NCT ID NCT00339963

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looked at the genes of over 1,300 people with blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. The goal was to find new genetic subtypes that could explain why some patients respond well to treatment while others do not. Researchers used stored tissue samples and medical records, not new patients, to link gene patterns with survival and remission.
