  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Patients with a histologic diagnosis of small noncleaved cell (undifferentiated) (SNCL), lymphoblastic (LL), and large cell lymphoma (LCL) who were treated according to National Cancer Institute Pediatric Branch non-Hodgkin's lymphoma protocols 74-0, 75-6, 76-5, 77-04, 85-C-67, and 89-C-41A, and who have been in continuous remission for one year or longer following completion of treatment.

Patients who have relapsed and been successfully re-treated are not excluded, except for patients with lymphoblastic lymphoma who have been re-treated according to acute lymphoblastic leukemia protocols.

About this study

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has been studied in the Pediatric Branch for at least 20 years, during which time a number of different treatment protocols have been used. Approximately 110 patients have apparently been cured of their lymphoma. The present protocol has no therapeutic component, but is designed to document the late effects that may have been encountered by our patients, either as a consequence of the disease or its treatment. In essence, patients who consent to participate will be asked a series of questions pertaining to the quality of their life and possible medical problems that they may be encountering. In addition, they will receive a complete physical examination and undergo non-invasive investigations designed to identify the presence of unsuspected late effects. Investigators in the Eye Clinic, Dental Clinic, Audiology, Cardiology and Endocrinology departments will participate in the protocol. As a part of the study, blood samples will be obtained to investigate the possibility that predisposing genetic factors may be identifiable in the patients normal cells (e.g., p53 mutations, evidence of DNA instability). If such abnormalities are detected, blood samples from family members will also be examined to determine whether the defect was inherited.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2008. 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 United States. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00001301, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 4 Mar 2008.
