Trial summary

Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) and relapse, which is mainly due to lack of Graft-versus-Leukemia (GVL), are the most frequent and severe complications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Characteristics and Dynamics of TCR Repertoire in Peripheral Blood of Patients With Hematological Malignancies After Myeloablative Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) and relapse, which is mainly due to lack of Graft-versus-Leukemia (GVL), are the most frequent and severe complications of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). T cells expanded from mature T cells in the graft play a dominant role in development of GVHD and GVL early after allo-HSCT. Recent applications of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) to the T cells repertoire open a new avenue for us to look deeply into how these T cells dynamically adjust in the context of the recipient's environment.

The main goal of this research study is to set up a mathematical model based on T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing to enable prediction for the key immunologic outcomes early post-transplantation. This study will deepen the understanding of the molecular mechanisms driving the most deadly post-transplantation complications, and serve as convincing evidence upon which to choose a better donor and a more proper transplantation approach.

This observational trial will perform HTS for TCR β-chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) repertoires of grafts and peripheral blood samples from recipients post-transplantation and analyze the relationship between dynamics of TCR CDR3 repertoires and clinical outcomes early post-transplantation, especially including GVHD and relapse. The investigators want to know how the antigen environment in recipients drives dynamics of mature T cells from grafts in order to use the new discovered rules to better predict and treat the disease process.

What participants receive

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

  • Myeloablative Hematopoietic Stem Cell TransplantationOther

    Myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from many kinds of donors, including matched related donor, matched unrelated donor, haploidentical related donor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Perform TCR β-chain CDR3 high-throughput sequencing and TCR repertoire analysis on T cells from the graft and the peripheral blood at the time of 1-month, 2-month after allo-HSCT.

    To identify the mechanisms specific for TCR repertoire dynamics and rearrangement characteristics.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Perform longitudinal immune analysis on T cells purified from patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT who develop acute and chronic GVHD, relapse, and virus infectious complications post-transplant.

    Characterize the main TCR β-chain CDR3 sequences dynamic change responsible for acute GVHD, chronic GVHD and defects in protective immunity in patients undergoing HSCT.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Perform horizontal comparison analysis on the diversity index of T cells purified from the grafts and the patients undergoing allogeneic HSCT.

    Characterize the TCR β-chain CDR3 repertoire dynamic change responsible for acute GVHD, chronic GVHD and defects in protective immunity in patients undergoing HSCT.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematologic Neoplasms and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, run by Affiliated Hospital to Academy of Military Medical Sciences at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 4 Oct 2018. 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 China. 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?

Perform TCR β-chain CDR3 high-throughput sequencing and TCR repertoire analysis on T cells from the graft and the peripheral blood at the time of 1-month, 2-month after allo-HSCT. (time frame: 3 months). 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 4 Oct 2018.
