About this study

Official title: Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers for Acute Graft-versus-host Disease: a Prospective Single Centre Biological Study

Validation of already described biomarkers on acute GVHD prediction and severity Fecal calprotectin and alpha 1 anti-trypsin, plasmatic RER3a, IL-8, Elafin, TNFaR1, IL-2R alpha, HGF

Read the detailed description

Description of the project: The main objective of this prospective biological single center study (non interventional) is to identify non invasive biomarkers able to diagnose acute GVHD and/or predict outcome of patients with acute GVHD. The primary objective of the study is double: (1): to evaluate markers as diagnostic markers of GVHD (2): to evaluate the potential of the markers as risk factor for steroid-refractory acute GVHD occurrence. Secondary objectives are: -to evaluate the markers as risk factors for GVHD -to evaluate the potential of these markers as prognostic factors of 6-month non-relapse mortality in patients with acute GVHD-to evaluate the additional value of the biomarkers to predict GVHD or steroid-refractory GVHD as compared to other known and routinely used risk factors (clinical grading system, performance status, albuminemia...). Stools and blood will be on day 7, 14, 21, 28 after transplantation and the first day of digestive GVHD. Management of patients will not differ from the usual care. Fecal calprotectin and alpha 1 anti-trypsin, plasmatic RER3a, IL-8, Elafin, TNFaR1, IL-2R alpha, HGF will be measured at each points by ELISA tests. 315 patients would be sufficient to estimate the area under the ROC curve with a half-width of the 99% confidence interval of 0.05, assuming 60% of patients would develop acute GVHD, and normally distributed markers. The diagnosis and prognosis values will be analyzed separately.

Expected results: If some biomarkers are found significantly associated with diagnosis or prognosis of acute GVHD, they will be compared with the current clinical, biological and histological markers. Indeed, these markers have a clinical potential impact only if they give similar or better information than routine currently available markers, ie: clinical GVHD grading system, performance status, gut endoscopy and histology. The non-invasivity of these biomarkers should also be taken into account (in comparison to histology).

Identification of diagnostic markers will avoid useless treatment with high dose corticosteroids in patients without GVHD Identification of prognostic markers will comfort the decision of a second-line treatment sooner than usually, ie: at GVHD onset. Indeed, the onset of a second-line treatment after a steroid-refractory GVHD varies from 3 to 21 days depending on clinical evolution of patients. If some prognostic markers are available at diagnosis, delay in second-line treatment can be shortened and the patient can consequently have an increased chance to response to an early treatment.

Identification of prognostic markers will also guide the corticosteroids decrease in patients with good prognosis GVHD

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with an Acute Graft-versus-Host disease

    Evaluation of fecal and plasmatic markers as diagnostic markers of GVHD

    Measured: The 6 first months after transplantation

  2. Number of patients with an Acute Graft-versus-Host disease refractory to steroids

    to evaluate the potential of these markers as risk factors for steroid-refractory acute GVHD occurrence

    Measured: 14 days after acute graft-versus-host disease

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute GVH Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 2 sites in France.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Marie Robin, MD, PhD (33142494724, marie.robin@sls.aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with an Acute Graft-versus-Host disease (time frame: The 6 first months after transplantation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Oct 2014.
