What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Neutrophil Engraftment

    Cumulative incidence of graft failure (neutrophil) by day 28 was reported. Patients who did not have neutrophil engraftment before death was considered as a competing risk. Failure to engraft was defined as lack of evidence of hematopoietic recovery (ANC <500/mm3 and platelet count < 20,000/mm3) by day +35, confirmed by a biopsy revealing a marrow cellularity < 5%. Graft failure was also defined as initial myeloid engraftment by day +35, documented to be of donor origin, followed by a drop in the ANC to < 500/mm3 for more than three days, independent of any myelosuppressive drugs, severe GVHD, CMV, or other infection.

    Measured: Transplant (Day 0) through Day +28

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Incidence of Acute (Grade II-IV) and Chronic Graft-vs-host Disease(GVHD)

    Acute GVHD is defined by the Przepiorka criteria, which stages the degree of organ involvement in the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal (GI) tract, based on severity, with Stage 1+ being least severe and stage 4+ being the most severe. Grading of acute GVHD is as follows: Grade II (skin involvement stages 1+ to 3+, liver 1+, GI tract 1+), Grade III (skin involvement stages 2+ to 3+, liver 1+, GI tract 2+ to 4+), Grade IV (skin involvement stages 4+, Liver 4+).

    Chronic GVHD is assessed by NIH consensus development project on criteria for clinical trials in chronic graft-versus-host disease: I. Diagnosis and staging working group report. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant. 2005; 11:945-56., for grading criteria. (See Citation: Filipovich AH et al)

    The incidence of patients with acute GVHD (Grade II-IV) was determined at 180 days. The incidence of Chronic GVHD by 2 years was reported

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Overall Survival- Percentage of Participants Who Survived at 2 Years and 5 Years

    We reported overall survival at 2 years and 5 years after transplant

    Measured: up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fludarabine-Melphalan & Rabbit antithymocyte globulin (r-ATG), Stem Cell Transplant and Stem Cells Collections in people with Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome, run by University of Chicago at 1 site in United States.

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 12 inclusion and 9 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 27 Jan 2021. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Oct 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Participants With Neutrophil Engraftment (time frame: Transplant (Day 0) through Day +28). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00943800, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Jan 2021.
