About this study

Official title: Temporal Realistic Assessment of the Fungal Infection Incidence Across Canada for High Risk Subjects With Hematological Disease (TRAFIC)

This will be a retrospective study that includes retrospective chart reviews at major institutions across Canada. The intent of the study is to generate both regional and national incidence data for non-Candida invasive fungal infections (IFI) in high risk participants. The study will include participants receiving stem cell transplant and high dose chemotherapy treatment for leukemia.

    Health-care interventions will be recorded; no additional procedures outside the standard of care will be required.

Study groups in NCT01254318
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Participants at high risk for IFIParticipants will be considered high risk if they are undergoing high dose chemotherapy for leukemia. This includes, but is not limited to participants with acute myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome. Participants are also considered to be at high risk for IFI if they have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.
Receives: Other: Standard Care

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Non-Candida Invasive Fungal Infections at a Single Institution

    Data were extracted from participant hospital records from the time of initiating chemotherapy or conditioning regimen for their stem cell transplant (index date) until one year post-index date, in order to determine the percentage of high risk participants with non-Candida invasive fungal infections.

    Measured: 365 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Participants With a Specific Fungal Pathogen at a Single Institution

    Data were extracted from participant hospital records from the time of initiating chemotherapy or conditioning regimen for their stem cell transplant (index date) until one year post-index date, in order to determine the percentage of participants with a specific fungal pathogen.

    Measured: 365 days

  2. Percentage of Participants With Invasive Fungal Infections in Canada

    Data were to be extracted from participant hospital records from 5-9 centers across Canada starting from the time of initiating chemotherapy or conditioning regimen for their stem cell transplant (index date) until one year post-index date, in order to determine the percentage of high risk participants with non-Candida invasive fungal infections.

    Measured: 365 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mycoses and Leukemia, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 2 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 Nov 2016). 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 Non-Candida Invasive Fungal Infections at a Single Institution (time frame: 365 days). 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 2 Nov 2016.
