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 7 to 21 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Study population: Study entry is open to patients regardless of gender or ethnic background. While there will be every effort to seek out and include females and minority patients, the patient population is expected to be no different than the general pediatric oncology population seen at the participating institutions.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients
  • Age 7 years to less than or equal to 21 years at time of study enrollment.
  • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as first cancer diagnosis and in first complete remission. Any subtype is eligible.
  • Study enrollment must take place at/after six months of completion of all chemotherapy.
  • Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1, or 2. Use Karnofsky for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky for patients ≤ 16 years of age.
  • Any prior ALL therapy is allowable.

  • Siblings

  • Sibling of ALL patient.

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: Cardiometabolic Status in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, A Pilot Study

This is a prospective cohort study assessing measures of cardiometabolic status, body composition, IR and GH response to stimulation after therapy in children (age 7-21 years) treated for ALL. Patients and sibling controls will be recruited from the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Clinic at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective cohort study with two groups: survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have recently completed therapy (cases) and healthy siblings (controls) frequency matched by age and sex. Subjects in each group will have two visits. For cases, the first visit will be approximately 6 months after completion of treatment for ALL; for their siblings, the first visit occur at approximately the same time. For both cases and controls, the second visit will be 2 to 2.5 years after the first visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiometabolic Profile

    To determine the cardiometabolic profile (as measured by a single score based on adiposity, serum lipids, and vascular function) shortly after therapy (6 months after completion of therapy [Visit 1]) and again 2.5-3 yrs after completion of therapy (Visit 2) in 300 ALL patients, and compare with 200 sibling controls.

    Measured: up to 2.5-3 Years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Prevalence of Blunted Stimulated Growth Hormone Response

    To determine the prevalence of blunted stimulated GH response suggesting GH deficiency (peak GH <7mcg/L) in ALL survivors and controls: GH level will be obtained at baseline, then +30, +60, +90 and +120 minutes after clonidine (5 mcg/kg up to 200 mcg by mouth), followed by infusion of arginine (0.5 grams/kg up to 30 grams) with a series of GH levels at +140, +160, +180, +210, and +240 minutes. Blunted response to GH stimulation will be defined as peak GH level<7 mcg/L.

    Measured: Between 2.5 and 3 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by University of Minnesota.

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 9 inclusion and 10 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Cardiometabolic Profile (time frame: up to 2.5-3 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 2014.
