About this study

Official title: Abdominal Obesity and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Women Who Survived Cancer or a Related IllnessFollowing Total Body Irradiation and Stem Cell Transplant

The purpose of this study is to better understand why some women who survived cancer or a related illness later develop diabetes, problems with their cholesterol, or other problems that may lead to heart disease. Because these problems may be related to treatment with total body irradiation and a stem cell transplant, the investigators will compare the rates of obesity, cholesterol problems, and diabetes between women who were treated with total body irradiation and a stem cell transplant and women who were not.

The amount and location of fat stores in the abdomen is more important than overall weight or total body fat in the development of diabetes and cholesterol problems. In general, fat can be stored in several areas in the abdomen: around the organs (visceral fat), under the skin (subcutaneous fat), and in the liver (liver fat). People with higher amounts of fat around the organs (visceral fat), even those with a normal weight, are more likely to become diabetic or have high cholesterol. The amount of fat in each of these areas can be measured with an abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

In this study, the investigators will use blood tests, height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure measurements, and an abdominal MRI to evaluate for several risk factors of heart disease, including cholesterol problems, diabetes and pre-diabetes, elevated blood pressure, and increased abdominal fat.

Read the detailed description

We will enroll 60 female participants in this study. From the population of interest, female cancer survivors (or women treated for a related illness) who were treated with TBI prior to a SCT, we will enroll 30 participants, 10 from each of the following cancer groups: acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, and chronic myeloid leukemia. We are interested in determining the outcomes in adult survivors who have completed their growth by the time of study and yet are younger than the age when most women generally begin to develop insulin resistance or dyslipidemia in the general population. For this reason, we will enroll women who are 18 - 49 years of age at the time of study.

  • Questionnaires, Laboratory tests, Abdominal MRIOther

    Height, weight, waist and hip circumference; systolic and diastolic blood pressure; questionnaires; fasting blood tests: insulin, glucose, lipids (low density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides, LDL pattern, HDL and LDL subspecies), cardiac inflammatory markers (hsCRP, IL-1B, IL-6, IL-10, TNFa), leptin, adiponectin, IGF-1, and IGFBP3; abdominal MRI for visceral and subcutaneous fat measurement

What is being measured

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

  1. Explore whether visceral adipose tissue is significantly higher in women who were treated with total body irradiation (TBI) plus stem cell transplant in comparison with women who were not

    Measured: within 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Determine the differences in processes of changes, decisional balance for physical activity, body image, mood, and quality of life between the groups

    Measured: within 12 months

  2. Determine the correlation between the amount of visceral adipose tissue and fasting levels of triglycerides, LDL, HDL, insulin, glucose, and HOMA-IR in both groups.

    Measured: within 12 months

  3. To begin to characterize the psychosocial risk factors of the TBI plus stem cell transplant group, in relation to the comparison group, in order to inform a future targeted intervention to reduce risk.

    Measured: within 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Leukemia and Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site 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 13 inclusion and 16 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 7 Dec 2020. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Explore whether visceral adipose tissue is significantly higher in women who were treated with total body irradiation (TBI) plus stem cell transplant in comparison with women who were not (time frame: within 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00510315, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2020.
