Trial summary

Anemia concerns a lot of patients with cancer and affects their quality of life (QOL). Numerous studies in oncology have demonstrated the benefit of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) in the treatment of anemia. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Observatory of the Prescription of Erythropoietin as Treatment of Anemia Induced by Chemotherapy or Allograft Conditioning Among the Patients With a Haematological Malignancy

Anemia concerns a lot of patients with cancer and affects their quality of life (QOL). Numerous studies in oncology have demonstrated the benefit of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) in the treatment of anemia. ESAs allow the improvement of QOL,of the hemoglobin level (Hb) and is a validated alternative to transfusion.

However, in hematology, if there are some specific recommendations for the use of ESAs in lymphoid pathology, there are none for myeloid disorders and in the context of autografts and allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). Thus, the investigators are in particular interested in both indications: treatment of anemia in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients treated with chemotherapy, and the in patients receiving a myeloablative or a non-myeloablative conditioning before allogeneic HSCT, whatever type of donor and cell source.

Read the detailed description

In this context, a prospective observatory was conducted from 2006 to 2009 in the hematology department of Prof. Michallet to assess the impact of prescribing ESAs (epoetin beta and darbepoetin) for these two distinct patient populations. A significant improvement in QOL during the six-month follow- up was observed in both groups. The effectiveness of the ESA on the red cell recovery and the reduction of red blood cell transfusions was established by comparing the evolution of Hb and transfusion needs of the population under ESA to a matched population. Moreover, no significant difference in the occurrence of thromboembolic events in survival and progression-free survival was observed between the ESA group and the control group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2016. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in the Haemoglobin level from the inclusion to the final visit (time frame: At Day 1 and Month 6). 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 9 Aug 2016.
