About this study

Official title: The Metabolic Syndrome in Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).

RATIONALE: Gathering information about metabolic syndrome from young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia may help doctors learn more about the disease.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the metabolic syndrome in young patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the incidence and prevalence of the components of metabolic syndrome (e.g., obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance) in pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission.
  • To determine the trajectory of the onset of these components over a 1-year period in patients undergoing maintenance therapy.

Secondary

  • To identify potential associations between components of metabolic syndrome and fatigue, health-related quality of life, family history, nutrition, and physical activity.
  • To identify potential biomarkers that are associated with clinical features of metabolic syndrome.
  • To evaluate whether patients will show a decrease in IGF-1 levels.

OUTLINE: This is a two-part study. Patients are enrolled in either part 1 or part 2.

  • Part 1: Patients undergo physical exam measurements (e.g., body mass index, waist circumference, and blood pressure) at baseline (during maintenance course 1) and at 12 months (during maintenance course 5). Patients also undergo blood sample collection at baseline and at 12 months to measure laboratory markers (e.g., fasting lipid profile, fasting insulin and glucose, IGF-1, leptin, and adiponectin levels). Patients or their parents complete a family history questionnaire at baseline and questionnaires to assess physical activity, quality of life, nutritional intake, and fatigue at baseline and at 6 and 12 months.
  • Part 2: Patients or their parents complete a family history questionnaire at baseline.

What is being measured

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

  1. Development of components of metabolic syndrome as assessed by clinical measures (e.g., body mass index, waist circumference, and blood pressure) and laboratory measures (e.g., fasting lipid profile and fasting insulin and glucose)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Diet as assessed by the Food Frequency Questionnaire at baseline and at 6 and 12 months

  2. Family history as assessed by the Family History Questionnaire at baseline

  3. Health-related quality of life as assessed by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and the Pediatric Quality of Life Cancer Module at baseline and at 6 and 12 months

  4. Physical activity as assessed by the Godlin Leisure Time Activity Questionnaire at baseline and at 6 and 12 months

  5. Fatigue as assessed by the Pediatric Quality of Life Multidimensional Fatigue Survey at baseline and at 6 and 12 months

  6. IGF-1, leptin, and adiponectin levels as assessed at baseline and at 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fatigue and Leukemia, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center 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?

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 21 Apr 2017. 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?

Development of components of metabolic syndrome as assessed by clinical measures (e.g., body mass index, waist circumference, and blood pressure) and laboratory measures (e.g., fasting lipid profile and fasting insulin and glucose). 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 21 Apr 2017.
