Trial summary

This research trial studies lymphocyte profiles and activation status in patients with graft-versus-host disease. Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to graft-versus-host disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Lymphocyte Profiles and Activation Status in the Development of Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease

This research trial studies lymphocyte profiles and activation status in patients with graft-versus-host disease. Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to graft-versus-host disease.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To explore and assess changes in subsets and activation status of B-, T,-, and natural killer (NK) lymphocytes in peripheral blood following allogeneic stem cell transplant and how they may be associated with clinical events with an ultimate future goal of conducting a larger successor study to identify potential therapeutic targets based on its findings.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the feasibility of obtaining and comparing patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) with time-matched stem cell transplant (SCT) patients without cGVHD and identify logistical challenges with obtaining and processing samples in each of the subgroups of interest for these analyses.

II. To assess and explore differences in lymphocyte subsets (B-, T-, and NK) between those with vs. without cGVHD.

III. To assess and explore differences in cytokines in patients with cGVHD vs. those without.

IV. To describe lymphocyte subsets and activation and explore how these may be related to specific clinical manifestations of cGVHD.

OUTLINE:

Blood samples are analyzed for activation status of B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and NK lymphocytes via flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot (ELISPOT), immunoblot, and microarray assays.

What is being measured

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

  1. Subsets and activation status of B, T, and NK lymphocytes

    Side by side box plots with overlaid plotted points will be used to assess potential differences in continuous markers between groups.

    Measured: Up to 2 months

Secondary outcomes (4)

    Measured: Up to 2 months

  2. Differences in lymphocyte subsets (B, T, and NK) between those with vs. without cGVHD

    Measured: Up to 2 months

  3. Differences in cytokines in patients with cGVHD vs. those without

    Measured: Up to 2 months

  4. Differences in in lymphocyte activation between those with vs. without cGVHD

    Measured: Up to 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Graft Versus Host Disease and Hematopoietic/Lymphoid Cancer, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.

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 2 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Mar 2015. 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?

Subsets and activation status of B, T, and NK lymphocytes (time frame: Up to 2 months). 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 2 Mar 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
