About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of the Therapy Neurotoxicity Using Quantitative Assessment of the Brain Structures and Functions by MRI, EEG and Evoked Potentials in Patients With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Over 6 Years Old

The study is aimed at assessing changes in the brain of patients from 6 to 18 years old with a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia during chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia receive long-term combined chemotherapy treatment, one of the main part of this treatment is methotrexate. Methotrexate can cause acute, subacute, and long-term neurotoxicity. Clinical symptoms of neurotoxicity, such as seizures, aphasia, are often associated with leukoencephalopathy. However, leukoencephalopathy may develop asymptomatically in children receiving methotrexate.

The effect of chemotherapy on the neurological status of patients is widely covered in the literature. There are very few studies devoted to the quantitative assessment of MRI parameters, especially in children. MRI is a non-invasive method that does not harm the patient and can be used to assess absolutely all structures of the brain.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI in people with Acute Leukemia, run by Federal Research Institute of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology at 1 site in Russia.

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 5 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 30 Oct 2023. 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 Russia. 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 Nataliia f Kriventsova (+7 (495)2876570 ext. 4508, nataliya.krivencova@fccho-moscow.ru), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

percentage of the macromolecular proton fraction (MPF) in brain tissue. (time frame: Before the start of therapy). The study lists 4 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 30 Oct 2023.
