Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: 30 patients All patients are newly diagnosed as CLL patients with associated malignancies * Clinical history and clinical examination by the physician. * Complete blood picture: on peripheral blood sample. * BM aspiration: allowing diagnosis of the type of leukemia. * Immunophenotyping by flowcytometer: will be done on peripheral blood or bone marrow aspirate specimens for establishing diagnosis of CLL by detecting its markers ( CD5,CD19,CD23) and for detecting membrane expression of CD49d and CD 44

Who may be able to join

  • All patients are newly diagnosed as CLL

Who cannot join

  • : patients with associated malignancies

About this study

The interactions of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells with the microenvironment in secondary lymphoid tissues and the bone marrow are known to promote CLL cell survival and proliferation

Read the detailed description

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common type of chronic leukemia, accounting for approximately 40% of all leukemia's and mainly affecting older individuals. As it has a highly variable clinical course, identification of molecular and biological prognostic markers has provided new insights into the risk stratification of patients with CLL .

The interactions of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells with the microenvironment in secondary lymphoid tissues and the bone marrow are known to promote CLL cell survival and proliferation . CD49d (one of biomarkers) is one of independent prognostic risk parameter in CLL with important roles in shaping these interactions.

CD49d also is one of independent prognostic risk parameters in CLL that predict adverse outcome and linked to processes involved in interaction with the vascular endothelium and/or migration into the extravascular compartments .

The cell-surface glycoprotein CD44 is involved in cell motility, cellular trafficking, and stem cell differentiation . It contributes to the phenotypic hallmarks of many cancers, such as invasiveness, self-renewal, and sustained survival. CD44 transmits both growth and apoptotic signals, a functional duality that is also observed in hematologic malignancies.

CD44 expression in CLL is mediated by the tumor microenvironment. As a coreceptor, CD44 promotes leukemogenesis by regulating stimuli of MCL1 expression. Moreover, CD44 can be addressed therapeutically in CLL by specific antibodies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cellular Diagnosis, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by Assiut University.

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 1 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 21 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

To what extent the identification of molecular and biological prognostic markers has provided new insights into the risk stratification of patients with CLL . (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 21 Dec 2017.
