Trial summary

Background: Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a form of bone marrow failure. It usually results from a cytotoxic T cell attack on the marrow stem cell. Two treatments can be used for most people with SAA. One is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The other is immunosuppressive treatment (IST). Read more about this study

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 2 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Relapsed SAA Subjects who had a repeat IST

  • This is a retrospective chart review. The investigators will review the medical records of adults and children with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) enrolled on immunosuppressive therapy (IST) treatment protocols in the NHLBI.

Patients who opted out of future use of data on their prior studies will be excluded from this study.

cytotoxic T cell attack on the marrow stem cell. Two treatments can be used for most people with SAA. One is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The other is immunosuppressive treatment (IST). For people who are treated with IST, relapse can occur. If this happens, they can have HSCT or be re-treated with IST. The two most common IST regimes used for relapsed SAA are rabbit ATG (rATG) and alemtuzumab. Both rATG and alemtuzumab have similar response rates and survival rates. There is not much long-term data on people who need repeat IST treatment due to relapse. Researchers want to look at data from past studies to learn more.

Objective:

To compare the data of relapsed SAA patients between those who received alemtuzumab versus rATG for repeat IST treatment.

Eligibility:

Adults and children with SAA who were enrolled on NHLBI protocol 12-H-0150, 06-H-0034, 05-H-0242, 03-H-0249, 03-H-0193, 00-H-0032, or 90-H-0146

Design:

This study uses data from past studies. The participants in those studies have allowed their data to be used in future research.

Researchers will review participants medical records. They will collect clinical data, such as notes, test results, and imaging scans. They will also collect the research data gathered as part of the original study.

Researchers will enter the data into an in-house database. It is password protected. All data will be kept in secure network drives or in secure sites.

Other studies may be added in the future....

Read the detailed description

Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a form of bone marrow failure and in most cases is the result of a cytotoxic T cell attack on the marrow stem cell. It is effectively treated in most patients with either immunosuppressive treatment (IST) or upfront allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). However, in patients who are treated with IST, relapse remains an issue with a rate of 30-40%. Once relapsed, patients can be either re-treated with IST or undergo HSCT. The two most common IST regimes used for relapsed SAA are rabbit ATG (rATG) and alemtuzumab. Both rATG and alemtuzumab have been shown to have a response rate of approximately 60% in relapsed patients with similar overall survival rates of 83-85%. Previous predictors of relapse include time from diagnosis to IST, and early response to IST. Few long-term data exist on patients requiring repeat IST treatment due to relapse.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of long-term outcomes of relapsed patients who received repeat IST

    Characteristics and outcomes of relapsed SAA patients between those who received alemtuzumab versus rATG for repeat IST

    Measured: Between the Period of 1990 to 2020

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinical predictors for the development of relapse

    Clinical predictors for the development of relapse such as age, gender, baseline laboratory values, time from diagnosis to initial treatment, and initial treatment received.

    Measured: Between the Period of 1990 to 2020

  2. Rates of clonal evolution between relapsed patients depending on type of IST received and number of IST rounds required

    Compare rates of clonal evolution between relapsed patients depending on type of IST received and number of IST rounds required.

    Measured: Between the Period of 1990 to 2020

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Severe Aplastic Anemia, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at 1 site 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?

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 16 Mar 2023. 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 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?

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?

Assessment of long-term outcomes of relapsed patients who received repeat IST (time frame: Between the Period of 1990 to 2020). 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 16 Mar 2023.
