About this study

Official title: Association Between Relative Telomere Length and Severity of Cardiac Dysfunction

Compelling epidemiological evidence indicates that alterations of relative telomere length (RTL) are associated with cardiac dysfunction caused by chemotherapy in children with acute leukemia (AL).The aim of this study was to explore association between RTL content in peripheral blood cells could be used as a risk predictor for severity of cardiac damage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relative telomere length

    The ratio of RTL to hemoglobin contents was calculated for each sample from standard curves. After that, the ratio for each sample was normalized to a calibrator DNA in order to standardize between different runs, and then defined as the measurement of relative mtDNA contents.Relative expression of mtDNA were measured in young adults suffered from AL.

    Measured: From date of admission until the date of discharging from hospital, assessed up to 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Toxicity and Acute Leukemia, run by Air Force Military Medical University, China at 1 site in China.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2020. 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 China. 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?

Relative telomere length (time frame: From date of admission until the date of discharging from hospital, assessed up to 5 days). 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 Jun 2020.
