AMH as a Predictor of Infertility Risk in Children With Cancer (CHANCE)

Antimüllerian Hormone as a Predictor of Future Infertility Risk in Prepubertal/Pubertal Cancer Patients


Sponsor

Erasme University Hospital

Enrollment

275 participants

Start Date

Apr 1, 2014

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

While most of the children spontaneously recover menstruation or experienced normal puberty after chemotherapy, their ovarian reserve may be impaired by treatment inducing future infertility. Fertility preservation is currently proposed for selected prepubertal patients with a high risk of premature ovarian failure after treatment (mostly conditioning regimen for bone marrow transplantation). For patients with low or moderate risks, counselling is very difficult and no fertility preservation procedure is usually proposed for these patients as no marker of the ovarian reserve has been validated in this young population to assess the individual risk. The primary objective of the study is to prevent long-term treatment-related infertility by detecting the young patients who normally progressed to menarche but have a reduced ovarian reserve. These patients may benefit from particular follow-up and fertility preservation procedure.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is measuring levels of a hormone called AMH (anti-Mullerian hormone) in girls aged 3 to 14 with cancer, to see whether AMH can predict which children are at risk of fertility problems caused by cancer treatment such as chemotherapy, radiation, or bone marrow transplant. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a girl between 3 and 14 years old - You fall into one of three groups: (1) high risk — receiving bone marrow transplant preparation or pelvic radiation; (2) moderate/low risk — receiving chemotherapy for certain cancers (such as leukemia, neuroblastoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, or others); (3) control group — a patient with a chronic condition not receiving chemotherapy or other treatments that could harm the ovaries **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have received or are receiving radiation to the brain or have a brain tumor - You have a current or previous ovarian disease or ovarian surgery - There is a family history of premature ovarian failure unrelated to cancer treatment - You have a serious chronic condition that affects normal growth or puberty (such as Turner syndrome, untreated severe diabetes, severe kidney problems, or cystic fibrosis) - You have a genetic condition that causes intellectual disability Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
