About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study of Pulmonary Function in Patients With Hodgkin's Disease Receiving Bleomycin-Based Chemotherapy With or Without Mediastinal Irradiation

The purpose of this study is to find out the impact Bleomycin-containing chemotherapy, given with or without chest radiation therapy, on patients' lung function over time.

Read the detailed description
  • The tests and procedures in this study are part of regular cancer care but this study offers more structured timing of these standard tests.
  • Due to the potential lung toxicity associated with bleomycin-based chemotherapy, pulmonary function tests are routinely performed. Pulmonary function tests will be performed by a licensed, registered respiratory therapist and performed prior to the beginning of treatment, between the chemotherapy and radiation therapy (only for patients receiving both chemotherapy and radiation therapy), and at approximately 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after the completion of all treatments.
  • A CAT scan will be performed prior to the beginning of treatment, and approximately 1 month, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after the completion of all treatments.
  • A self-administered questionnaire will be performed on the days the patient is undergoing pulmonary function tests.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pulmonary Function TestsProcedure or surgery

    Tests include; total lung capacity, vital capacity, functional residual capacity, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, carbon monoxide diffusing capacity, pulse oximetry before and after a 6 minute walk and Pulmonary Status and Dyspnea Questionnaire

  • CAT ScanProcedure or surgery

    Obtained at different time points during the study depending upon standard of care chemotherapy treatment

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hodgkin's Disease, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 2 sites 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?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. 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 20 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Pulmonary function (time frame: 2 years). 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 20 Dec 2012.
