About this study

Official title: A Study of the Metabolic Changes in Leukemia Cells Following Treatment in AML Patients

This research trial studies metabolic changes in blood samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Studying samples of blood from patients with acute myeloid leukemia in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about cancer and the development of drug resistance.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the metabolic adaptations that occur following exposure to standard chemotherapeutic agents using peripheral blood mononuclear cells from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples for analysis via cell isolation, glycolytic flux and oxygen consumption assays, viability assays, and western blot at baseline, 24, 48, and 72 hours after starting chemotherapy.

Being tested
Cytology Specimen Collection Procedure, Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
Medical subject headings
Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute

What is being measured

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

    Results will be analyzed using descriptive statistics. Comparison between groups will be done using t-tests or ANOVA procedures. Other inferential statistical analysis will be conducted as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after starting chemotherapy

  3. Number of mononuclear cells per sample determined by cell isolation

    Results will be analyzed using descriptive statistics. Comparison between groups will be done using t-tests or analysis of variance (ANOVA) procedures. Other inferential statistical analysis will be conducted as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after starting chemotherapy

  4. Oxygen consumption rate

    Results will be analyzed using descriptive statistics. Comparison between groups will be done using t-tests or ANOVA procedures. Other inferential statistical analysis will be conducted as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after starting chemotherapy

  5. Number of viable samples

    Results will be analyzed using descriptive statistics. Comparison between groups will be done using t-tests or ANOVA procedures. Other inferential statistical analysis will be conducted as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after starting chemotherapy

  6. Level of hexokinase by western blot

    Results will be analyzed using descriptive statistics. Comparison between groups will be done using t-tests or ANOVA procedures. Other inferential statistical analysis will be conducted as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after starting chemotherapy

  7. Level of phosphofructokinase-1 by western blot

    Results will be analyzed using descriptive statistics. Comparison between groups will be done using t-tests or ANOVA procedures. Other inferential statistical analysis will be conducted as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after starting chemotherapy

  8. Level of phosphoglycerate mutase by western blot

    Results will be analyzed using descriptive statistics. Comparison between groups will be done using t-tests or ANOVA procedures. Other inferential statistical analysis will be conducted as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after starting chemotherapy

  9. Total level of pyruvate kinase M2 by western blot

    Results will be analyzed using descriptive statistics. Comparison between groups will be done using t-tests or ANOVA procedures. Other inferential statistical analysis will be conducted as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after starting chemotherapy

  10. Level of pyruvate kinase M2 for phospho-T105 by western blot

    Results will be analyzed using descriptive statistics. Comparison between groups will be done using t-tests or ANOVA procedures. Other inferential statistical analysis will be conducted as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after starting chemotherapy

  11. Level of phosphofructokinase-2 by western blot

    Results will be analyzed using descriptive statistics. Comparison between groups will be done using t-tests or ANOVA procedures. Other inferential statistical analysis will be conducted as appropriate.

    Measured: Up to 72 hours after starting chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Recurrent Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Untreated Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2022. 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?

Glycolytic flux rate (time frame: Up to 72 hours after starting chemotherapy). The study lists 11 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 20 Oct 2022.
