About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of TULY in Prevention and Treatment of Malignancy-associated Hyperuricemia

This study is a prospective, open-label, multicentre study. Hundred eligible patients with stage III or IV non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with a peripheral white blood cell (WBC) count of > 25,000/µL or any leukemia or lymphoma with plasma uric acid level of at least 8 mg/dL will be treated with rasburicase 0.20 mg/kg body weight intravenously for 4 days. The primary endpoints viz., the percentage of reduction in plasma uric acid at 4 hrs after uric acid-lowering therapy, plasma uric acid AUC 0-96 hr and incidence of adverse events will be assessed during 11 days study period.

Read the detailed description

All eligible patients will be treated with rasburicase 0.20 mg/kg body weight intravenously for 4 days. The primary endpoints viz., the percentage of reduction in plasma uric acid at 4 hrs after uric acid-lowering therapy, plasma uric acid AUC 0-96 hr and incidence of adverse events will be assessed during 11 days study period.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of reduction in plasma uric acid at 4 hrs after uric acid-lowering therapy

    Measured: At the end of 4 hrs after initiation of uric acid lowering therapy; during 96 hrs of uric acid lowering therapy; Adverse events during the entire study period

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Plasma uric acid AUC 0-96 hr

    Measured: At the end of 4 hrs after initiation of uric acid lowering therapy; during 96 hrs of uric acid lowering therapy; Adverse events during the entire study period

  2. Incidence of adverse events

    Measured: At the end of 4 hrs after initiation of uric acid lowering therapy; during 96 hrs of uric acid lowering therapy; Adverse events during the entire study period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TULY in people with Hyperuricemia, run by Virchow Group at 1 site in India.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of reduction in plasma uric acid at 4 hrs after uric acid-lowering therapy (time frame: At the end of 4 hrs after initiation of uric acid lowering therapy; during 96 hrs of uric acid lowering therapy; Adverse events during the entire study period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Dec 2014.
