Mature B-Cell Lymphoma And Leukemia Study III

This is a phase III clinical trial using risk-adapted therapy. Treatment outcomes for children with B-cell NHL are excellent. Further improvements in outcome will likely be achieved through more focused study of the biology of the tumors and prospective studies of the late effects of treatment. Toward this end, this study features a spectrum of prospective biologic and late effect studies performed in patients treated with a modified regimen derived from the very successful LMB-96 regimen.

Detailed Description

1. This study will perform analysis of newly diagnosed mature B-cell lymphomas (e.g. Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia, DLBCL, and MLBCL) obtained from participants in different parts of the world.
2. This study will describe the types and frequency of mutations in the ARF-HDM2-TP53 pathway, in B-cell lymphomas in the United States and that found in selected geographic regions of the world.
3. This study will describe the expression of ARF-HDM2-TP53 and PUMA-associated pathways in B-cell lymphomas in the United States and that found in B-cell lymphomas of other selected geographic regions of the world.
4. This study will describe the pattern and frequency of XLP gene mutations presenting with B-cell lymphomas in the United States and selected geographic regions.
5. This study will describe the frequency of EBV-positive B-cell lymphomas in the United States and selected geographic regions of the world: and will describe the pattern of EBV protein and gene expression (e.g., EBNA 3) in EBV-positive lymphomas and the study will compare patterns of EBV protein and gene expression with clinical, laboratory and outcome data.

Secondary Objective:

To estimate the complete response rate, event-free survival, and overall survival rates in patients with Burkitt lymphoma (BL), Burkitt leukemia/B-cell acute leukemia (B-ALL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treated with a stage-adapted regimen based on the St. Jude B-cell II protocol.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Gene differential profiling of Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) vs. non-BL	Gene expression levels in BL vs. non-BL will be analyzed through approximately 22,000 probesets on the Affymetrix U133A GeneChip by using two-factor analysis of variance model for each gene.	1 year after the last participant is enrolled
Catalog and estimate frequencies of copy number variations in childhood lymphomas	The prevalence of CNVs between different subtypes of childhood lymphomas and geographic regions will be reported and compared with exact chi-square or Fisher's test.	1 year after the last participant is enrolled
Integrated analysis of CNVs and gene expressions	The association between the identified CNVs and gene expressions in the study cohort will be examined by using general linear models, and multiple tests will be considered.	1 year after the last participant is enrolled
Pattern and frequency of XLP gene mutations presenting with B-cell lymphomas in the United States and selected geographic regions	Frequency of XLP mutation among boys will be calculated in each geographical region as well as in all regions pooled. The frequency is reported here as the number of boys with XLP gene mutations found in B-cell lymphomas boys.	1 year after the last participant enrollment
Pattern of EBV protein expression (e.g., EBNA 3) in EBV-positive lymphomas and to compare patterns of EBV protein expression with clinical, laboratory and outcome data	Point estimates and 95% CIs of the frequency of EBV-positive BL will be calculated for each geographical region. EBV protein expression will be described by summary statistics. Relationship of EBV protein expression with clinical, laboratory, and outcome features will be explored using appropriate statistical methods such as general linear models.	1 year after the last participant is enrolled

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Complete response rate	Complete response rate will be estimated with exact 95% CI based on the binomial distribution, and it will be reported as the percentage of patients who reached complete remission among eligible patients treated at SJCRH	5 years after completion of therapy
Event-free survival	Event-free survival (EFS) will be estimated among eligible patients treated at SJCRH by the Kaplan-Meier estimator. The events will include: (1) death while in continuous CR, (2) relapse, (3) secondary malignancy, and (4) failure to achieve complete response (CR).	5 years after completion of therapy
Overall Survival	Overall survival (OS) will be estimated among eligible patients treated at SJCRH by the Kaplan-Meier estimator.	5 years after completion of therapy
