About this study

Official title: Pilot Study Using Propranolol To Promote Prenylation Of The Gtpase Rap1b In Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

This is a an ancillary study designed to explore whether an additional cell signaling pathway (prenylation of Rap1) that was recently identified as being under beta-adrenergic control may be affected by beta-blocker use.

Read the detailed description

This is a proof of concept randomized controlled pilot study assessing whether prenylation and membrane localization of Rap1 in PBMCs can be altered in individuals undergoing autologous Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT) for Multiple Myeloma by administering a daily beta-blocker (propranolol) to 20 participants. Outcomes of patients on this clinical trial will be compared to 20 participants in a control arm.

Blood Draw

What participants receive

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

  • Blood DrawOther

    Lab will draw one tube of blood to be stored in 8 mL Becton Dickinson (BD) Vacutainer Cell Preparation Tube (CPT) tubes at three study time points as described in Table 4.7b. These time points include baseline, Day -2 (immediately prior to transplant, central line placement, or administration of any conditioning regimen), and Day +28.

    Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) will be isolated from the whole blood samples collected from patients at the three designated time points (Baseline, Day -2, and Day +28). The lab will conduct western blotting on the cytosolic and membrane fractions of isolated PBMCs to determine the distribution of Rap1 in the different fractions, and the status of Rap1 prenylation in the cells.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control ArmPatients who participate as controls on the main study will be controls on this ancillary study. The control arm will have blood drawn at baseline, day -2 and day -28 for the Rap1 testing.
Receives: Other: Blood Draw
Propranolol ArmPatients who participate on the propranolol arm on the main study will be on the propranolol arm on this ancillary study. The propranolol arm will have blood drawn at baseline, day -2 and day -28 for the Rap1 testing.
Receives: Other: Blood Draw

What is being measured

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

  1. Prenylation levels in response to propranolol in a population of patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

    Level of prenylation will be compared between patients exposed vs. not exposed to propranolol from 1-3 weeks before to 4 weeks following transplantation.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, run by Medical College of Wisconsin 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 26 Feb 2020. 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?

Prenylation levels in response to propranolol in a population of patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (time frame: 1 year). 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 26 Feb 2020.
