Trial summary

The link between the products of synthetic chemistry and cancer is at the heart of much research. Recent work has identified the use of plant protection agents by farmers as a risk factor for developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histology.

About this study

Official title: Study of the Role of Occupational Exposure to Pesticides in the Prognosis of Lymphomas Diffuse Large B Cell in

The link between the products of synthetic chemistry and cancer is at the heart of much research. Recent work has identified the use of plant protection agents by farmers as a risk factor for developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histology. Different biological models were used to understand the role of pesticides in lymphomagenesis. To summarize, most pesticides act at the cellular and molecular level, on different signaling pathways. After metabolized by cytochrome P450, these compounds generally become pro-oxidants. The increase in reactive oxygen species rate (SAR) causes the activation of signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and survival. But deregulation of oxidative status does not in itself justify the specificity of the impact of pesticides on specific pathologies. Several agents have a genotoxic effect, others induce the activation of signaling pathways by binding to transcription factors and others have immunomodulating properties.

The link between the products of synthetic chemistry and cancer is at the heart of much research. Recent work has identified the use of plant protection agents by farmers as a risk factor for developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histology. Different biological models were used to understand the role of pesticides in lymphomagenesis. To summarize, most pesticides act at the cellular and molecular level, on different signaling pathways. After metabolized by cytochrome P450, these compounds generally become pro-oxidants. The increase in reactive oxygen species rate (SAR) causes the activation of signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation and survival. But deregulation of oxidative status does not in itself justify the specificity of the impact of pesticides on specific pathologies. Several agents have a genotoxic effect, others induce the activation of signaling pathways by binding to transcription factors and others have immunomodulating properties.

Among these four mechanisms by which pesticides are involved in lymphomagenesis, two are also associated with resistance to chemotherapy. Thus, genotoxic agents leads the implementation process of DNA repair, used to repair genotoxic lesions induced by chemotherapeutic agents and evade apoptosis. On the other hand, to survive a high level of ROS, the tumor cell raises the level of antioxidant defenses, maintaining redox homeostasis and preventing oxidative stress. However, a high production of antioxidants constitutes a barrier to the effectiveness of anti-tumor agents which are effective in the generation of oxidative stress.

What is being measured

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

  1. pesticide exposure

    The exposure measurement will be carried out using a self-administered questionnaire sent to patients on their professional activities. If farming a second questionnaire will further characterize the exposure to pesticides

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma Diffuse Large B-cell, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2017. 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 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?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

pesticide exposure (time frame: 1 day). 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 10 Oct 2017.
