About this study

Official title: Feasibility of Outpatient Induction Chemotherapy for Adult Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia or Advanced Myelodysplastic Syndrome

This pilot clinical trial studies the feasibility of having induction chemotherapy in an outpatient setting. Patients with acute leukemia (AML) or advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), at least 18 years of age will be examined. Treating eligible patients with induction chemotherapy in an outpatient setting may save in healthcare cost and improve a patients' quality of life.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

Assess the feasibility of outpatient induction therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) by examining whether:

  1. > 50% of patients treated as outpatients can complete chemotherapy without being admitted to hospital.
  2. < 5% of patients die within 14 days of beginning outpatient chemotherapy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive outpatient induction chemotherapy.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The study was monitored to assure that there was not an excess probability of admission to the hospital during receipt of outpatient chemotherapy or death within 14 days of initiating chemotherapy as assessed by Bayesian posterior probabilities using the "predictive probabilities" tool (MD Anderson Cancer Center Department of Statistics).

Stopping earlier would happen under 2 circumstances:

  1. Excess probability that patients required admission to hospital during the 4-7 days of outpatient chemotherapy (predictive probability be < 0.10, or 7 patients admitted and 3 not admitted among 10 patients enrolled versus the maximum acceptable rate of 4 patients admitted and 6 not admitted among 10 patients enrolled).
  2. Excess probability that patients die during the 14 days after beginning outpatient treatment (predictive probability be >0.90, for example in cases where there are 2 patient deaths within 14 days and less than 5 patients without deaths within 14 days, or in any case where there are 3 patient deaths within 14 days).

What participants receive

Study groups in NCT01807091
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Treatment (chemotherapy)ExperimentalParticipants received intensive initial or salvage induction chemotherapy regimens. These regimens would usually be administered in the inpatient setting, however participants received them outpatient. This study did not dictate the choice of induction chemotherapy regimen. The regimen was decided upon by patient and their treating oncologist and clinical care team. The induction chemotherapy regimens administrations spanned 4-7 days.
Receives: Drug: Chemotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Hospital Admission During Outpatient Induction Chemotherapy

    Feasibility for this study objective would be considered a "success" if >50% of patients treated as outpatients can complete chemotherapy without being admitted to hospital.

    Measured: During the 4-7 days of outpatient induction chemotherapy

  2. Death Within 14 Days of Initiating Outpatient Induction Chemotherapy

    Feasibility for this study objective would be considered a "success" if <5% of patients die within 14 days of beginning outpatient chemotherapy.

    Measured: During the 14 days after beginning outpatient induction treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Chemotherapy in people with Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Adult Myelodysplastic Syndrome, run by University of Washington at 9 sites 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 16 inclusion and 0 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 5 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites 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 5 Mar 2021). 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?

Rate of Hospital Admission During Outpatient Induction Chemotherapy (time frame: During the 4-7 days of outpatient induction chemotherapy). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Mar 2021.
