About this study

Official title: Prospective Cohort Study of Perianal MBL-CRE Colonization and Infection in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

The goal of this observational study is to characterize the clinical features of metallo-β-lactamase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (MBL-CRE) colonization and subsequent infection in patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The study aims to estimate the incidence of perianal MBL-CRE colonization, the proportion of subsequent infections, the associated risk factors, mortality, and the underlying antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

The main questions this study seeks to answer are:

  1. What is the incidence of perianal MBL-CRE colonization following allogeneic HSCT?
  2. Among colonized patients, what proportion subsequently develop MBL-CRE infections?
  3. What are the risk factors for colonization and infection, the patterns of antimicrobial resistance, and the mortality among infected patients? Participants will undergo perianal swab screening for CRE as part of their routine post-transplant care. MBL-CRE isolates identified from perianal swabs will undergo antimicrobial resistance genomic analysis to investigate bacterial transmission dynamics and resistance mechanisms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of perianal MBL-CRE colonization.

    The proportion of patients who develop perianal colonization with metallo-β-lactamase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (MBL-CRE) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

    Measured: Within 100 days after allogeneic HSCT.

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Incidence of MBL-CRE Infection Among Colonized Patients.

    The proportion of patients with documented perianal MBL-CRE colonization who subsequently develop MBL-CRE clinical infection.

    Measured: From the time of colonization to 6 months after HSCT.

  2. Infection-Related Mortality.

    The proportion of patients with MBL-CRE infection who die due to infection-related causes within 28 days after onset of infection.

    Measured: 28 days after documented onset of MBL-CRE infection.

  3. All-Cause Mortality.

    The proportion of patients with MBL-CRE infection who die from any cause within 28 days after infection onset.

    Measured: 28 days after documented onset of MBL-CRE infection.

  4. Clinical Cure Rate

    The proportion of MBL-CRE-infected patients who achieve complete clinical resolution of infection-related signs and symptoms after treatment.

    Measured: 28 days (range: 25-31 days) after initiation of antimicrobial therapy

  5. Microbiological Eradication Rate.

    The proportion of infected patients with documented clearance of MBL-CRE from repeat culture specimens after treatment.

    Measured: 14 days (range: 11-17 days) and 28 days (range: 25-31 days) after initiation of antimicrobial therapy.

  6. Risk Factors for MBL-CRE Colonization and Infection

    Identification of clinical, demographic, and treatment-related variables associated with perianal MBL-CRE colonization and subsequent infection.

    Measured: From transplantation to 6 months post-transplant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ALLOGENEIC HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION and Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, run by Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, China.

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 1 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Incidence of perianal MBL-CRE colonization. (time frame: Within 100 days after allogeneic HSCT.). 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 7 Jan 2026.
