Trial summary

Background: Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a form of bone marrow failure. It usually results from a cytotoxic T cell attack on the marrow stem cell. Two treatments can be used for SAA. One is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The other is immunosuppressive treatment (IST). Read more about this study

cytotoxic T cell attack on the marrow stem cell. Two treatments can be used for SAA. One is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The other is immunosuppressive treatment (IST). In most cases, HSCT or IST works. But for some people, clonal evolution occurs after IST. One of the most common forms of clonal evolution is chromosome 7 abnormalities. These have a poor prognosis. HSCT can be used to treat them. Researchers do not know why clonal evolution happens. They want to look at data from past studies to learn more.

Objective:

To compare the data of people with SAA who developed chromosome 7 abnormalities between those who ultimately received HSCT versus those who received chemotherapy alone or supportive care.

Eligibility:

Adults and children with SAA who were enrolled on NHLBI protocol 12-H-0150, 06-H-0034, 03-H-0249, 03-H-0193, 00-H-0032, or 90-H-0146

Design:

This study uses data from past studies. The participants in those studies have allowed their data to be used in future research.

Researchers will review participants medical records. They will collect clinical data, such as notes, test results, and imaging scans. They will also collect the research data gathered as part of the original study.

Researchers will enter the data into an in-house database. It is password protected. All data will be kept in secure network drives or in sites that comply with NIH security rules.

Other studies may be added in the future.

Read the detailed description

Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a form of bone marrow failure in most cases is the result of a cytotoxic T cell attack on the marrow stem cell. It is effectively treated in most patients with either immunosuppressive treatment (IST) or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). However, after IST, 'clonal evolution' is a significant complication in about 15% of patients, presenting as either a new cytogenetic abnormality or morphological evidence of myeloid malignancy. In particular, the development of chromosome 7 abnormalities is considered high risk and is associated with poor prognosis. The optimal treatment of chromosome 7 abnormalities following SAA is not defined though HSCT is widely offered.

What is being measured

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

  1. Characteristics and outcomes of SAA patients who developed chromosome 7 abnormalities

    To compare characteristics and outcomes of SAA patients who developed chromosome 7 abnormalities between those who ultimately received HSCT versus those who received chemotherapy alone or supportive care

    Measured: Between the Period of 1990 to 2020

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Clinical predictors for the development of chromosome 7 abnormalities such as age, gender, baseline laboratory value

    To identify clinical predictors for the development of chromosome 7 abnormalities such as age, gender, baseline laboratory values, time from diagnosis to initial treatment, relapse, and number of IST treatments

    Measured: Between the Period of 1990 to 2020

  2. Ascertain the natural history of patients with a chromosome 7 abnormality on karyotype

    Ascertain the natural history of patients with a chromosome 7 abnormality on karyotype who were surveilled until the development of an overt myeloid neoplasm

    Measured: Between the Period of 1990 to 2020

  3. Morphological predictors in the bone marrow for progression to an overt myeloid neoplasm

    To identify morphological predictors in the bone marrow for progression to an overt myeloid neoplasm in those with without an overt myeloid neoplasm at the time of development of chromosome 7 abnormalities

    Measured: Between the Period of 1990 to 2020

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Severe Aplastic Anemia, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 29 Sep 2022. 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 United States. 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?

Characteristics and outcomes of SAA patients who developed chromosome 7 abnormalities (time frame: Between the Period of 1990 to 2020). 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 29 Sep 2022.
