About this study

Official title: Changes Over Time in the Gut Microbiota of High-risk Hematological Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (COLLECT)

COLLECT is a monocentric, prospective, observational study, which aims to assess the association between changes in the intestinal microbiota and the incidence of gastrointestinal graft-versus-host diseases (GvHD). Patients admitted for performance of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or patients with a first diagnosis of an acute myeloid leukemia (AML) will be enrolled and stool samples will be analyzed using next-generation sequencing. In addition to stool, blood and urine samples will be collected for cytokine and 3-indoxylsulfate analysis.

Exposure to drugs will not be influenced and remains at the discretion of the treating physician.

Read the detailed description

Documentation of patient is performed by using the web-based survey platform www.ClinicalSurveys.net which was set up by researchers of the University Hospital of Cologne. This survey platform enables an optimal performance in epidemiological, observational, and interventional trials and is characterized by layered access security and frequent data backup. It has been used for numerous registry and cohort studies with approval of competent authorities and ethics boards.

The following data items of patients with a written informed consent are prospectively documented into our database:

  • Demographics
  • Chemotherapeutic agents
  • Other immunosuppressives
  • Radiation treatment
  • Antibiotic prophylaxis and treatment
  • Bowel movement abnormalities
  • HSCT Donor and recipient information
  • Status of hematological disease
  • Days with neutropenia
  • Fever and infectious complications

The following samples of patients with a written informed consent are prospectively collected, stored and analyzed:

  • Stool samples (16S rRNA analysis)
  • Urine (3-IS analysis)
  • Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) blood samples (PBMCs Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis)
  • Citrate blood samples (cytokine analysis)

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT03148197
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Admitted for allogeneic HSCTPatients admitted for performance of an allogeneic HSCT after high dosis chemotherapy.
First diagnosis AMLPatients admitted with a first diagnosis of an acute myeloid leukemia for chemotherapy. Depending on factors like age or molecular risk profile some of these patients will proceed to allogeneic HSCT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of the association between changes in the intestinal microbiota and the incidence of gastrointestinal GvHD

    Analyse changes over time in the intestinal microbiota using 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) analysis and assess microbiota diversity.

    Measured: 365 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Assessment of the association between changes in the intestinal microbiota and the incidence of non-relapse mortality

    Analyse changes over time in the intestinal microbiota using 16S rRNA analysis and assess microbiota diversity.

    Measured: 365 days

  2. Investigation of the influence of antibiotics and other risk factors on microbiota changes within this cohort

    Analyse changes over time in the intestinal microbiota using 16S rRNA analysis and assess microbiota diversity.

    Measured: 365 days

  3. Analysis of the association of 3-indoxylsulfate 3-IS in urine/blood with observed microbiota changes

    3-indoxylsulfate (3-IS) concentration levels will be quantified using liquid chromatography in combination with mass spectrometry.

    Measured: 365 days

  4. Assessment of the effect of microbiota dysbiosis on cytokine and lymphocyte profiles

    Cytokine analysis will be performed on the collected plasma samples (citrate) using multiplex assays and read on a Luminex100™ platform.

    Measured: 365 days

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assessment of the association between changes in the intestinal microbiota and the incidence of gastrointestinal GvHD (time frame: 365 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03148197, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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?
