Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to develop fecal tests that will determine the extent of radiation exposure in patients undergoing radiation treatment for cancer. This project will determine whether fecal biomarkers can be used to diagnose exposure to radiation. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to develop fecal tests that will determine the extent of radiation exposure in patients undergoing radiation treatment for cancer. This project will determine whether fecal biomarkers can be used to diagnose exposure to radiation.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing TBI as part of a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) will have feces collected for use in the validation and refinement of new methods for rapid radiation biodosimetry. The stool samples will be collected before, and at defined times after TBI. Stool sampling will occur in the same manner that it does during routine patient care during HSCT.

What is being measured

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

  1. To describe changes in gene expression associated with exposure to radiation

    Changes in gene expression will be measured as abundance of RNA levels relative to the weight of feces

    Measured: prior to TBI treatment (baseline) and up to 2 weeks following the last dose of TBI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Total-body Irradiation and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant, run by Medical College of Wisconsin 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 0 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 22 Jun 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?

To describe changes in gene expression associated with exposure to radiation (time frame: prior to TBI treatment (baseline) and up to 2 weeks following the last dose of TBI). 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 Jun 2016.
