Access to the ALFA group's databases and sample collections for clinical-biological studies of cohorts of adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at all stages of the disease, at diagnosis and under treatment (response to treatment, relapse, follow-up).

Comprehensive clinico-biological data from patients included in clinical trials, combined with qualified blood and bone marrow samples. Benefit from homogeneously treated patient data/samples. Access to individual longitudinal follow-up (diagnosis/remission/relapse).


Description

Scope 

Samples and sets of clinico-biological data monitored as part of therapeutic protocols, enabling projects to be carried out in the field of AML:

  • Clinico-biological control cohorts (external control arms)
  • Highly qualified and annotated biological samples
  • Translational studies in collaboration with the network's translational platforms

Provision of anonymized data sets and/or samples

  • Submission of application to ALFA
  • Review by ALFA's Scientific Council
  • Approval by ALFA Board of Directors
  • Contractualization with OPALE's legal and partnerships manager

Organization

  • Dr. Renaud Buffet, Medical Coordinator
  • Prof. Raphaêl Itzykson, President of the Scientific Council 

Infrastructure

  • Database hosting on secure servers 
  • Project managers and clinical research assistants

Quality assurance 

The quality assurance procedures used to build up collections and gather data around them comply with current legislation. In particular, they ensure:

  • Patient information and consent to the use of biological samples for research purposes
  • Compliance with data retention periods
  • Data security and confidentiality throughout the chain, from consent to storage of the material and all associated data

 


Specifications

Collections

Annotated collections of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA, samples from several thousand patients), cells (leukemic blasts, non-leukemic mononuclear cells), serum or plasma.

Samples collected at initial diagnosis, in remission phase and at diagnosis of refractory state or relapse.

Data sets:

  • Relevant patient medical history
  • Biological characteristics of the disease, including its somatic mutational landscape described according to the current best standards (ELN 2022)
  • Documentation of first-line treatment (including, when performed, information on allogeneic transplantation). Documentation of refractory status and possible relapses, monitoring of residual disease by molecular biology, and, less systematically, residual disease by flow cytometry.
  • Documentation of disease response, or refractory state, residual disease (MRD), remission, possible relapses (dates, lines of treatment), date and cause of possible death 

Type of study: interventional and non-interventional clinical studies

Phases: I-IV
