Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Gait Parameters Study

April 14, 2023 updated by: Nancy Durben, Oregon Health and Science University

Temporal and Spatial Gait Parameters of Children Undergoing Treatment for and Surviving Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Lymphoblastic Lymphoma

This purpose of this study it to characterize the walking patterns of children diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)and Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (LL) at different times in the treatment protocol and after completion of treatment. Their walking patterns will be compared to children without ALL or LL to see if their walking patterns are different at specific times in their treatment program or up to 10 years after completion of their treatment. The investigators will gather data by observing how the child walks, runs, hops on one foot and climbs stairs and by recording walking patterns on a pressure sensitive mat. The investigators will compare this data to children without ALL and LL.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

Cases will be identified and referred by the primary oncologist or by the Childhood Cancer Survivorship team. When a possible subject has been identified they will be contacted via telephone or during a routine clinic visit to determine their interest in the study. Two hundred subjects will be recruited for participation with the goal of 5-10 subjects at each of the 14 times points across the treatment protocol and survivorship. These time points to include: at diagnosis, the start of consolidation therapy, the start of interim maintenance therapy, the start of delayed intensification therapy, Day 29 of delayed intensification therapy, the start of interim maintenance II therapy (if applicable), Day 1 of cycle 1,3,5 of maintenance therapy, end of therapy, and 1, 3, 5, and 10 years off therapy ( +/-1 year).

Clinical data will be collected from the medical record, roadmaps documenting cancer-directed therapy, direct patient interview and examination by the physical therapist during the study evaluation. Clinical data will include: Date of birth (to calculate age at diagnosis and current age); Gender; Race and Ethnicity; Primary cancer diagnosis; Date of Primary Cancer Diagnosis; Chemotherapeutic agents received (agent name, cumulative dose and date received); Radiation therapy (date received, site radiated, and dose delivered); Any other clinical conditions affecting musculoskeletal performance; Dates of previous PT; Pain score at the time of study participation. Height, weight, shoe size and leg length will be collected at time of study participation.

Subjects will complete a self report of the PedsQL™ Generic Core Scale and the parents will complete the parental report.

Observation gait assessment will include hopping on one foot, running and walking 30' and ascending/descending stairs.

Temporal spatial gait parameters will be recorded on the GaitRite mat

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

2 years to 27 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Children diagnosed with ALL or LL and are currently undergoing treatment for or have survived treatment and are no more than 10 years post completion of treatment

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age 2-27 years of age
  2. Diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma
  3. Currently undergoing treatment for ALL or LL or completed treatment for ALL or LL in the last 10 years.

Exclusion Criteria

  1. Relapsed ALL or LL
  2. Received a stem cell transplant, either autologous or allogeneic
  3. Non ambulatory status prior to diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
December 1, 2011

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
