Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to develop blood tests and urine tests that can tell doctors how much radiation a person has been exposed to. Doctors know how much radiation patients are exposed to in certain medical situations. An example of this would be radiation treatment for cancer. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 4 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Potential research subjects will be identified by the primary Radiation Oncologist whom the patient is referred to by the Adult or Pediatric Bone Marrow Transplant Service.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients greater than 4 years of age at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
  • Must be undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (either autologous or allogenic) in conjunction with a conditioning regimen that includes TBI (single or multiple fraction)
  • Functional central venous catheter

Who cannot join

  • No subjects will be excluded from the proposed research study for demographic reasons. Treatment with growth factors, such as keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), will not be grounds for exclusion.
  • Subjects who will receive radiation therapy within 5 days prior to TBI will be excluded.
  • Subjects who will receive systemic antineoplastic chemotherapy within 7 days prior to TBI not have research bloods collected. Only urine will be collected from these patients.
  • Based on current knowledge, we will not a priori exclude patients based on disease status (ie, patients in or out of remission will be included in this study), type of disease(ie, chromosomal breakage syndromes), or previous therapies (unless exclusion criteria is met).

About this study

The purpose of this study is to develop blood tests and urine tests that can tell doctors how much radiation a person has been exposed to. Doctors know how much radiation patients are exposed to in certain medical situations. An example of this would be radiation treatment for cancer. Radiation treatment machines are programmed to give exact doses of radiation.

Read the detailed description

MSKCC patients undergoing TBI as part of a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) will have blood drawn and urine collected for use in the validation and refinement of new methods for rapid high-throughput radiation biodosimetry. These blood and urine samples will be collected before, and at defined times after TBI. Blood sampling will occur in the same manner that it does during routine patient care during HSCT.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood SamplesOther

    blood (approximately two 4 ml; equivalent to less than 2 tablespoon) and urine (a cup of urine) samples or testing a total of three times. Blood will be drawn and urine will be collected once before radiation treatment and twice after first radiation treatment.

Study groups in NCT00581958
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients undergoing HSCTResearch subjects will have blood and/or urine sampled at three time points in the Department of Radiation Oncology. Participating patients will have at least a total two samples collected at each time point. The first sampling will occur before the first TBI treatment is given. The second sampling will occur before the second TBI treatment, usually 3 to 8 hours after the first treatment (in the case of multifraction TBI). If a patient is being treated with single fraction TBI, then the second sampling will occur approximately 3-8 hours after the first TBI treatment. The third and final sampling will occur at the next morning blood draw, prior to the fourth TBI treatment (in the case of multifraction TBI), 24 hours after the first TBI treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. To develop, validate and refine high-throughput platforms for radiation biodosimetry using metabolomic assays.

    The approach involves profiling blood and urinary metabolites that are specific for radiation exposure and dose.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 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 5 Nov 2018. 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?

To develop, validate and refine high-throughput platforms for radiation biodosimetry using metabolomic assays. (time frame: 3 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 5 Nov 2018.
