About this study

Official title: Study of Epigenetic and Inflammatory Markers of Accelerated Biological Ageing in the Follow-up of Patients With Hodgkin's Lymphoma in Complete Remission for at Least 2 Years

Study design: It is a monocentric and exploratory study, experimental on human tissues in vitro which involves the analysis of peripheral blood in patients with Hodgkin's lymphomas with the following characteristics:

  • in complete remission for at least two years after first-line therapy with stage IIb, III or IV at onset (Ann Arbor classification).
  • newly diagnosed (stage IIb, III or IV, Ann Arbor Classification).
Read the detailed description

The study aims to evaluate patients with hodgkin lymphoma in complete remission for at least 2 years and newly diagnosed (stage II b, stage III or stage IV) as they are currently characterised by a long life expectancy during which there is an increased and early incidence of non-neoplastic systemic complications as well as, of course, manifestations of secondary malignancies.

What is being measured

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

  1. evaluation of senescence markers (CD57, KLRG1,CD62L, CD45RA)

    Determine the biological age of patients

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 year

  2. DNA methylation (methylation rate)

    Determine the biological age of patients

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. evaluation of senescence markers (CD57, KLRG1,CD62L, CD45RA)

    Determine the possible acceleration of the biological age of patients

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 year

  2. DNA methylation (methylation rate)

    Determine the possible acceleration of the biological age of patients

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 2 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing peripheral blood sampling in people with Hodgkin Lymphoma in Remission, run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna at 1 site in Italy.

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 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2025. 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 Italy. 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?

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 Pier Luigi Zinzani, MD (+390512144042, pierluigi.zinzani@unibo.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

evaluation of senescence markers (CD57, KLRG1,CD62L, CD45RA) (time frame: through study completion, an average of 2 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 7 Jan 2025.
