Trial summary

Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a multisystem disease with diverse manifestations, including progressive neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, respiratory disease, and genomic instability. One of the most important features of A-T is the increased predisposition to cancer, especially to lymphoid malignancies. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Treatment of Leukemia and Lymphoma in Children With Ataxia Telangiectasia- A Retrospective Study

Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a multisystem disease with diverse manifestations, including progressive neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, respiratory disease, and genomic instability. One of the most important features of A-T is the increased predisposition to cancer, especially to lymphoid malignancies. Patients with A-T are generally excluded from collaborative clinical trials, their treatment outcomes and toxicity profiles have rarely been reported, and little is currently known concerning the treatment intensity required to provide a reasonable balance between efficacy and toxicity. The aims of this study are to build a large international de-identified database of children with A-T treated for leukemia and lymphoma, to investigate epidemiology and outcome of treatment, toxicity profiles and risk factors which impact outcome, in order to eventually enable the generation of data-based treatment recommendations for this population.

Read the detailed description

Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is a multisystem disease with diverse manifestations, including progressive neurodegeneration, immunodeficiency, respiratory disease, and genomic instability. A-T is caused by biallelic mutations in the ATM gene, a major activator of the cellular response to DNA double strand breaks. One of the most important features of A-T is the increased predisposition to cancer. Lymphoid malignancies represent the majority of cancers. The treatment of cancer in children with A-T is extremely challenging, due to severe co-morbidities and a significantly increased risk of cancer therapy-related toxicities. Patients with A-T are generally excluded from collaborative clinical trials, their treatment outcomes and toxicity profiles have rarely been reported, and little is currently known concerning the treatment intensity required to provide a reasonable balance between efficacy and toxicity. The optimal treatment approach is controversial; some advocate treatment by standard chemotherapeutic protocols, while others advise initial protocol modifications with chemotherapy dose reductions. Due to the rarity of this disorder, there is an unmet need for an international collaboration for data collection concerning treatment, toxicity and outcome in children with cancer and A-T. Data will be collected from patient files, including patient characteristics and history, AT manifestations, malignancy characteristics, treatment, chemotherapy doses, treatment response, toxicity and outcome.

The aims of the study are to build a large international de-identified database of children with A-T treated for leukemia and lymphoma, to investigate epidemiology and outcome of treatment, toxicity profiles and risk factors which impact outcome, in order to eventually enable the generation of data-based treatment recommendations for this population.

This study will not involve the use of specimens or participant contact. All the data required have already been collected during the treatment of the participants, and is available in patient records.

  2. Overall survival

    Assess 5 and 3-year overall survival

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Cumulative incidence of relapse

    Assess 5-year cumulative incidence of leukemia/lymphoma relapse

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Cumulative incidence of treatment-related mortality

    Assess 2-year cumulative incidence of treatment-related mortality

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Cumulative incidence of second malignancies

    Assess 5-year cumulative incidence of second malignancies

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Cause and timing of death

    Determine cause of death and timing of death in relation to specific elements of leukemia/lymphoma therapy (by questionnaire)

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ataxia Telangiectasia and Leukemia, run by Rabin Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 1 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 1 Oct 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 Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Sarah Elitzur, MD (97239253669, sarhae@clalit.org.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Event-free survival (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 5 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 1 Oct 2021.
