Trial summary

The age of patients' population is increasing every year, as the life expectancy. Thus, the incidence and prevalence of hematological cancers is increasing. In particular, acute leukemias and myelodisplastic syndromes are the most frequent diseases of the hematopoietic system. Read more about this study

About this study

The age of patients' population is increasing every year, as the life expectancy. Thus, the incidence and prevalence of hematological cancers is increasing. In particular, acute leukemias and myelodisplastic syndromes are the most frequent diseases of the hematopoietic system. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is the main therapeutic options for these diseases, and the number of allo-SCTs in the elderly is currently in progressive growth. This is partially due to the improvement of the allo-SCT procedure over the years, with the amelioration of donor selection, HLA typing, graft versus host disease (GVHD) and infections prophylaxis and treatment.

Nevertheless, there is still an unmet clinical need, represented by the lack of extensively and detailed outcome analysis of elderly patients addressed to allo-SCT. With this aim, we planned this retrospective analysis of allo-SCTs in patients older than 60 years, within the GITMO transplant activity of the last 17 years. This study will help us in designing future prospective trials, including a comprehensive geriatric assessment of frailty, in order to address to allo-SCT those elderly who have the highest probability to achieve the best long term outcome with the lowest transplant-related mortality and morbidity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Elderly Patients, run by Azienda Socio Sanitaria Territoriale degli Spedali Civili di Brescia at 1 site in Italy.

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 22 Jul 2021. 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 Italy. 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?

Overall Survival (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04469985, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Jul 2021.
