About this study

Official title: DNA and RNA Viruses of the Blood Virome of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients: a Longitudinal Observational Study During a One-year Period After Transplantation - the Geneva Blood Virome Project (GeBVir)

The Geneva Blood Virome Project is a longitudinal observational study. The main objective is to describe the kinetics of the plasmatic viral load of a selection of at least 21 DNA and RNA viruses of the blood virome in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, over a one-year period after transplantation. Secondary objectives are: 1) to assess the prevalence of DNA and RNA viruses plasmatic detections and co-detections, 2) to assess the cumulative incidence of DNA and RNA viruses plasmatic detection. The population of the study consists in adult patients receiving allogeneic stem cell transplantation at the University Hospitals of Geneva, enrolled in an already existing monocentric cohort, and for which clinical specimens are collected and stored at the time and after transplantation. The investigators plan to include 120 patients whose plasma samples are collected from March 2017 and to systematically use plasma samples collected on the day of transplantation and several time points after transplantation to screen DNA and RNA viruses by qualitative and quantitative real-time PCR and RT-PCR.

Read the detailed description

The Geneva Blood Virome Project is a longitudinal observational study. The main objective is to describe the kinetics of the plasmatic viral load of a selection of at least 21 DNA and RNA viruses of the blood virome (Herpesviridae Polyomaviridae, Adenoviridae, Parvoviridae, Anelloviridae, Picornaviridae and Flaviviridae) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, over a period of one year after transplantation. These DNA and RNA viruses can be responsible of acute infections, chronic infections or reactivations after transplantation. Secondary objectives are : 1) to assess the prevalence of DNA and RNA viruses plasmatic detections and co-detections at pre-specified time-points, 2) to assess the cumulative incidence of DNA and RNA viruses plasmatic detection at pre-specified time-points. The population of the study consists in adult patients receiving allogeneic stem cell transplantation at the University Hospitals of Geneva and who are enrolled in an already existing monocentric cohort named "Cohort of infectious disease in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients" and for which clinical specimens are collected and stored at the time and after transplantation. The investigators plan to include 120 patients whose plasma samples are collected from March 2017 and to systematically use plasma samples collected at 5 pre-specified time points (the day of transplantation, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and one year after transplantation) to perform qualitative and quantitative real-time r(RT)-PCR assays for the screening of DNA and RNA viruses. The definitive analysis of results should be done by the end of 2020.

What participants receive

  • Real time PCR and RT-PCR for DNA and RNA viral speciesDiagnostic test

    Qualitative and quantitative real time PCR and RT-PCR assays will be performed on hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients' plasma samples collected at five specific time points over a one-year period after transplantation (the day of transplantation (D0), 30 days (D30), 3 months (M3), 6 months (M6) and one year (Y1) after transplantation), for the screening of a selection of at least 21 DNA and RNA viruses (belonging to the Herpesviridae, Polyomaviridae, Adenoviridae, Parvoviridae, Anelloviridae, Picornaviridae and Flaviviridae families).

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasmatic viral load kinetics of DNA and RNA viruses

    Measurement of the plasmatic viral load of DNA and RNA viruses belonging to the Herpesviridae, Polyomaviridae, Adenoviridae, Parvoviridae, Anelloviridae, Picornaviridae and Flaviviridae families, with real time (RT-)PCR on plasma samples collected at pre-specified timepoints (the day of transplantation (D0), 30 days (D30), 3 months (M3), 6 months (M6) and one year (Y1) after transplantation) (expressed as fold-increase).

    Measured: one-year period after transplantation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Prevalence of plasmatic detection of DNA and RNA viruses

    Detection of DNA and RNA viruses using real time (RT-)PCR performed on plasma samples collected at pre-specified timepoints

    Measured: one-year period after transplantation

  2. Cumulative incidence of DNA and RNA viruses plasmatic detection

    Detection of DNA and RNA viruses using real time (RT-)PCR performed on plasma samples collected at pre-specified timepoints

    Measured: one-year period after transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematopietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Blood Virome, run by University Hospital, Geneva at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 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 Jan 2021. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Plasmatic viral load kinetics of DNA and RNA viruses (time frame: one-year period after transplantation). 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 Jan 2021.
