About this study

LThe main aim of this project is to provide an immunophenotypic and immunometabolic characterisation of patients with Acute Leukaemia, before and after therapy, and to understand how changes in the immune system impact the response to therapy.

Specifically:

  1. The association between the molecular and metabolic characteristics of leukaemic cells and those of the surrounding immune system will be assessed, in order to identify immune-modulatory metabolic mechanisms activated by malignant cells.
  2. The association between immunometabolic signatures and response to therapies will be assessed.
  3. The role of EVs as a vehicle for metabolic units capable of regulating the metabolism of immune system cells will be explored.
Read the detailed description

Multicentre biological study, aimed at collecting and characterising human tissue isolated from acute leukaemia patients. In the context of routine care visits, peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) samples will be taken from these patients at different time-points, which will be compared with samples obtained from healthy control subjects.Patients belonging to the haematology OU of the IRCCS AOU of Bologna and to the haematology OUs of the participating centres, suffering from acute leukaemia, will be enrolled. They must be eligible for a treatment scheme that includes either conventional chemotherapy or innovative therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies, molecular therapies with specific targets, metabolic and immunological therapies, as part of the normal care pathway. It is also planned to enrol healthy donors whose samples will be provided by:

  • IRCCS AOU of Bologna Immunohaematology and Transfusion Medicine Service (buffy coat)
  • Italian Association against Leukaemia, Lymphoma and Myeloma in Bologna (AIL BOLOGNA ODV), within the Haematology Unit of the IRCCS AOU of Bologna (peripheral blood).

What is being measured

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

  1. the association between the molecular and metabolic characteristics of leukaemic cells and those of the surrounding immune system, in order to identify immuno-modulatory metabolic mechanisms implemented by malignant cells

    molecular and metabolic characterisation of the bone marrow infiltrate

    Measured: Once the sample is collected, through study completion, an average of 1 year

  2. the association between immunometabolic signatures and response to therapies

    evaluation of the immunometabolic profile pre- and post therapy and possible relapse

    Measured: Once the sample is collected, through study completion, an average of 1 year

  3. the role of EVs as a vehicle for metabolic units capable of regulating the metabolism of immune system cells

    Characterisation of the vesicular component EV and by modulating various metabolic

    Measured: Once the sample is collected, through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Leukemia, 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 8 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 Feb 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 Antonio Curti, MD (+39 0512144074, antonio.curti2@unibo.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the association between the molecular and metabolic characteristics of leukaemic cells and those of the surrounding immune system, in order to identify immuno-modulatory metabolic mechanisms implemented by malignant cells (time frame: Once the sample is collected, through study completion, an average of 1 year). The study lists 3 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 Feb 2025.
