About this study

Official title: The Quality of Life of Adult Survivors Who Received a Marrow Transplant as a Child

RATIONALE: Studying quality of life in cancer survivors may help determine the long-term effects of hematologic cancer and may help improve the quality of life for future cancer survivors.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the quality of life of adult cancer survivors who have undergone a previous bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplant for a childhood hematologic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the extent to which adult cancer survivors who have undergone prior bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for a pediatric hematologic malignancy require ongoing health care and whether these needs change with increasing time after transplantation.
  • Correlate physical capabilities, body image, physical limitations, including sexuality issues which alter or influence lifestyle, with time after transplantation in these patients.
  • Determine whether cognitive abilities relative to memory and neurobehavioral ratings change with increasing time after transplantation in these patients.
  • Correlate social and relationship abilities with length of time after transplantation in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients and siblings complete a self-report quality of life questionnaire, including outcome assessments of neuroendocrine function, cognitive abilities, physical capability, and psychosocial behavior.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 750 patients (375 adult cancer survivors [case group] and 375 siblings [control group]) will be accrued for this study within 7 years.

Being tested
cognitive assessment, management of therapy complications, psychosocial assessment and care, quality-of-life assessment

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Neuroendocrine status of disease-free childhood transplant patients at 5 years after transplant and ≥ age 18

  2. Cognitive capability of disease-free childhood transplant patients at 5 years after transplant and ≥ age 18

  3. Physical capability of disease-free childhood transplant patients at 5 years after transplant and ≥ age 18

  4. Psychosocial status of disease-free childhood transplant patients at 5 years after transplant and ≥ age 18

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Neuroendocrine status of disease-free childhood transplant patients at 5 years after transplant and ≥ age 18. The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 May 2013.
