential deviations from Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) (time frame: Baseline). 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 7 May 2015.
