About this trial

This is an interventional screening trial for Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - 60 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Biopsy-proven diagnosis of a hematologic malignancy
  • Scheduled to undergo allogeneic SCT from a matched sibling donor or an unrelated donor who is 10/10 or 9/10 HLA match. Transplant eligibility is per standard and institutional criteria.
  • Age 18-60 years
  • Willing and able to provide informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Documented or reported contrast allergy
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) < 60
  • Deemed too sick by clinician to leave the floor for imaging
  • "Nothing-per-mouth" status for other clinical reasons

Inclusion of Women and Minorities

-Both men and women and members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of contrast related nephropathy
Contrast related nephropathy is defined as >25% increase in serum creatinine from baseline (day of CT) or 0.5 mg/dL increase in absolute value, within 48-72 hours of intravenous contrast administration. Assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.0. The proportion of patients who develop contrast nephropathy will be recorded.
Incidence of contrast allergic reaction
Assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 4.0. The proportion of patients who an allergic reaction will be recorded.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Correlation between CT risk scores and occurrence of acute GVHD
Images will be reviewed for presence of abnormal mucosal enhancement along the gastrointestinal tract including gallbladder and biliary system, bowel wall thickening, engorgement of vasa recta, mesenteric edema, mesenteric lymphadenopathy, bowel wall thickening, and periportal edema. Abnormal GI mucosal enhancement, if present, will be characterized by relative intensity (mild, moderate, severe), number of involved segments (single segment, two segments, or three segments or more), and location of involved segments. Other findings listed above will provide binary data. All data points will then be used for patient risk stratification for developing GvHD.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Contrast-enhanced abdominal CT will be performed 1-2 weeks after allogeneic stem cell transplant, and radiographic evidence of mucosal inflammation will be correlated with the subsequent development of acute graft versus host disease. The primary endpoint is the feasibility and safety of contrast-enhanced abdominal CT in the early post-transplant period, as defined by the risk of contrast-related nephropathy or allergic reaction.

CT scan with contrast
Arm Type
Experimental
Intervention Type
Radiation
Intervention Name(s)
Dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography
Other Intervention Name(s)
CT scan with contrast
Intervention Description
CT scan performed between Day +7 and Day +14.
Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
Ioversol
Other Intervention Name(s)
Optiray-350
Intervention Description
To optimize visualization of bowel mucosal, patient will be given 1350 ml, or as much as can be tolerated, of negative oral contrast to distend the small bowel one hour prior to scanning. A weight-based volume of Optiray-350 will be injected at a rate of 4 cc/sec followed by 50 cc of saline flush also at 4 cc/sec.
