Study population: The study sample for this research will be recruited from participants in an institutionally funded cohort study, St. Jude Life, as well as from active ACT patients that meet eligibility criteria. The young adults in St. Jude Life are a highly motivated group who were followed in the After Completion of Therapy Clinic until age 18 years and a minimum of 10 years after their treatment ended if they were older than age 11 at the end of therapy. Potentially eligible comparison group participants will be recruited from the parent, older sibling, relative or friend population who accompany the ACT patient for follow-up at SJCRH. Parents (or siblings, relatives or friends who are 18 years or older) of children in remission, both from the active follow-up cohort (within five years of last treatment) and the After Completion of Therapy (ACT) cohort will be invited to complete the same assessments that the ALL survivor participants will complete.

About this study
Official title: Motor Proficiency And Physical Activity in Adult Survivors of Childhood ALL
The primary goal of this study is to provide comprehensive and objective information on impairments of musculoskeletal health, sensory function, and fitness among a large group of childhood ALL survivors, and to define high risk groups by assessing treatment factors that contribute to impaired function. This study includes a direct, objective evaluation of musculoskeletal function, sensory capacity, fitness, and physical activity patterns among adults who were treated for childhood ALL at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (SJCRH) between 1980 and 1999. Among 899 ALL survivors, all of whom are eligible for an institutionally funded clinical study of medical late effects, the study will recruit 364 to participate in our evaluations. The study will also recruit 364 individuals for a comparison group, frequency matching on race/ethnicity, age and gender.
Read the detailed description
The study will focus on the following primary objectives:
- Enumerate the prevalence of musculoskeletal, sensory, and fitness impairments among adult survivors of childhood ALL. The study hypothesizes that adult survivors of childhood ALL will have a higher prevalence of musculoskeletal, sensory and fitness impairments than a control group frequency matched on race/ethnicity, age, and gender.
- Evaluate the association between personal and treatment factors and musculoskeletal, sensory and fitness impairments. The study hypothesizes that:
- Female gender, younger age at diagnosis, and cranial radiation will be associated with decreased lean body mass.
- Female gender, younger age at diagnosis, and type of glucocorticoid (dexamethasone vs. prednisone) treatment will be associated with muscle weakness.
- Sensory loss will vary as a function of age, with participants diagnosed at 12+ years of age demonstrating vincristine related sensory loss, and those diagnosed at <12 years of age demonstrating dexamethasone and/or intrathecal methotrexate related sensory loss.
- Fitness impairments will be evident in participants who received 100 mg/m2+ of anthracyclines.
The study will focus on the secondary objectives:
- Compare physical activity patterns between adult survivors of childhood ALL and a frequency matched control group. The study hypothesizes that adult survivors of childhood ALL will demonstrate lower levels of physical activity as measured with an activity monitor (accelerometer), and will report lower levels of overall physical activity, when compared to members of the comparison group.
- Describe the association between habitual physical activity and energy expenditure among ALL survivors. The study hypothesizes that activity levels, measured with the accelerometer, will be positively correlated with energy expenditure, measured using the doubly labeled water technique.
- Explore the associations between musculoskeletal and sensory health, and physical activity patterns among adult survivors of childhood ALL. The study hypothesizes that adult survivors of childhood ALL with lower proportions of lean muscle mass and/or sensory loss indicating peripheral neuropathy will demonstrate the lowest levels of physical activity.

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?
Ascertain the prevalence of musculoskeletal, sensory, and fitness impairments among adult survivors of childhood ALL. (time frame: Day 1-2). 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 27 Aug 2015.
