About this study

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Compare outcome, including graft failure, graft versus host disease, and survival of HLA-identical sibling bone marrow transplants for aplastic anemia using cyclophosphamide with or without antithymocyte globulin as a conditioning regimen.
Read the detailed description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to receive cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on days -5 to -2 with or without antithymocyte globulin IV over 4 hours.

All patients then receive bone marrow over 60-120 minutes on day 0, 36 hours after the last dose of cyclophosphamide.

Patients are followed at day 100, at 6 months, and at 1 year posttransplant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Anti-thymocyte globulin, Cyclophosphamide and Bone marrow transplantation in people with Aplastic Anemia, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 4 sites 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 12 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Graft failure, graft versus host disease, and survival (time frame: Measured at Day 100, Month 6, and Year 1 post-transplant). 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 12 Mar 2018.
