What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study collects stored cord blood from 300 children diagnosed with leukemia and checks for the same cancer mutations found in their tumor samples. Researchers want to understand how and when these mutations first appear before birth. The goal is to eventually develop a screening test that could detect pre-leukemia cells in newborns.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple blood test to detect pre-leukemia cells at birth, allowing early monitoring or prevention.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find mutations in all samples, and a screening test is still years away.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * The patient must have a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). * Stored diagnostic pre-treatment samples corresponding to the patient's original diagnosis of leukemia must be available for request from either the COG Biopathology Center or a treating institution * The patient must be enrolled on APEC14B1 with consent to future contact and indicate that cord blood was stored at birth in the APEC14B1 registry intake data. * The patient must also have been registered with COG by a North American (limited to the U.S. and Canada) member institution. * ≤ 25 years old at the time of original diagnosis with ALL or AML * The patient must be able to understand written and spoken English or Spanish * All patients must provide their consent/assent, as appropriate, and for patients under the age of majority at least one parent or legal guardian must provide consent as well * All institutional, FDA, and NCI requirements for human studies must be met Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who responded that cord blood was not stored at birth are excluded. Patients without stored diagnostic, pre-treatment leukemia samples at either the COG Biopathology Center or their treating institution are excluded.
