About this study

Official title: A Review of Reports of Lymphoma Occurring in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis or Crohn's Disease in Centocor-Sponsored and Centocor-Supported Disease Registries

The purpose of this study is to examine the association with EBV infection, monitor the occurrence of lymphoma and assess lymphoma risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and/or Crohns disease and you have taken infliximab.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational (review of records), retrospective (research activity that is performed after the events under the study have occurred), registry study where data was collected from 3 different registries sponsored or supported by Centocor. Registries are Centocor-sponsored Therapy Resource Evaluation and Assessment Tool (TREAT™) Registry of Crohn's Disease, and in the following two Centocor-supported registries the Consortium of Rheumatology Researchers of North America, Inc. (CORRONA) registry and the Infliximab RA Registry, a subset of the National Database Registry of Rheumatoid Arthritis (NDBRRA) and of the National Databank for Rheumatic Diseases (NDB). A registry is data collection in a real life physician-patient setting. Physicians prescribe medications for rheumatoid arthritis and/or Crohns disease in accordance with their usual clinical practice and then record this information and provide it to Centocor. For this registry study, Centocor collected data from 3 registries to evaluate the risk of getting lymphoma if you have rheumatoid arthritis and/or Crohns disease and you have taken infliximab. Patients who were in one of the 3 registries and had rheumatoid arthritis and/or Crohns disease and did not take infliximab were also evaluated. This registry study does not involve the use of any investigational drugs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Occurrence of lymphoma

    To examine the occurrence of lymphoma among patients in one Centocor-sponsored and Centocor-supported disease registries

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Assessment of lymphoma risk

    To assess lymphoma risk in relevant registry patient populations, including patients not receiving anti-TNF therapies, patients receiving conventional immunosuppressants (including corticosteroids), and patients receiving anti-TNF therapies

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Evaluation of association of Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) with the lymphoma

    To evaluate all available data on tissue samples of individual lymphoma cases for the potential association of EBV with the lymphoma.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lymphoma, run by Centocor Ortho Biotech Services, L.L.C. at 3 sites in United States.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Occurrence of lymphoma (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 10 Apr 2014.
