About this study

Official title: Chemotherapy and Anti-angiogenic Agents- Induced Thrombosis in Cancer.

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients receiving chemotherapy may help doctors learn more about the effects of chemotherapy on cells. It may also help doctors understand how patients respond to treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is studying biomarkers related to thrombosis in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma receiving chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To measure levels of circulating tissue factor (TF) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma at several time points before, during, and after the administration of chemotherapy and/or antiangiogenic agents.

Secondary

  • To measure the correlation of TF with two markers of coagulation activation (i.e., D-dimer, thrombin-antithrombin [TAT] complexes) and two markers of endothelial activation (i.e., soluble E-selectin, soluble thrombomodulin) in these patients.
  • To measure and compare (descriptively) our microparticle-associated TF procoagulant activity assay with two other assays using samples from these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo blood sample collection at baseline and then periodically during treatment. Circulating tissue factor (TF) activity levels and coagulation and endothelial activation (by ELISA) are measured. Medical charts are reviewed for sociodemographic and medical information.

After completion of study, patients are followed up for 3 months.

What participants receive

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

  • enzyme-linked immunosorbent assayOther

    Measurement of markers of coagulation and endothelial activation

  • laboratory biomarker analysisOther

    The PPP will be used for in vitro assays to measure TF activity, coagulation markers and markers of endothelial cell damage

  • medical chart reviewOther

    The patient's clinical course with respect to development of venous thromboembolism and response to treatment will be monitored for a total of 3 months from enrollment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Levels of circulating tissue factor (TF)

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Alteration in coagulation parameters

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Correlation of TF with markers of coagulation activation and endothelial activation

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Incidence of venous thromboembolism

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Neoplasm, run by UNC Lineberger 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2016. 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?

Levels of circulating tissue factor (TF) (time frame: 5 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 22 Aug 2016.
