Study of Tissue and Blood Samples From Patients With High-Grade Glioma

January 16, 2019 updated by: Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology

Diagnostic And Prognostic Markers In High-Grade Glioma

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue and blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at tissue and blood samples from patients with high-grade glioma.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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 evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic relevance of various molecular, cytogenetic, and other tumor markers in high-grade glioma in paraffin-embedded tissue collected from patients enrolled in the Mayo Clinic or North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG) high-grade glioma trials conducted since 1979.
  • To evaluate alterations of specific chromosomes and chromosomal regions including 7, 9p, 10p, 10q, 13q, 17p, 17q, 19q, 22q, X, and Y using PCR analysis of microsatellite repeats and FISH.
  • To determine DNA ploidy by flow cytometric analysis.
  • To examine various markers of cellular proliferation and cellular function including flow cytometric determination of %S-phase, %G2M, and immunohistochemical evaluation of PCNA, Ki-67, and p53.
  • To evaluate additional markers identified by the Glioma Markers Network.
  • To compare the incidence of markers in the major histologic subtypes (anaplastic astrocytoma [AA], anaplastic oligoastrocytoma [AOA], glioblastoma multiforme [GBM]) and to assess their correlation in the total group, as well as within each of these subtypes.
  • To compare the ploidy determinations by FISH and flow cytometry.

OUTLINE: Paraffin-embedded tissue and peripheral blood samples, previously or currently collected from clinical trials participants at the time she/he enrolled in the trial, are evaluated for as many markers as possible, changes in cytogenic and molecular genetic tumor markers, frequency distributions of all tumor markers and histological and clinical variables by polymerase chain reaction, IHC, flow cytometry, and FISH analysis.

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.

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 (Actual)

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.

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.
