Trial summary

The incidence of secondary cancer (SC) in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) is high and comparable to that of thrombosis. However, the identification of patient subgroups that might be at increased susceptibility of developing SC has not been systematically addressed. Read more about this study

About this study

The incidence of secondary cancer (SC) in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) is high and comparable to that of thrombosis. However, the identification of patient subgroups that might be at increased susceptibility of developing SC has not been systematically addressed. This international case-control study (MPN-K) is aimed to elucidate the prognostic role of JAK2V617F mutation in predicting the occurrence of SC in patients with classical MPN, polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and myelofibrosis (MF)

Read the detailed description

For each recruited case with concomitant diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and secondary cancer each participating center will provide up 3 control patients (1 control for each case could be accepted but the optimal number is 3). Controls are patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms and no history of cancer. Each control will be matched to the paired case for sex, age (+/- 3 years), date of MPN diagnosis (+/- 5 years), and MPN disease duration (+/- 3 years).

Each control is censored at the date of the secondary cancer occurrence in his matched case (index date).

Data will be collected retrospectively from pre-existing medical records and reported by each center on a web-based and validated eCRF developed to record y all study data. In order to maintain patient privacy, all data records will be treated anonymously and no personal data to identify patient will be recorded: patients will be identified in the study by an alphanumeric code.

What participants receive

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

  • JAK2V617F mutationOther

    JAK2 V617F is attached to the cytosolic juxtamembrane region of dimeric cytokine receptors, such as EpoR or MPL (TpoR); The JAK2V617F mutation results from a guanine to thymine change at nucleotide 1849 of the cDNA, in exon 14 of the gene. This valine is located at one of the predicted interfaces between JH1 and JH2 domains,

Study groups in NCT03745378
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CasesPatients with diagnosis of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) including Polycythemia Vera, Essential thrombocytopenia or Myelofibrosis, exposed or not exposed to JAK2V617F mutation, who experienced secondary cancer(s) diagnosed at presentation of MPN or during the course of the myeloproliferative disease.
Receives: Other: JAK2V617F mutation
ControlsPatients with diagnosis of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) including Polycythemia Vera, Essential thrombocytopenia or Myelofibrosis, exposed or not exposed to JAK2V617F mutation, without history of secondary cancer.
Receives: Other: JAK2V617F mutation

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with secondary cancers after diagnosis of Polycythemia Vera (PV), Essential Trombocythemia (ET) and Myelofibrosis (MF)

    The ratio of number of patients showing JAK2V617F mutation on the number of patients not exposed to this mutation will be calculated in the group of subjects experiencing second cancer after diagnosis of PV, ET and MF (defined as 'cases') and related (odds ratio) with the ratio of patients exposed on those not exposed to JAK2V617F mutation in the group of subjects with no experience of secondary cancers after diagnosis of PV, ET and MF (this group is defined as 'Control' group)

    Measured: 10 year from diagnosis of PV, ET or MF

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of patients with secondary cancers after diagnosis of Polycythemia Vera (PV), Essential Trombocythemia (ET) and Myelofibrosis (MF) in subgroups of subjects exposed to potential risk factors at diagnosis

    Characteristics at diagnosis of patients with PV, ET and MF (including other mutations) with occurrence of second cancers (SC) are decribed and compared with those not experiencing SC after diagnosis of myloproliferative neoplasm; the ratio of number of patients exposed to potential risk factors on the number of subjects not exposed will be calculated in the group cases (as defined for primary outcome measure) and related (odds ratio) with the ratio of patient exposed versus not exposed calculated in the subgroup of control.

    Measured: 10 year from diagnosis of PV, ET or MF

  2. Number of patients with secondary cancers after diagnosis of Polycythemia Vera (PV), Essential Trombocythemia (ET) and Myelofibrosis (MF) in the subgroups exposed to treatment

    Group of patients exposed and not exposed to different class of treatments for PV, ET and MF are compared and related in the group of cases and control

    Measured: 10 year from diagnosis of PV, ET or MF

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polycythemia Vera and Essential Thrombocythemia, run by FROM- Fondazione per la Ricerca Ospedale di Bergamo- ETS at 30 sites in 6 countries.

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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 30 sites in Italy, Spain, Germany, United Kingdom, Czechia and 1 more country. 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?

Number of patients with secondary cancers after diagnosis of Polycythemia Vera (PV), Essential Trombocythemia (ET) and Myelofibrosis (MF) (time frame: 10 year from diagnosis of PV, ET or MF). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03745378, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Dec 2019.
