About this study

Official title: Effect of Granulocyte-macrophage Stimulating Factor on Prevention and Treatment of Invasive Fungal Diseases in the Recipients of Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Phase 4 Trial

We conducted a prospective, multicenter, open-label randomized trial to compare the antifungal effect of Recombinant Human Granulocyte-macrophage Stimulating Factor (rhGM-CSF), Recombinant Human Granulocyte Stimulating Factor (rhG-CSF) or a combination of rhGM-CSF and rhG-CSF for neutropenic patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Read the detailed description

From Sept 2009 to Dec 2012, we recruited consecutive patients with hematological diseases undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation at 5 institutions in China. Recipients between ages of 14 to 60 years old were eligible. Eligible patients were randomized to receive once daily subcutaneous 5-7μg/kg/d GM-CSF (Molgramostim, TOPLEUCON®; Xiamen Amoytop Biotech Co., Ltd., China) (GM-CSF group), 5-7μg/kg/d G-CSF (G-CSF group), or a combination of 2-3μg/kg/d GM-CSF and 2-3μg/kg/d G-CSF each (G-CSF+GM-CSF group). Administration of CSFs was started on day 5 post-transplant and continued until recovery from neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] > 1.5×10(9)/L for 2 consecutive days). If absolute neutrophil count (ANC) decreased to < 1.5×10(9)/L within 5 days after withdrawal of CSFs, the same CSF would be resumed until the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) reached 1.5×10(9)/L again. All patients received antimicrobial prophylaxis with oral levofloxacin 500 mg daily and antifungal prophylaxis with oral fluconazole 200 mg daily.

    Hemorrhage related mortality after a median follow-up of 600 days

    Measured: 3-1099 days

  8. Infection Related Mortality

    Infection related mortality after a median follow-up of 600 days.

    Measured: 3~1099 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing rhGM-CSF group, rhG-CSF+rhGM-CSF group and rhG-CSF group in people with Mycoses, run by Xiamen Amoytop Biotech Co., Ltd. at 5 sites in China.

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 3 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 4 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Oct 2014). 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?

Incidences of Invasive Fungal Diseases (IFD) (time frame: 100 day post transplant). 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 NCT01232504, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Nov 2014.
