Biomarkers in Tumor Tissue Samples From Young Patients With Very Low Risk Wilms Tumors

May 6, 2015 updated by: Children's Oncology Group

Validation of Prognostic Markers for Very Low Risk Wilms Tumors

RATIONALE: Studying samples of 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.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies biomarkers in tumor tissue samples from young patients with very low risk Wilms tumors.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To validate the utility of CUGBP2, HMGA2, and MEIS2 mRNA expression and 11p15 methylation to define a population of pediatric patients with very low risk Wilms tumor (VLRWT) that have virtually no risk of relapse.
  • To validate the utility of WT-1 mutation and 11p15 loss of heterozygosity analysis to determine a population of VLRWT that have a higher risk of relapse when not treated with chemotherapy.
  • To validate the utility of NFYA, STRA6, TOB2, PDCD4, and SP3 mRNA expression to predict relapse in VLRWT.
  • To investigate the feasibility of broadening the definition of VLRWT through analysis of stage I and II epithelial differentiated tumors registered on clinical trial COG-Q9401 (NWTS-5) for CUGBP2, HMGA2, MEIS2, and 11p15 methylation.

OUTLINE: Previously banked tumor tissue samples are analyzed for mRNA expression of CUGBP2, HMGA2, and MEIS2 via reverse-transcriptase (RT)-PCR and are classified as loss of heterozygosity (LOH), loss of imprinting, or neither via 11p15 analysis. Samples are also analyzed for WT-1 mutation via quantitative PCR and 11p LOH using 11p15 methylation analysis and expression of NFYA, STRA6, TOB2, PDCD4, and SP3 via quantitative RT-PCR

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

No older than 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Utility of CUGBP2, HMGA2, and MEIS2 mRNA expression and 11p15 methylation to define a population of pediatric patients with very low risk Wilms tumor (VLRWT) that have virtually no risk of relapse
Utility of WT-1 mutation and 11p15 loss of heterozygosity analysis to determine a population of VLRWT that have a higher risk of relapse when not treated with chemotherapy
Utility of NFYA, STRA6, TOB2, PDCD4, and SP3 mRNA expression to predict relapse in VLRWT
Feasibility of broadening the definition of VLRWT through analysis of stage I and II epithelial differentiated tumors registered on clinical trial COG-Q9401 (NWTS-5) for CUGBP2, HMGA2, MEIS2, and 11p15 methylation

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
October 1, 2009

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
November 1, 2010

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
