About this study

Official title: Characteristics and Outcomes of Patients With Hematological Malignancies at Main Assuit University Hospital : A Single Centre Study

The pattern of hematological malignancies (HMs) in developing countries and developed countries differs. Among the different types of cancers, leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma appear to have greatly increased in frequency.

Read the detailed description

The pattern of hematological malignancies (HMs) in developing countries and developed countries differs. Among the different types of cancers, leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma appear to have greatly increased in frequency. These malignancies are induced by genetic damage or mutation in somatic cells, which can result from environmental exposure to chemicals, ionizing radiation, and viral agents. Comparison of the incidence of HMs across geographic regions and time is complicated by the existence of different disease classification systems, and diagnostic criteria that vary by country, and even between hospitals and cancer registries (CRs) within a country.

Leukemia is a malignant neoplasm of hematopoietic stem cells characterized by diffuse replacement of bone marrow or peripheral blood by neoplastic cells; its etiology is obscure. Leukemia typing is based on how quickly the disease develops and progresses. Leukemia is either chronic or acute. Furthermore, leukemia typing is also based on the type of white blood cell that is affected. There are 4 common types of leukemia: acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Most acute leukemias are classified as lymphoid or myeloid lineages via standard microscopic morphology, cytochemistry, and immunophenotyping. Previous studies have shown that there are important differences in the incidence of the various leukemia subtypes according to geography, race/ethnicity, age, and trend pattern, indicating that the subtypes may have different etiological factors and that comprehensive global assessment of leukemia patterns is warranted.

Lymphomas are a heterogenous group of diseases with differences in epidemiology, histology, and prognosis. The incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and nonHodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is higher among males than females.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is included in the spectrum of diseases ranging from monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS) to plasma cell leukemia. Plasma cell proliferation usually results in extensive skeletal destruction, with osteolytic lesions, hypercalcemia, anemia, and occasionally plasma cell infiltration in different organs. Excessive production of a monoclonal (M) protein can lead to renal failure, hyperviscosity syndrome, or recurrent bacterial infections.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Haematologic Neoplasm, run by Assiut University.

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 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 Jun 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?

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?

overall survival rate (time frame: 5 years). 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 Jun 2024.
