About this study

Official title: Dapsone Induced Methemoglobinemia in Pediatric Hematologic Malignancy and Aplastic Anemia

RATIONALE: Gathering information about how often methemoglobinemia occurs in young patients receiving dapsone for hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia may help doctors learn more about the disease and plan the best treatment.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at methemoglobinemia in young patients with hematologic cancer or aplastic anemia treated with dapsone.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Define the incidence of methemoglobinemia in patients with hematologic malignancy or aplastic anemia who received dapsone prophylaxis through a retrospective chart review encompassing the last 15 years.
  • Identify major risk factors for developing methemoglobinemia.

OUTLINE: Medical charts are reviewed. Of particular interest is demographic information, reasons for beginning dapsone prophylaxis, duration of dapsone prophylaxis, dapsone dosing, methemoglobin level, and treatment with methylene blue.

Being tested
chemotherapy, dapsone, medical chart review, assessment of therapy complications

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders and Leukemia, run by Vanderbilt University at 2 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 17 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 2 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?

Incidence of methemoglobinemia in patients with hematologic malignancy or aplastic anemia who received dapsone prophylaxis through a retrospective chart review encompassing the last 15 years. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Apr 2017.
