Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation in Patients Undergoing Bone Marrow Transplant

NCT01735565 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 56286
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 23
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 3

Brief Summary

This is a prospective observational study to determine the point after bone marrow transplant in adults and children at which the neutrophils derived from the transplanted stem cells are competent to form functional neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Furthermore, given the importance of platelet function for NET formation, we also plan to examine platelet activation and function as well as the platelet transcriptome using the same clinical samples.

Conditions

Bone Marrow Transplant

Keywords

NET formation; neutraphil extracellular traps; post-engraftment immune system

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Post-engraftment maturation of NET formation

  The time to post-engraftment maturation of NET formation capability in PMNs isolated from pediatric and adult patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation will be measured by serial blood sampling/analysis over the course of a year after transplant.

  1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Post-engraftment platelet function

  1 year

Study Arms (1)

Post bone marrow transplant

Patients who are undergoing bone marrow transplant, as well as patients who have completed a bone marrow transplant within the previous year.

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients who are undergoing bone marrow transplant, as well as patients who have completed a bone marrow transplant within the previous year at Huntsman Cancer Institute and Primary Children's Medical Center will be identified as possible participants.

You may qualify if:

• Within one year of bone marrow transplant
• Informed consent

• University of Utah: lead
• Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD): collaborator
