About this study

This research trial studies clinical factors and gene expression analysis for prognosis in tissue samples from patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related primary effusion lymphoma. Gathering health information over time and studying samples of tissue from patients in the laboratory may help doctors learn about the prognosis of patients with AIDS-related primary effusion lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Identify baseline clinical characteristics and treatment strategies in patients with AIDS-associated primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) that correlate with long-term survival (>= 2 years). (Primary clinical objective) II. Identify differentially expressed genes in PEL that are associated with long-term survival (>= 2 years). (Primary genomic objective)

OUTLINE:

Medical chart review is performed and patient information is collected regarding human immunodeficiency virus human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS medical history, staging of AIDS related malignancy, and type of treatment. Previously collected tissue samples are analyzed via ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing and microarray.

Being tested
Laboratory Biomarker Analysis, Medical Chart Review

What is being measured

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

  1. Differential Gene Expression Profile by RNA-Seq or GeneChip Assays

    The resultant data will be a subset of the whole analysis population due to RNAseq data availability. It will be assessed for quality, normalized, and then analyzed for differential gene expression. The Nanostring software nSolver will be used to do quality control, background subtraction, normalization, and analysis of the differential expression for RNA-sequencing data. Lastly, bioinformatic analysis approaches will be used to help make sense of possible biological links between the genes found to be differentially expressed between the sample groups that may be of prognostic significance. 19 Genes with p-value less than 0.05 were reported by the level of gene expression.

    Measured: baseline

  2. Response Rates

    The number of participants for this outcome measure is 25 participants with baseline characteristics and response evaluation. Since this was a retrospective study, response criteria were not defined. Response determinations as recorded in the medical record by the treating physician were abstracted on each participant for data analysis. Response rates will be reported with 95% confidence intervals (binomial distribution). Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize baseline clinical, histological, and viral characteristics.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  3. Survival Status at 2 Years

    Survival duration will be determined using the elapsed time between the date of PEL diagnosis and the last follow-up date or the date of death.

    Measured: At 2 years post diagnosis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of AIDS-Related Primary Effusion Lymphoma, run by AIDS Malignancy Consortium at 6 sites 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 14 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 11 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 May 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Differential Gene Expression Profile by RNA-Seq or GeneChip Assays (time frame: baseline). 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 11 May 2025.
