About this study

Official title: Prospective Assessment of Associations Between Pre-transplant Comorbidities and Post-transplant Toxicities and Quality of Life

We are interested in studying whether and how medical problems other than primary cancer before hematopoietic cell transplantation would impact the profiles of quality of life and toxicities post-transplantation for patients with blood cancers. We want to see if by assessing comorbidities (such as diabetes) early on, we can identify those patients who will have more toxicities or limitations in their quality of life after transplant. The generated information could set the stage for future intervention studies aiming to improve quality of life for patients with blood cancers after transplantation.

What is being measured

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

  1. The MD Anderson Symptom Inventory

    A 19-item instrument, it assesses physical symptoms and their interference with life.

    Measured: Change from Baseline in Symptoms at 3,6,12,and 24 months

  2. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Bone Marrow Transplant Scale

    A 49-item questionnaire measuring quality of life in bone marrow transplant patients, it measures physical, functional, social/family and emotional well-being in addition to bone marrow transplant-specific concerns.

    Measured: Change from Baseline in Symptoms at 3,6,12,and 24 months

  3. The EQ-5D

    This measure is used to measure utilities that can be used to calculate a quality adjusted survival score.

    Measured: Change from Baseline in Symptoms at 3,6,12,and 24 months

  4. The Social Activity Log

    This measure captures the frequency and diversity of social activities outside of daily responsibilities.

    Measured: Change from Baseline in Symptoms at 3,6,12,and 24 months

  5. ENRICHD Social Support Instrument

    This measures social support, including participation in social activities and perception of social support.

    Measured: Change from Baseline in Symptoms at 3,6,12,and 24 months

  6. The Cancer and Treatment Distress Scale

    This is a 25-item scale assessing distress related to perceived demands from events specific to cancer survivors.

    Measured: Change from Baseline in Symptoms at 3,6,12,and 24 months

  7. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9

    The PHQ-9 measures measures depression and parallels the nine diagnostic symptom criteria of the DSM-IV for Major Depressive Disorder.

    Measured: Change from Baseline in Symptoms at 3,6,12,and 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE)

    We will measure toxicities using the NCI CTCAE

    Measured: at 90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hematologic Malignancies and Other Diagnoses, Comorbidities, and Complications, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center 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 6 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 11 Jan 2018. 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?

The MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (time frame: Change from Baseline in Symptoms at 3,6,12,and 24 months). The study lists 7 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 11 Jan 2018.
