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 1 year to 17 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Study population: Patients fulfilling inclusion criteria and without exclusion criteria diagnosed at participating centres (Stockholm, Uppsala, Linköping, Lund).

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in Sweden
  • Age 1-17.99 years at diagnosis
  • Planned/Initiated treatment for ALL according to the ALLTogether1 protocol
  • Signed informed consent from parents and patients (from 12 years - voluntary if <15 years)

Who cannot join

  • Other underlying diseases which according to examiner's clinical assessment may increase the risk of bleeding or thrombosis and which are expected to lead to adaption of the therapy protocol for ALL (e g APS, moderate/severe v Willebrand disease, haemophilia)
  • Patient not treated according to the ALLTogether1 protocol (including patients with BCR::ABL1, mixed phenotype acute leukaemia - MPAL)

About this study

Official title: Coagulopathy in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia, Underlying Mechanisms and Ways to Optimise Treatment

The goal of this study is to investigate the hemostatic balance in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) treated according to the ALLTogether1 protocol with focus on the early treatment period including concomitant use of steroids and asparaginase.

The investigators aim to determine if complement proteins or microparticles can be used as clinically relevant predictive or diagnostic biomarkers for thrombosis and if global hemostatic assays can predict bleeding or thrombosis. Characterization of proteins connected to hemostasis before and during ALL treatment may provide pathophysiological insights regarding ALL- and treatment related coagulopathy. The ultimate goal of the study is to minimize the morbidity and mortality related to thrombosis and bleeding complications in children with ALL.

Several pediatric oncology centers in Sweden will be participating in this study, which will enroll approximately 100 pediatric patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Coagulopathy parametersDiagnostic test

    Also called Ultrasound

    Standard coagulation tests: APT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time), PT/INR (Prothrombin Time Test), Protein-C, Protein-S, Fibrinogen, Antithrombin, D-dimers.

    Global haemostasis assays: CAT (Calibrated Automated Thrombogram), OHP (Overall Haemostatic Potential), Fibrin clot turbidity assay, microparticle detection by flow cytometry, scanning electron microscopy.

    Protein expression profile (mass spectroscopy)

    Ultrasound of catheterised neck veins to detect clots

What is being measured

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

  1. Coagulation events (thrombosis and/or bleeding) in early phases of treatment for childhood ALL according to the ALLTogether1 therapy protocol

    Incidence of coagulation events during the induction and consolidation phases (first 106 days of ALL-therapy)

    Measured: From diagnosis until the start of the subsequent phase of therapy (day 0 to 106 in protocol therapy)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Laboratory abnormalities indicating a risk of haemostatic events in the early phases of childhood ALL therapy

    Incidence of laboratory abnormalities during the induction and consolidation phases (first 106 days of ALL-therapy)

    Measured: From diagnosis until the start of the subsequent phase of therapy (day 0 to 106 in protocol therapy)

  2. Sub-clinical catheter-related thrombosis (central vein catheters) during the early phases of childhood ALL therapy

    Thrombosis detected by ultrasound screening of catheterised neck veins

    Measured: At the end of induction (protocol day 29 +/- 3 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Thrombosis, run by Karolinska University Hospital.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mats M Heyman, M.D., PhD (+46706287698, mats.heyman@ki.se), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Coagulation events (thrombosis and/or bleeding) in early phases of treatment for childhood ALL according to the ALLTogether1 therapy protocol (time frame: From diagnosis until the start of the subsequent phase of therapy (day 0 to 106 in protocol therapy)). 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 5 Feb 2024.
