About this study

Official title: The Effect of Chemotherapy on Regulatory T Cells in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

The investigators aimed to study the effect of chemotherapy on regulatory T cells (Tregs) in children with precursor B (PreB) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at 15 and 33 days of malignity directed therapy. The investigators will analyze peripheral and bone marrow blood samples of the participants, obtained at diagnosis, 15 and 33 days of treatment, about Treg / non Treg cells and interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-10, and transforming growth factor (TGF) beta levels. By this means, investigators will search response to chemotherapy. Also, investigators will analyze correlation between Treg population-Treg related cytokines with demographic, clinical and laboratory findings of the participants with ALL at these certain time points. Additionally, the investigators will compare Treg population and minimal residual disease at 15-33 days of malignity directed therapy. Also investigators will compare these Treg-Treg related cytokines obtained from the participants with ALL and a healthy children control group whom are voluntary donors for bone marrow transplantation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Peripheral and bone marrow samplingDiagnostic test

    We obtained blood from peripheral and bone marrow sampling. Then we analyze Treg population and Treg related cytokines with flow cytometry and ELISA methods.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in number of regulatory T-cells at 15 and 33th day during chemotherapy

    The number of regulatory T-cells is measured in fresh peripheral and bone marrow blood by flow cytometry.

    Measured: Baseline, 15 and 33th day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change from baseline IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and TGF-beta levels at 15 and 33th day during chemotherapy

    IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and TGF-beta levels are measured in frozen peripheral and bone marrow blood by ELISA.

    Measured: Baseline, 15 and 33th day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pre B ALL and Regulatory T Cell, run by Ankara Children's Health and Diseases Hematology and Oncology Training and Research Hospital.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Tekin Aksu, MD (00905459100389, tekinaksu@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change from baseline in number of regulatory T-cells at 15 and 33th day during chemotherapy (time frame: Baseline, 15 and 33th day). 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 29 Jan 2018.
