About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Gut Microbiota Evaluated by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing (mNGS) in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Receiving Standard Intensive Chemotherapy or Bcl-2 Inhibitor-based Targeted Induction Therapy

In this observational single-center cohort study, metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing (mNGS) will be used to investigate the features and changes of gut microbiota in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients during the treatment of two different induction therapy regimens [standard intensive chemotherapy (7+3) or bcl-2 inhibitor-based targeted therapy].

Read the detailed description

Infections remain one of the major complications during induction therapy of acute myelocytic leukemia (AML). Previous studies have shown that the variation of gut microbiota was an effective predictor for infection development of AML during induction therapy. A growing number of patients with AML received bcl-2 inhibitor-based targeted induction therapy. The investigators assume that there are different effects of bcl-2 inhibitor-based induction therapy on gut microbiota compared with standard intensive chemotherapy (7+3 regimen). Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing (mNGS) will be used to perform the investigation of gut microbiota in AML receiving two different induction therapies. And the relationships of gut microbiota with infection complication will be analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes in gut microbiota composition in patients with acute myeloid leukemia before, during and after induction therapy

    Sequencing DNA extracts from patients' feces to obtain the description of gut microbiota composition in those patients

    Measured: Day 0 i.e.: feces sampling is done at time of diagnosis before induction therapy

  2. Changes in metabolites composition of blood in patients with acute myeloid leukemia before, during and after induction therapy

    Metabolomics performed on patients' blood to report the metabolites composition in those patients

    Measured: Day 0 i.e.: blood sampling is done at time of diagnosis before induction therapy

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Changes in immune cells of blood in patients with acute myeloid leukemia before, during and after induction therapy

    Immunomicin performed on patients' blood to report the composition of immune cells in those patients

    Measured: Day 0 i.e.: blood sampling is done at time of diagnosis before induction therapy

  2. Changes of gut permeability markers and microbial compounds of blood in patients with acute myeloid leukemia before, during and after induction therapy

    ELISA (in pg/ml)

    Measured: Day 0 i.e.: blood sampling is done at time of diagnosis before induction therapy

  3. Infection rate during induction therapy

    Infection rate of patients with acute myeloid leukemia after two different induction therapy

    Measured: From date of first one cycle induction therapy start to the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days) or death from any cause during Cycle 1 induction therapy.

  4. Rate of complete remission

    Complete remission after one cycle of induction therapy

    Measured: From date of first one cycle induction therapy start to the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days) or death from any cause during Cycle 1 induction therapy.

  5. Changes in number of participants with treatment related-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    CTCAE (common terminology criteria for adverse event version 4)

    Measured: From date of first one cycle induction therapy start to the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 28 days) or death from any cause during Cycle 1 induction therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Adult, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University 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 8 inclusion and 9 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 17 Nov 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Suning Chen, professor (8613814881746, chensuning@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in gut microbiota composition in patients with acute myeloid leukemia before, during and after induction therapy (time frame: Day 0 i.e.: feces sampling is done at time of diagnosis before induction therapy). The study lists 2 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 17 Nov 2021.
