About this study

Official title: Effect of Periodontitis on the Risk of Bloodstream Infection During Intensive Chemotherapy in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This is a prospective, observational study to establish the connection between periodontitis and BSI in AML patients planning to receive intensive chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Once eligibility is confirmed, participants will undergo a specialized baseline periodontal examination, gingival sulcus microbiota sampling and saliva sample at baseline before starting chemotherapy.

Patients will be separated into 2 cohorts, with periodontitis (Arm A) and without periodontitis (Arm B). All patients will receive standard oncologic supportive care including antibiotic prophylaxis. Serum samples will be obtained at baseline, at the onset of neutropenic fever, and weekly until day 28 or discharge (whichever sooner).

Study participation will continue during the duration of standard of care chemotherapy for 28 days or until discharge from hospital, whichever later.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 2022. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: PI left and research was stopped). 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?

Number of participants with Blood stream infections (time frame: Day 28 of chemotherapy). 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 11 Apr 2022.
