Pharmacogenomics of Asparaginase Induced Hepatotoxicity

Recruiting
Conditions
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Interventions
Procedure: Biospecimen Collection
Registration Number
NCT03568266
Lead Sponsor
University of Southern California
Brief Summary

This pilot trial studies the impact of genetic information on developing liver damage caused by asparaginase in participants with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Testing saliva samples may help doctors find certain genetic markers that may predict whether participants will tolerate asparaginase, which is given as part of clinical care for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To establish the association between the SOD2 rs4880 genotypes and asparaginase-induced hepatotoxicity in Hispanic patients.

II. To identify novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with asparaginase induced hepatotoxicity.

OUTLINE:

Participants' SOD2 rs4880 SNP genotype (based on saliva from buccal swabs) will be classified. Participants with the CC genotype will be compared to participants with the CT or TT genotype. Buccal swabs of prospective participants' saliva will be collected when participant achieves complete remission (during regular clinical visit). Retrospective participants will be identified through search of pharmacy records for those who received asparaginase within the last 5 years (2012-2017). Recurrent patients will be consented during their regular clinical visits and samples will be collected.
