Feasibility and Acceptability of Remote Saliva Collection

2. listopadu 2026 aktualizováno: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the practicality and acceptability of collecting biological samples and health information from childhood survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and their siblings. Participants will provide saliva, blood, hair, and fingernail samples, complete questionnaires, and participate in sleep monitoring. The information collected will help researchers understand how cancer treatment and neighborhood conditions may affect stress hormones, inflammation, and long-term health.

Primary Objective

- To evaluate the feasibility of collecting multiple biological specimens, surveys, and sleep assessment among child and adolescent survivors of ALL and their siblings.

Detailní popis

Childhood survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can experience long-term health problems after cancer treatment. Researchers believe that stress-related biological processes and social factors, such as neighborhood socioeconomic conditions, may influence long-term health outcomes. However, it is not known whether collecting multiple biological samples over several days is practical for survivors and their families.

This feasibility and acceptability study will enroll survivors of childhood ALL, their siblings, and caregivers. Participants may complete study activities through a combination of in-person and remote procedures or through a fully remote option.

Participants will complete an enrollment visit, a baseline visit conducted either in person or remotely, and a telehealth reminder visit. Survivors and siblings will provide saliva, blood, hair, and fingernail samples. Saliva samples will be collected at home five times per day over three days. Participants will also wear a WatchPAT sleep monitoring device and complete morning and evening diaries during the saliva collection period. Questionnaires will assess demographic information, sleep, emotional well-being, family relationships, health behaviors, and other factors that may influence cortisol measurements. Caregivers will complete questionnaires about household and demographic characteristics and provide feedback regarding study acceptability.

Blood samples will be used to measure markers of inflammation and hormone function. Saliva, hair, and fingernail samples will be used to evaluate cortisol, a biological marker related to stress and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functioning. The study will also explore associations between neighborhood socioeconomic status and biological measures of cortisol and inflammation. Findings from this feasibility study will be used to inform the design of future research investigating the effects of cancer treatment and social environments on long-term health outcomes among childhood ALL survivors.
