About this study

Acute leukemia is generally understood to be a neoplastic process that exerts a maturational block at a hematopoietic precursor cell level, accompanied by a proliferative drive of varying degree. The resulting accumulation of cells, most frequently in the marrow, causes the typical clinical picture, which includes marrow failure, tissue infiltration, organomegaly and on occasion, tumor masses. AL is broadly classified as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) (1).

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is frequently diagnosed in children and young adults, with incidence peaks between 2 and 5 years of age (2), whereas AML is the most common acute type in adults (3).

In addition to leukemia cells themselves, cells of the immune system are a fundamental component of the tumor microenvironment (TME), which often modify the TME to be more favorable to tumor development and progression through producing cytokines and mediators (4,5) . Interleukins / interleukin receptors interaction plays important roles in the antitumor immune response through mediating cell-cell communication in TME and is reported to be relevant to patient prognosis (6,7). As a member of the Interleukin family, Interleukin 7 (IL7) play vital roles in hematopoiesis and the development of T lymphocytes, as well as the inflammation, autoimmune diseases and hematological cancers. Its function is mediated by the IL7 R, which is a membrane receptor consisted of the specific IL7Ra chain (CD127) and IL-7Rγ chain (common gamma chain shared by the receptors for IL-2,-4,-9,-15, and-21) (8). It is thus not surprising that activation of IL-7 signalling is seen in the majority of T-ALLs and in some of the B cell precursor ALL (9,10).

Consistent with the absolute requirement of IL-7 to human T cell development, most T-ALLs have been shown to respond to IL-7. Thus targeting IL-7 signaling might be a reasonable general approach for treatment of T-ALL, regardless the presence of activating mutations. (10)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Benefit: To Patient Have Investigation for Diagnosis and Follow up for His Disease and Reach to New Method Help in Early Diagnosis of Lymphoid Disorder, run by Rania Abdeltwab Abdelazeim.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Dec 2022. 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?

Immunophenotypic expression of IL7R α in acute leukemia cases. (time frame: 2022-2024). 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 8 Dec 2022.
