Trial Description

Summary

RATIONALE: Cytogenetic tests may help predict how cancer will respond to treatment and allow doctors to plan more effective therapy.

PURPOSE: This diagnostic trial is studying genetic differences in patients with treated and untreated acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, or multiple myeloma.

Further Study Information

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, or multiple myeloma.
  • Correlate specific chromosomal abnormalities with clinical and laboratory parameters in these patients.
  • Correlate specific karyotype groups with treatment response rates, response duration, survival, and cure in patients treated with various induction and post-induction regimens.
  • Correlate specific karyotype groups with multidrug resistance data in these patients.
  • Identify new chromosome abnormalities important in leukemogenesis.
  • Correlate specific karyotype groups with epidemiological data (toxic exposure and family history) in these patients.
  • Determine karyotype changes at relapse and the influence of the type of change (or no change) in karyotype at relapse in subsequent clinical courses in these patients.
  • Correlate specific karyotype groups with selected molecular abnormalities as studied in CALGB leukemia protocols.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo collection of bone marrow and blood specimens for cytogenetic analysis at diagnosis, complete remission, and relapse. Specimens are karyotyped and examined for chromosomal abnormalities.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 6,400 patients will be accrued for this study.
