About this study

Official title: Clinical and Histological Evaluation of Chronic Graft-Versus Host Disease (cGVHD) in Oral Mucosa

Introduction: Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients submitted to the Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT). The oral manifestations can be very debilitating and interfere in the results of medical therapy, leading to systemic complications, committing the prognosis and quality of life of the patient.

The early diagnosis can be done through biopsies of oral mucosa with or without apparent injury clinic. The association between the clinical and histopathological tables of GVHD, especially through the use of recent consensus established in these areas, can bring new benefits to physicians.

Objective: This study aims to apply and compare the two classifications histological to GVHD, Horn (1995) and Consensus (2006) in specimens obtained from clinical oral lesions suggestive of GVHD; correlate them with clinical classification according Akpek (2001) and with the survival of the patients.

Read the detailed description

Methods: For this study we analyzed histological samples of oral mucosa of 10 patients with clinical diagnosis of GVHD, which have areas of epithelium, and salivary gland. The histopathological aspects were observed by the author of this work and his advisor, so blinded by applying the criteria for Horn and the Consensus. We consistency between the two classifications obtained and histological correlation with the clinical classification of GVHD (Akpek, 2001) and the curve of survival.

What is being measured

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

  1. The histological classification according Horn showed that in most cases there was presence of GVHD with low degrees of severity; Already classification of the Consensus showed that there were in full presence of GVHD of moderate degree.

    Measured: during the survey data, and analysis of specimens

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Graft-Versus-Host Disease, run by University of Sao Paulo.

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 12 May 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The histological classification according Horn showed that in most cases there was presence of GVHD with low degrees of severity; Already classification of the Consensus showed that there were in full presence of GVHD of moderate degree. (time frame: during the survey data, and analysis of specimens). 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 12 May 2009.
