About this study

Official title: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Reactivation in Post-allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation(Allo-HSCT) Patients: Salvage and Prophylactic Treatments of Nilotinib

The purpose of this study is to determine whether nilotinib is effective in the prophylaxis and treatment of CMV reactivation in allo-HSCT patients.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine whether nilotinib is effective in the prophylaxis and treatment of CMV reactivation in allo-HSCT patients.

Prophylaxis Part: patients will be treated with nilotinib after their hemogram engraftment to prevent CMV reactivation Salvage Part: patients who have had intractable CMV reactivation after gancyclovir therapy will be treated with nilotinib

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing nilotinib in people with Patients Who Have Received Allo-HSCT, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 11 inclusion and 12 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 Sep 2018. 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 Taiwan. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

anti-CMV treatment free rate (time frame: 100 days after allo-HSCT (Day+100)). 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 NCT01252017, 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 12 Sep 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
