About this study

Official title: Effects of Cytotoxic Chemotherapy on Ovarian Structure and Function

RATIONALE: Comparing results of diagnostic procedures, such as ultrasound, done before, during, and after chemotherapy may help doctors learn about the side effects of chemotherapy and help plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying ovarian damage in young premenopausal women undergoing chemotherapy for cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the incidence and timing of ovarian dysfunction/damage in younger premenopausal women undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy for cancer.
  • Determine the feasibility of a prospective, randomized study to assess if gonadotropin analogues can protect the ovary from the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapy.
  • Determine the number of patients required for adequate power to test the hypothesis.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot, prospective study.

Patients undergo a transvaginal or transabdominal ultrasound to measure the ovarian volume and count the number of antral follicles at baseline, 3 months after beginning cytotoxic chemotherapy, and at 6 months after completion of treatment. Patients undergo blood collection at the same time points for follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol, and inhibin B levels. Patients are also asked to fill out questionnaires on estrogen-depletion symptoms at those times. Patients also keep a calendar of menstrual bleeding and hormonal medications.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 22 patients will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of ovarian damage after cytotoxic chemotherapy as determined by changes in ovarian volume, antral follicle count, and follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol, and inhibin B levels

    Measured: Ultrasound to measure the ovarian volume and count the number of antral follicles at baseline, 3 months after beginning cytotoxic chemotherapy, and at 6 months after completion of treatment. Patients undergo blood collection at the same time points.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia and Long-term Effects Secondary to Cancer Therapy in Adults, run by Case Comprehensive 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2012. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Incidence of ovarian damage after cytotoxic chemotherapy as determined by changes in ovarian volume, antral follicle count, and follicle-stimulating hormone, estradiol, and inhibin B levels (time frame: Ultrasound to measure the ovarian volume and count the number of antral follicles at baseline, 3 months after beginning cytotoxic chemotherapy, and at 6 months after completion of treatment. Patients undergo blood collection at the same time points.). 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 Mar 2012.
