Brief 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.

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Differences in overall survivalUp to 8 years

Evaluated using the log rank statistic.

Relapse-free survivalTime from the end of induction to marrow relapse or death from progressive disease, censoring on deaths from other causes, assessed up to 8 years

Evaluated using the logrank statistic.

Differences in induction outcome, dichotomized into complete remission or no remissionUp to 8 years

Assessed with Pearson's chi square statistic test

Etiology of leukemia: Fisher's exact testUp to 8 years

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

Disease-free survival (DFS)Time from the end of induction to relapse or death, assessed up to 8 years

Evaluated using the log rank statistic.

Etiology of leukemia: Chi square testUp to 8 years

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