About this study

Official title: Regulatory T Cells at Engraftment as Predictors of Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors predict whether patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant will develop acute graft-versus-host disease.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying T cells to see how well they help in predicting acute graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the association between regulatory T-lymphocyte (Treg) subsets present at engraftment and at day 28 with the incidence of acute graft-versus-host-disease (aGVHD) in patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
  • To identify gut-homing and skin-homing Treg subsets and determine their role during engraftment and at day 28 as a predictor of gut and skin aGVHD, respectively.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo blood sample collection at the time of neutrophil engraftment prior to stem cell transplant (SCT) and post-SCT on days 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Blood samples are analyzed for T-cell subsets and for the percentage of regulatory T-lymphocyte (Treg) or other T-cell subsets expressing specific homing receptors for the gut or skin via flow cytometry.

Patients' medical records are also reviewed periodically.

What participants receive

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

  • flow cytometryOther

    Lymphocyte Analysis: Lymphocyte subset studies will be performed on samples obtained from the patient, donor, or graft. Aliquots will be analyzed using standard flow cytometry.

  • laboratory biomarker analysisOther

    Identification of gut-homing and skin-homing Treg subsets

  • Data CollectionOther

    Patient samples will receive an alphanumeric code assigned by the principal investigator so that patient and donor identity will be known only to study investigators and research staff. Clinical records on each patient will be reviewed by participating investigators or research staff on a routine basis so that relevant clinical information including survival, malignancy relapse, and GVHD can be included in the patient database. Flow cytometry results will also be included in this database.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of regulatory T-lymphocytes (Tregs) at engraftment

    percentage of Treg subsets present in patient's blood before they undergo stem cell transplant

    Measured: day of stem cell transplant

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Association between Treg subsets and acute graft-vs.-host disease outcomes

    Identify gut homing and skin homing Treg lymphocyte subsets and compare and contrast them to determine links between the Treg subsets and gut and/or skin acute graft-vs.-host-disease incidence, stage/grade, target organ involvement, and responsiveness to therapy.

    Measured: at stem cell transplant and at day 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram 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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Nov 2019. 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 stopped early (reason given: Funding unavailable). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Percentage of regulatory T-lymphocytes (Tregs) at engraftment (time frame: day of stem cell transplant). 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 15 Nov 2019.
