About this study

B-acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy. Despite enhancement of childhood B-ALL outcome, relapses remain difficult to treat. Several studies in adult acute myeloid leukaemia have shown that proliferation of immunosuppressive cells -particularly T regulatory (Treg) cells and deficient natural killer (NK) cells- was associated with poor response to chemotherapy. However, few studies have been done on childhood ALL and none on relapse of B-ALL. Moreover, a newly described immunosuppressive B cells subset (Breg cells) seems to have a role in oncogenesis in mice model, but its significance has never been evaluated in human cancers. The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the immune status of children newly diagnosed with first relapse of B-cell ALL, and to compare results with those of children treated for B-ALL in complete remission. Classic lymphocytic phenotype, proportions of immunosuppressive cells (Treg cells, deficient NK cells, Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 and/or Programmed T cell death 1) and thymopoiesis will be evaluated. The investigators assume that increase of immunosuppressive cells proportions could be associated with B-ALL relapse.

Relapse GroupOther* Collection of blood samples will be done in newly diagnosed relapse of B-ALL children at the time of relapse diagnosis. * Children aged from 1 to 18 years at the time of first B-ALL relapse diagnosis.
Receives: Biological: Collection of blood samples
Control GroupOther* Collection of blood samples will be done at the same stage of treatment as the relapse group has been collected. * Children aged from 1 to 18 years enrolled into FRALLE (protocol of treatment) or EORTC (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer) treatment protocols, treated for B-ALL and who are in complete molecular remission. * These control patients will be recruited at the same time from the beginning of B-ALL treatment as paired-relapsed control patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure of Treg (CD4+,CD25+, Foxp3+) and deficient natural killer (NK) cells (CD3-,CD56+,NKp30-) proportions by FACS in children newly diagnosed with their first relapse of B-ALL.

    Comparison of the immune status of patients at the diagnosis of their first relapse diagnosis with those of children treated for B-ALL who are in complete remission and at the same stage of treatment.

    Measured: At the time of the inclusion.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Measure of the number of T CD4+ lymphocytes (Cluster of Differentiation 4), T CD8+ lymphocytes (Cluster of Differentiation 8), NK cells and Natural killer T (NKT) cells by FACS.

    Measured: At the time of the inclusion.

  2. Measure of percentage of TCD4+ naive and memory cells and TCD8+ naive and memory cells by FACS.

    Measured: At the time of the inclusion.

  3. Measure of percentage of gamma delta and alpha-bêta TCR CD3+ T cells by FACS.

    Measured: At the time of the inclusion.

  4. Measure of TRECs (T cell receptor excision circle) by QPCR and naïve CD4+CD45RA+CD31+ T cells by FACS.

    Measured: At the time of the inclusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Collection of blood samples in people with B Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Leukemia Relapse, run by University Hospital, Angers at 18 sites in France.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: recruitment difficulties). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Measure of Treg (CD4+,CD25+, Foxp3+) and deficient natural killer (NK) cells (CD3-,CD56+,NKp30-) proportions by FACS in children newly diagnosed with their first relapse of B-ALL. (time frame: At the time of the inclusion.). 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 3 Oct 2022.
