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 8 to 28 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Study population: This descriptive, healthy sibling control study will utilize a convenience sample of 20 childhood ALL survivors, recruited from the Survivorship Program at Johns Hopkins (SPJH). The study will be introduced to survivors/parent/guardians during routine clinic visits. If they are interested in participation the consent form for both the survivor and sibling will be reviewed and taken home to discuss with the sibling and other family members. Follow-up phone call and questions will be encouraged. If all parties agree to participate an appointment will be set up to enroll the survivor/sibling and face to face informed consent will be obtained. A second method for recruitment will include mailings (see attached) to ALL survivors seen/treated at Johns Hopkins. Letters will include phone and email contacts to acquire further information and a post card to decline further contact.

Who may be able to join

  • Survivor:
  • Ages 8-28 (8 is chosen as lower age limit because developmental understanding will allow survivor to follow instructions for procedures, 28 is chosen as upper limit to include age ranges seen for treatment in the pediatric program)
  • Off therapy for at least 6 months and not more than 10 years (6 months
  • Biological sibling
  • Ages 8-28 (when more than one sibling is available the one closest in age will be chosen.))

Who cannot join

  • Uncontrolled medical conditions that could interfere with participation or interpretation of results
  • History of relapsed ALL or history of bone marrow transplantation

About this study

Official title: Endothelial Function, Arterial Stiffness and Components of Metabolic Syndrome in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Survivors

Specific Aim: Compare the endothelial function, arterial stiffness and components of metabolic syndrome of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) survivors to healthy sibling controls. Plan: A cross sectional study comparing ALL survivors to sibling controls including measures of endothelial function and arterial stiffness obtained form a peripheral artery tonometry device, height, weight, waist circumference, fasting lipid, glucose and insulin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins 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 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

measure of endothelial (time frame: at enrollment). 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 17 Apr 2013.
