Overview

This research trial studies characterization of T-cell repertoire through next-generation sequencing in patients with acute myeloid leukemia undergoing stem cell transplant. Characterizing T-cell repertoire may help to understand if immune system plays a significant role in high risk patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Characterize the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients before and after receiving hematologic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

II. Identify molecular changes (germline variants and somatic mutations) that contribute to shaping the TCR repertoire.

OUTLINE

Patents undergo collection of blood samples before, on day 100, and 1 year after HSCT. Donors undergo collection of blood at the time of HSCT for ribonucleic acid (RNA)-based next generation sequencing of TCRA and TCRB genes.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis of AML scheduled to undergo HSCT at University of Southern California (USC)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Inability to provide consent because of severe mental disorders
  • Donor unwilling to provide consent

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
