About this study

Assessment of MicroRNA Expression in Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD).

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the expression levels of a novel class of molecules, called microRNAs, are associated with acute graft-versus-host disease frequency and severity. Acute graft-versus-host disease is a Acute GVHD is a medical condition that can become very serious. It happens when the donor cells attack and damage your tissues after transplant.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood samplesProcedure or surgery

    Also called peripheral blood, whole blood

    2-3 tablespoons of blood weekly for the first 100 days (about 14 weeks) following allogeneic transplant. In addition a blood sample will be obtained before starting the chemotherapy or radiation regimen for the transplant, in the day of the transplant and if your doctor suspects that you have acute graft-versus-host disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure miR-155 expression levels over time in the serum from patients receiving allogeneic stem cell transplant, and evaluate if miR-155 expression can predict development of aGVHD (Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease)

    Measured: up to 14 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Compare miR-155 expression at the time of clinical suspicion of aGVHD in allogeneic recipients with aGVHD diagnosis with matched allogeneic recipients without aGVHD.

    Measured: up to 14 weeks

  2. Correlate miR-155 expression at the time of clinical suspicion of aGVHD in allogeneic recipients with the severity of aGVHD.

    Measured: up to 15 weeks

  3. Perform serum global microRNA analysis in allogeneic recipients at the time of clinical suspicion of aGVHD to identify other miRNAs that are associated with aGVHD diagnosis and severity.

    Measured: up to 15 weeks

  4. Collect and store serum/plasma and mononuclear cells from patients receiving allogeneic blood and marrow stem cell transplantation.

    Perform the following: a) validation of the miRNA expression profiling signatures; b) correlation of miRNA expression among serum, plasma and mononuclear cells; and c) correlation of relevant miRNA targets or regulators expression (at the RNA or protein level) with miR-155 and other miRNAs expression identified in the aGVHD miRNA signatures.

    Measured: up to 14 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease and Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant, run by Ohio State University 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?

The sponsor lists 1 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 20 Jan 2025. 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?

Measure miR-155 expression levels over time in the serum from patients receiving allogeneic stem cell transplant, and evaluate if miR-155 expression can predict development of aGVHD (Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease) (time frame: up to 14 weeks). 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 20 Jan 2025.
