LCH in Adults: a Collaborative, Prospective-retrospective, Observational Study

Study Purpose

This is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, observational, no profit study including adult patients with LCH, diagnosed starting from January 2001 to two years after the first enrolled patient. Each patient will be followed up to one year after the last enrolled patient. Each patient will be followed up to one year after the last enrolled patient.This study plans to collect clinical information at the time of diagnosis and at various follow-ups to evaluate the efficacy of first-line therapies. Diagnostic and therapeutic data will be collected from routine clinical evaluations and laboratory and instrumental investigations carried out during clinical practice

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT04627090
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, observational, no profit study including adult patients with LCH, diagnosed starting from January 2001 to two years after the first enrolled patient. Data from patients, diagnosed from January 2001 to the date of patient enrolment, is considered retrospective, while data collected after patient enrolment, and up to two years after the first enrolled patient, is considered prospective. At least one year of follow-up is expected for each patient. Each patient will be followed up to one year after the last enrolled patient. This study plans to collect clinical information at the time of diagnosis and at various follow-ups to evaluate the efficacy of first-line therapies. Diagnostic and therapeutic data will be collected from routine clinical evaluations and laboratory and instrumental investigations carried out during clinical practice. A sub-cohort of patients with available biological data on somatic mutations of the RAF-MEK-ERK genes will also be evaluated.
