Cardiometabolic Status in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

August 21, 2014 updated by: University of Minnesota

Cardiometabolic Status in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, A Pilot Study

This is a prospective cohort study assessing measures of cardiometabolic status, body composition, IR and GH response to stimulation after therapy in children (age 7-21 years) treated for ALL. Patients and sibling controls will be recruited from the Pediatric Hematology-Oncology Clinic at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital.

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

This is a prospective cohort study with two groups: survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have recently completed therapy (cases) and healthy siblings (controls) frequency matched by age and sex. Subjects in each group will have two visits. For cases, the first visit will be approximately 6 months after completion of treatment for ALL; for their siblings, the first visit occur at approximately the same time. For both cases and controls, the second visit will be 2 to 2.5 years after the first visit.

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

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

7 years to 21 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Study entry is open to patients regardless of gender or ethnic background. While there will be every effort to seek out and include females and minority patients, the patient population is expected to be no different than the general pediatric oncology population seen at the participating institutions.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients

    • Age 7 years to less than or equal to 21 years at time of study enrollment.
    • Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as first cancer diagnosis and in first complete remission. Any subtype is eligible.
    • Study enrollment must take place at/after six months of completion of all chemotherapy.
    • Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1, or 2. Use Karnofsky for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky for patients ≤ 16 years of age.
    • Any prior ALL therapy is allowable.

  • Siblings

    • Age 7 years to less than or equal to 21 years at time of study enrollment.
    • Sibling of ALL patient.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients

    • Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus prior to ALL diagnosis or at time of study enrollment.
    • Current pregnancy
    • Prior hematopoietic cell transplant.
    • Receiving growth hormone replacement or corticosteroids at the time of enrollment.

  • Siblings

    • Previously diagnosed with malignancy.
    • Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
    • Current pregnancy
    • Receiving growth hormone replacement or corticosteroids at the time of enrollment.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Sibling Controls
Healthy siblings of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) subjects frequency matched by age and sex.
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Survivors
Survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who recently completed therapy.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Cardiometabolic Profile
Time Frame: up to 2.5-3 Years
To determine the cardiometabolic profile (as measured by a single score based on adiposity, serum lipids, and vascular function) shortly after therapy (6 months after completion of therapy [Visit 1]) and again 2.5-3 yrs after completion of therapy (Visit 2) in 300 ALL patients, and compare with 200 sibling controls.
up to 2.5-3 Years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Prevalence of Blunted Stimulated Growth Hormone Response
Time Frame: Between 2.5 and 3 Years
To determine the prevalence of blunted stimulated GH response suggesting GH deficiency (peak GH <7mcg/L) in ALL survivors and controls: GH level will be obtained at baseline, then +30, +60, +90 and +120 minutes after clonidine (5 mcg/kg up to 200 mcg by mouth), followed by infusion of arginine (0.5 grams/kg up to 30 grams) with a series of GH levels at +140, +160, +180, +210, and +240 minutes. Blunted response to GH stimulation will be defined as peak GH level<7 mcg/L.
Between 2.5 and 3 Years
