Clinical and Genomic Factors for Prognosis of AIDS Primary Effusion Lymphoma

This research trial studies clinical factors and gene expression analysis for prognosis in
tissue samples from patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related primary
effusion lymphoma. Gathering health information over time and studying samples of tissue from
patients in the laboratory may help doctors learn about the prognosis of patients with
AIDS-related primary effusion lymphoma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Identify baseline clinical characteristics and treatment strategies in patients with
AIDS-associated primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) that correlate with long-term survival (>= 2
years). (Primary clinical objective) II. Identify differentially expressed genes in PEL that
are associated with long-term survival (>= 2 years). (Primary genomic objective)

OUTLINE:

Medical chart review is performed and patient information is collected regarding human
immunodeficiency virus human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS medical history, staging of
AIDS related malignancy, and type of treatment. Previously collected tissue samples are
analyzed via ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing and microarray.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients diagnosed with primary effusion lymphoma (HIV seropositive or negative) on or
after January 1, 1998 on whom survival status at 2 years post PEL diagnosis is
available

- Participants may be enrolled to either or both the clinical or genomic portions of the
study

- The minimum data required to be able to include a subject for analysis of clinical
prognostic factors are:

- HIV status, and for HIV subjects include cluster of differentiation (CD)4 count,
HIV viral load closest to time of diagnosis

- Age at PEL diagnosis

- Gender

- Stage at diagnosis

- Treatment of PEL

- Response to treatment

- Survival status at 2 years

- Pathology slides (or paraffin block) for central review

- The minimum data required to be able to include a subject for analysis of genomic
prognostic factors are:

- Availability of a pathologic specimen of PEL that will be submitted for genomic
analysis

- Survival status at 2 years

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who do not fulfill the criteria as listed above are ineligible
