Key Adverse Events After Childhood Cancer


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To identify key adverse events developing in patients (cases) with a primary cancer
diagnosed at age 21 or younger.

II. To characterize the key adverse events with respect to the nature of the primary
malignancy (pathology, stage) and coded details of the therapeutic protocol.

III. To identify treatment-related and demographic risk factors through a direct comparison
of the case-group and controls identified from the remaining patients with the same primary
diagnosis.

IV. To compare the frequency of mutations or polymorphisms in specific candidate genes in
cases and controls, using constitutional DNA and RNA from the cases and controls.

V. To explore the role and nature of gene-environment interaction in the development of key
adverse events.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

DNA from peripheral blood or buccal sample of patients is analyzed for the presence of
polymorphisms in candidate genes associated with an increased risk of late-occurring
complications, such as cardiac dysfunction (closed to accrual as of 4/17/09), myocardial
infarction (closed to accrual as of 6/5/06), ischemic stroke, avascular necrosis (closed to
accrual as of 11/26/08), and subsequent malignant neoplasms.

Patients also complete a questionnaire detailing family history and health history.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Diagnosis of primary cancer at age 21 or younger, irrespective of current age

- No prior history of allogeneic (non-autologous) hematopoietic cell transplant

- Development of one of the following key adverse events at any time following
initiation of cancer therapy:

- Cardiac dysfunction; Please Note: case enrollment has been closed due to
achievement of target accrual

- Ischemic stroke (IS)

- Subsequent malignant neoplasm (SMN)

- Avascular necrosis (AVN); Please Note: case enrollment has been closed due to
achievement of target accrual

- Submission of a blood specimen (or in certain cases a buccal cell specimen) to the
Clinical Pharmacokinetics Laboratory at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as per
the requirements; Please Note: if a patient is currently receiving active cancer
treatment, it is preferable to obtain the blood sample at a time when the patient's
WBC is > 2,000

- Written informed consent from the patient and/or the patient's legally authorized
guardian, obtained in accordance with institutional policies approved by the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services

- In active follow up by a COG institution; active follow up will be defined as date of
last visit or contact by a COG institution within the past 24 months; any type of
contact, including contact specifically for participation in ALTE03N1, qualifies as
active follow-up; Please Note: treatment on a COG (or legacy group) therapeutic
protocol for the primary cancer is NOT required

Type of Study:

Observational

Study Design:

Time Perspective: Prospective

Outcome Measure:

Rate of adverse events (cardiac dysfunction, AVN, ischemic stroke, and SMN using a matched case-control)

Outcome Description:

Epidemiological, clinical and laboratory variables will be tested for their association with key adverse events. McNemar's test for paired data will be used to compare the unmatched general characteristics of cases and controls.

Outcome Time Frame:

1 year

Safety Issue:

Yes
