Tissue Microarray of Hematological Malignancies

Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Hematological Malignancies
Registration Number
NCT04142372
Lead Sponsor
Tampere University Hospital
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to create new tools for improving management of patients with hematological malignancies by combining extensive clinical data from patients newly diagnosed with hematological malignancies and innovative laboratory analyses made on available tissue samples in regional biobanks from these patients.

Detailed Description

Firstly, clinical information is collected on all hematological malignancies diagnosed in our hospital district area retrospectively between the years 2000 and 2019. Clinical outcomes, laboratory results, clinically relevant diagnoses, characteristics defining clinical stage and established prognostic parameters are gathered.

Simultaneously a tissue microarray (TMA) of diagnostic samples is compiled using representative annotated tissue areas. This TMA is used in combination with additional control material to identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers.

A combined microarray dataset of hematological malignancies (Hemap) is utilized to point out genes of possible drug targets, disease specific markers, prognostic markers, or predictive markers.

The clinical datasets and Hemap dataset is ultimately utilized to gain knowledge, new tools for prognostication and diagnostics, and targets for treatment. Artificial intelligence -assisted differential diagnostics will be tested.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Response to treatmentFrom the first line treatment up to the end of the study period (April 2019).

Best response to the first line treatment for the hematological malignancy, according to malignancy in question, e.g. complete response (CR), stringent complete response (sCR), partial response (PR), very good partial response (VGPR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD), treatment failure, clinical response, hematological response etc.

Event-free survival (EFS)From the first line treatment up to the end of the study period (April 2019).

Survival time from the first line treatment for hematological malignancy until any primary event (death, relapse, disease progression/transformation, secondary malignancy, resistant disease etc.), whichever came first, assessed up to the end of the study period (April 2019).

Progression-free survival (PFS)From the first line treatment up to the end of the study period (April 2019).

Time from the first line treatment for hematological malignancy until the date of first documented relapse or transformation or death of any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to the end of the study period (April 2019).

Overall survival (OS)From the diagnosis up to the end of the study period (April 2019).

Survival time from the diagnosis of hematological malignancy until the date of death of any cause, assessed up to the end of the study period (April 2019).
