Trial summary

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is the most prevalent leukemia in the Western Hemisphere, accounting for ~25% of all leukemia's. It represents a monoclonal expansion of small, long-lived, apparently slowly dividing CD5+ B cells. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Who may be able to join

  • Must be 18 years of age.
  • Must meet the clinical and laboratory criteria for B-CLL (i.e., compatible clinical history and physical exam, presence of lymphocytosis, i.e., >10,000 lymphocytes / mm3, evidence for a monoclonal population of CD5+/CD19+/CD23+ cells in the periphery that have dim surface membrane lg with L chain isotype restriction).
  • All patients will be staged according to the system of Rai. Only new onset patients who are not receiving therapy will be entered into the heavy water leukemic cell turnover studies.

Who cannot join

  • Patients hospitalized for an acute medical problem, related or not to their leukemia, within 4 weeks of enrollment.
  • A history of a second malignancy involving the hematopoietic system, or the need for extensive chemotherapy for any second malignancy; patients with active immunologic disorders (e.g., HIV and AIDS), especially autoimmune problems (e.g., autoimmune hemolytic anemia of any cause other than B-CLL).
  • Patients with impaired decision-making capabilities, e.g. dementia, psychosis, alcoholism, and illicit drug use will also be excluded.

About this study

Official title: Direct Measurement of Leukemic Cell Turnover (Synthesis and Removal) in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Using Deuterated Water (GAC 0004)

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is the most prevalent leukemia in the Western Hemisphere, accounting for ~25% of all leukemia's. It represents a monoclonal expansion of small, long-lived, apparently slowly dividing CD5+ B cells. Because of the low proliferative index and a presumed uniform proliferative rate of B-CLL cells in vivo (a fact not yet tested or documented), B-CLL appears to be primarily a disease of accumulation rather than proliferation.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is the most prevalent leukemia in the Western Hemisphere, accounting for ~25% of all leukemia's. It represents a monoclonal expansion of small, long-lived, apparently slowly dividing CD5+ B cells. Because of the low proliferative index and a presumed uniform proliferative rate of B-CLL cells in vivo (a fact not yet tested or documented), B-CLL appears to be primarily a disease of accumulation rather than proliferation.

B-CLL remains an incurable illness and there is no survival benefit to early intervention.

Therefore, patients with early stage disease are usually followed closely without initiating treatment. Patients with more extensive disease or progressive cytopenias are eventually treated with cytotoxic agents, with or without prednisone, or with nucleoside analogues that promote apoptosis in the leukemic cells. The clinical outcome of the disease is determined both by the profound dysregulation of the immune system that results in infection and autoimmunity and by leukemic infiltration and destruction of organs. Autoimmune phenomena are common and frequently directed against hematopoietic cells, resulting in autoimmune hemolytic anemia (10-25%) or immune thrombocytopenia.

What is being measured

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

  1. B Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Subgroups: Direct measurement of leukemic cell turnover (synthesis and removal) using deuterated water as a DNA-labeling agent in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia

    We believe that the results of these studies may identify in vivo correlates of the in vitro studies we have performed previously. Kinetic analyses may be another way to identify patients with different levels of risk from this disease and thereby provide an additional prognostic parameter. This information may also help to individualize future therapies for specific patients based on the in vivo biology in their particular B-CLL clone.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by Northwell Health 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 2 Mar 2021. 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?

B Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Subgroups: Direct measurement of leukemic cell turnover (synthesis and removal) using deuterated water as a DNA-labeling agent in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (time frame: 1 year). 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 2 Mar 2021.
