About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multicenter Observational Trial of a Therapeutic Platelet Transfusion Regimen for Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Consolidation Chemotherapy

Application of a therapeutic platelet transfusion Regimen in patients with acute myeloid leukemia in complete Remission (consolidation therapy)

Read the detailed description

For the participants a therapeutic regimen for platelet transfusions will be applied: for clinically stable patients platelet Transfusion will be given in case of bleeding WHO II° or higher, for clinically instable patients platelet transfusion will be given at the decretion of the attending physician.

Patients with sepsis, septic shock or infections with Infiltration of organs (e.g. invasive aspergillosis), plasmatic coagulation disorders or sudden or increasing headache with or without neurologic symptoms should receive prophylactic platelet Transfusion, if their platelet Count is less then 10/nl. Otherwise no prophylactic platelet Transfusion will be given irrespective of the actual platelet Count.

As Primary study endpoint The incidence of bleeding episodes WHO grade III an IV will be documented. The bleeding incidence will then be compared to a historic cohort.

Medical subject headings
Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, Thrombocytopenia

What is being measured

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

  1. Bleeding Grade III and IV (WHO)

    Measured: Patients will be followed for the phase of thrombocytopenia after chemotherapy, an expected average of about 14 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Thrombocytopenia, run by Klinikum Nürnberg at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Bleeding Grade III and IV (WHO) (time frame: Patients will be followed for the phase of thrombocytopenia after chemotherapy, an expected average of about 14 days.). 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 NCT02276651, which also lists 5 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.
