Scientists decode cancer genes to personalize treatment
NCT ID NCT00339963
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This completed study analyzed genetic material from 1,340 patients with lymphoma, leukemia, or multiple myeloma. Researchers used DNA microarrays and other tools to find new molecular subtypes that could explain why some patients respond better to treatment than others. The goal is to improve diagnosis and guide future therapies.
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 more precise diagnosis and personalized treatment for lymphoma, leukemia, and multiple myeloma patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly change patient care, and findings need validation in future studies.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA: Diagnosis of lymphoid malignancy at one of the LLMPP participating institutions, including specimens originating at other clinical sites and submitted to LLMPP participating sites or National Cancer Center Singapore. Informed consent for research studies performed on biopsy material or waiver of the requirement for informed consent by the clinical research review boards at the LLMPP institutions or National Cancer Center Singapore. Sufficient frozen biopsy and/or FFPE material from initial biopsy and/or biopsies at relapse of disease to obtain adequate RNA and DNA for gene expression profiling and analysis of genomic alterations in the malignant cells.
