An observational study in Iron Overload, Hemosiderosis and Liver Diseases, sponsored by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris. Recruiting at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-27.
Sponsored by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris · Observational
This single-center, non interventional cohort study investigates whether chronic iron overload influences the incidence of liver complications in adults who are at least 10 years beyond allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo HSCT). Approximately 400-500 survivors transplanted at Hôpital Saint Louis between January 2004 and December 2014 will be evaluated. Transplant characteristics, prior iron overload therapy, and historical hepatic events will be collected through the Promise database. At the same time, the prospective visit will include laboratory panels and non invasive liver stiffness measurement by FibroScan or shear wave elastography. The study's primary objective is to assess the impact of iron overload on the incidence of hepatic complications in patients more than 10 years after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Secondary aims include describing the spectrum and frequency of hepatic complications, determining risk factors (including graft versus host disease, conditioning regimen, and comorbidities), and evaluating the long term effectiveness of previous iron reduction treatments (phlebotomy or chelation). Results will clarify whether monitoring and treating iron overload in long term allo HSCT survivors can prevent late hepatic morbidity.
Adults (>18 years) who received allo HSCT at Hôpital Saint Louis (2004/01/01 and 2014/12/31) and are alive and attending annual follow up ≥10 years post transplant.
Exclusion Criteria:
not in relapse of the hematological disease at the time of inclusion.
Adults transplanted at Hôpital Saint Louis (2004-2014) and alive ≥10 years post allo HSCT; evaluated once during routine annual follow up
Other: Cohort
Participants undergo one routine visit blood draw and non invasive liver stiffness measurement. Retrospective data are abstracted from medical records.
