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.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Description of the project: The main objective of this prospective biological single center study (non interventional) is to identify non invasive biomarkers able to diagnose acute GVHD and/or predict outcome of patients with acute GVHD. The primary objective of the study is double: (1): to evaluate markers as diagnostic markers of GVHD (2): to evaluate the potential of the markers as risk factor for steroid-refractory acute GVHD occurrence. Secondary objectives are: -to evaluate the markers as risk factors for GVHD -to evaluate the potential of these markers as prognostic factors of 6-month non-relapse mortality in patients with acute GVHD-to evaluate the additional value of the biomarkers to predict GVHD or steroid-refractory GVHD as compared to other known and routinely used risk factors (clinical grading system, performance status, albuminemia...). Stools and blood will be on day 7, 14, 21, 28 after transplantation and the first day of digestive GVHD. Management of patients will not differ from the usual care. Fecal calprotectin and alpha 1 anti-trypsin, plasmatic RER3a, IL-8, Elafin, TNFaR1, IL-2R alpha, HGF will be measured at each points by ELISA tests. 315 patients would be sufficient to estimate the area under the ROC curve with a half-width of the 99% confidence interval of 0.05, assuming 60% of patients would develop acute GVHD, and normally distributed markers. The diagnosis and prognosis values will be analyzed separately.

Expected results: If some biomarkers are found significantly associated with diagnosis or prognosis of acute GVHD, they will be compared with the current clinical, biological and histological markers. Indeed, these markers have a clinical potential impact only if they give similar or better information than routine currently available markers, ie: clinical GVHD grading system, performance status, gut endoscopy and histology. The non-invasivity of these biomarkers should also be taken into account (in comparison to histology).

Identification of diagnostic markers will avoid useless treatment with high dose corticosteroids in patients without GVHD Identification of prognostic markers will comfort the decision of a second-line treatment sooner than usually, ie: at GVHD onset. Indeed, the onset of a second-line treatment after a steroid-refractory GVHD varies from 3 to 21 days depending on clinical evolution of patients. If some prognostic markers are available at diagnosis, delay in second-line treatment can be shortened and the patient can consequently have an increased chance to response to an early treatment.

Identification of prognostic markers will also guide the corticosteroids decrease in patients with good prognosis GVHD

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

14 years to 71 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

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.

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

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.
