What participants receive

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

  • MRI and cognitive evaluationProcedure or surgery

    Patients will undergo a brain MRI study and a brief neuropsychological evaluation, at the time of enrollment for controls and prior to undergoing the conditioning treatment required for the stem cell transplant for patients. A follow-up MRI and cognitive evaluation will be performed approximately 12 months after the transplant for patients.

  • MRI and cognitive evaluationProcedure or surgery

    Pt will undergo a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) study of the brain and a brief neuropsychological evaluation, at the time of enrollment for healthy controls and prior to undergoing the conditioning treatment required for the stem cell transplant for patients (Baseline/Time 1).

  • brain MRI study and a brief neuropsychological evaluationProcedure or surgery

    A brain MRI study and a brief neuropsychological evaluation will be performed at baseline (Time 1). A follow-up MRI and cognitive evaluation will be performed and about 12 months after the baseline for healthy controls

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ATBI and Chemotherapy Conditioning Regimen. Twenty (20) patients will undergo conditioning treatment with TBI and chemotherapy prior to receiving a myeloablative allogeneic or an autologous HSCT.
Receives: Procedure: MRI and cognitive evaluation
BChemotherapy Alone Conditioning Regimen Twenty (20) patients will undergo conditioning treatment with an all chemotherapy regimen prior to receiving an allogeneic or an autologous HSCT.
Receives: Procedure: MRI and cognitive evaluation
CA cohort of twenty (20) healthy controls, frequency matched on age, gender, and education, will be recruited at WCMC to participate in the study.
Receives: Procedure: brain MRI study and a brief neuropsychological evaluation

What is being measured

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

  1. assess changes in hippocampal volume & white matter integrity prospectively in adult ca pts who get treatment w/i chemotherapy alone or in combination with total body irradiation (TBI) before undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

    Measured: conclusion of the study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. assess memory and executive functions prospectively in these patients. We will investigate whether there is an association between structural brain changes and cognitive performance.

    Measured: conclusion of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 10 inclusion and 10 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 10 Dec 2015. 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?

assess changes in hippocampal volume & white matter integrity prospectively in adult ca pts who get treatment w/i chemotherapy alone or in combination with total body irradiation (TBI) before undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. (time frame: conclusion of the study). 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 10 Dec 2015.
