Brief Summary

This clinical trial studies blood sample markers of reproductive hormones in assessing ovarian reserve in younger patients with newly diagnosed lymphomas. Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help measure the effect of curative therapy for lymphoma on ovarian failure.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Compare anti mullerian hormone (AMH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and estradiol (E2) between patients at baseline and cross section of controls and again between patients at 12 months off therapy and cross section of controls.

II. Describe the trajectory of AMH, FSH, and E2 from baseline to 12 months after completion of gonadotoxic cancer treatment.

III. Evaluate degree of change of AMH/FSH/E2 from baseline to end of therapy in patients.

IV. Evaluate degree of recovery of AMH/FSH/E2 from end of therapy to 12 months off therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Describe acute ovarian failure (AOF) prevalence 12 months post-therapy. II. Collect blood samples for future evaluation of drug metabolizing enzyme polymorphisms.

OUTLINE:

Patients complete a menstrual diary to document vaginal bleeding and undergo blood sample collection at baseline, the 3rd course of chemotherapy, at the end of chemotherapy, and at 6 and 12 months post-treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Comparison of the measures of ovarian reserve (AMH, FSH and E2) to that of health controlsUp to 12 months

Compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test or the two sample t-test after appropriate transformation. Analysis of covariance will be used to adjust these comparisons for covariates including age, race, dose of alkylating agent and use of hormone medications.

Degree of recovery of AMH, FSH, and E2 in the post-therapy phaseUp to 12 months

Generalized estimating equation (GEE) will be used to model the change as a function of time.

Degree of change in AMH, FSH, and E2 defined as the ratio of baseline minus end of therapy (EOT) measurement over baselineBaseline up to end of chemotherapy

Evaluated using Wilcoxon signed rank test or a paired t-test after appropriate normalizing transformation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Collect blood samples for future evaluation of drug metabolizing Describe number of samples enzyme polymorphismsAt enrollment (or diagnosis) and Day 5 post enrollment

Describe the number of samples collected.

Rate of AOFUp to 12 months

Describe the number of patients with AOF as measured at 12 months by an FSH \> 40 divided by the total population.
