About this study

This study will compare genomic alterations between the parents and the patients with high-grade glioma.

Read the detailed description

Genomic changes leading to the formation of brain tumors are slowly being discovered. Despite advances in genomic technology, much analysis is hindered by the lack of control samples that could better delineate genomic alterations leading to disease. The ideal genomic control would be the genetic material of the parents of afflicted individuals. The researchers propose to then compare the genomic material from parents of siblings, both of whom have a diagnosis of a high-grade glioma. Additionally, the researchers will then compare the genomic alterations between the parents and the patients. This analysis will provide an unprecedented insight into genomic level changes that take place between parents and patients that resulted in the formation of a high-grade glioma.

What participants receive

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

  • saliva or blood sample collectionOther

    Single saliva or blood sample measuring 10mL for genomic analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total genomic sequencing

    Researchers will perform total genomic sequencing using next generation sequencing technology to identify common variants associated with familial brain tumors. Upon sequencing of the genomic material, the data analysis will be done using standard statistical methods. We will use bioinformatics tools (high throughput sequencing of genome) to identify genomic changes between parents and patients.

    Measured: within 30 days of blood or saliva collection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glioma, run by St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix 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 2 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2024. 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 was stopped early (reason given: PI departure without replacement). 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?

Total genomic sequencing (time frame: within 30 days of blood or saliva collection). 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 19 Apr 2024.
