Study summary

This research study is looking at biomarkers in DNA samples from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myeloid leukemia. Studying samples of DNA from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Collect DNA samples from patients with cytogenetically, well characterized, and uniformly treated acute lymphoblastic leukemia or acute myeloid leukemia for use in analysis of a wide range of host factors influencing etiology and outcome of the disease.

II. Identify host factors that can be determined at onset of treatment to predict outcome of chemotherapy, and thus modify the therapy administered.

OUTLINE:

Previously collected DNA samples are analyzed for polymorphisms at a variety of loci. Gene expression and expression profiles are correlated with genotype and therapy outcomes.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • DNA samples available from patients meeting the following criteria:

    • Infants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML)
    • Patients with pre-B ALL, including responders vs non-responders in selected genotypes [hyperdiploid, hypodiploid, t(12;21), t(9;22), t(1;19), and t(4;11)] and responders and non-responders regardless of genotype
    • Pediatric patients with AML registered on POG-9421
    • Adult patients with ALL, including t(8.21), inv(16), t(15;17), complex cytogenetics, and secondary AML
    • Pediatric patients with relapsed ALL enrolled on COG-AALL01P2
    • Pediatric patients enrolled on COG-9900 and other CCG or POG trials

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Differences in induction outcome, dichotomized into complete remission or no remission

    Assessed with Fisher's exact test.

    Time frame: Up to 8 years

  2. Differences in induction outcome, dichotomized into complete remission or no remission

    Assessed with Pearson's chi square statistic test

    Time frame: Up to 8 years

  3. Differences in overall survival

    Evaluated using the log rank statistic.

    Time frame: Up to 8 years

  4. Disease-free survival (DFS)

    Evaluated using the log rank statistic.

    Time frame: Time from the end of induction to relapse or death, assessed up to 8 years

  5. Relapse-free survival

    Evaluated using the logrank statistic.

    Time frame: Time from the end of induction to marrow relapse or death from progressive disease, censoring on deaths from other causes, assessed up to 8 years

  6. Etiology of leukemia: Chi square test

    Chi square test will be used to determine the differences in distribution of genotypes between cases and controls.

    Time frame: Up to 8 years

  7. Etiology of leukemia: Fisher's exact test

    Fisher's exact test will be used to determine the differences in distribution of genotypes between cases and controls.

    Time frame: Up to 8 years
