Imaging Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial OXPHOS Activity In Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Survivors


Sponsor

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

Enrollment

60 participants

Start Date

Jun 2, 2025

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The participants are being asked to take part in this trial, because the participant is a survivor of childhood cancer or agreed to be part of a volunteer group to understand the relation between cancer and cancer treatment and muscle weakness in survivors of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). ALL is cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Primary Objective • To compare muscle mtOXPHOS activity and satellite cell content among ALL survivors and controls. Secondary Objective * To evaluate the association between muscle mtOXPHOS, muscle satellite cell content and physical performance in ALL survivors. * To evaluate the association of muscle morphology and epigenetics with muscle mtOXPHOS in ALL survivors.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study uses advanced MRI imaging to measure how well the muscles' energy-producing units (mitochondria) work in adult survivors of childhood leukemia (ALL) who have low muscle mass. It aims to understand why some cancer survivors have muscle problems later in life. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You are a childhood ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) survivor enrolled in the SJLIFE long-term follow-up study, OR you are a healthy control participant in the same program - You have low muscle mass (based on a specific measurement) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You received cranial radiation as part of your cancer treatment (for survivor participants) - You have metal implants or devices that are incompatible with MRI - You are pregnant - You are taking blood thinners (such as aspirin, apixaban, warfarin, or rivaroxaban) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTMagnetic Resonance Imaging

Non-invasive MRI will be used to measure the major muscle groups in the calf muscle mtOXPHOS in childhood survivors of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in SJLIFE cohort and healthy controls and measure how muscle mitochondria produce energy to function.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTMagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Non-invasive MRS will be used to measure the major muscle groups in the calf muscle mtOXPHOS in childhood survivors of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in SJLIFE cohort and healthy controls and measure how muscle mitochondria produce energy to function.

OTHERPhysical function assessment

As part of the SJLIFE visit in the Human Performance Lab, the participant's physical health will be assessed by testing muscle strength, physical function, and lean muscle mass.

OTHERPeripheral blood sample

Peripheral blood sample will be used to evaluate muscle morphology, mitochondrial health and epigenetic differences in the muscles of survivors and age/sex-matched healthy controls.

OTHERSkeletal muscle biopsy

Muscle biopsy will be used to evaluate muscle morphology, mitochondrial health and epigenetic differences in muscles of survivors and age/sex-matched healthy controls.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTMuscle Ultrasound

Bilateral quadriceps and calf muscle ultrasound will be used to measure muscle volume by calculating the cross-sectional area using the Cavalieri method.
