About this study

Official title: Effects of Intensive Glycemic Control on Infectious Morbidity In Patients With Acute Leukemia

RATIONALE: Controlling blood sugar levels may be effective in preventing infections in patients receiving chemotherapy for acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase I trial is studying how well controlling blood sugar levels works in preventing infection in patients with acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine whether intensive glycemic control over an eight week time period will decrease the incidence of infections from initiation of chemotherapy treatment in patients with acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Secondary

  • To compare the number of episodes of infection.
  • To compare the duration of neutropenia.
  • To compare the number of days of bacteremia/fungemia.
  • To compare the number of days of fever.
  • To compare the duration of nutrition.
  • To compare the duration of mucositis.
  • To compare the duration of hospital stay.
  • To compare the duration of antibiotic use.
  • To compare the incidence of thromboembolic events.
  • To compare body weight changes.
  • To compare the median survival.
  • To compare the remission rate with induction or salvage chemotherapy.
  • To conduct comparative analysis between intervention and standard of care groups of mean daily capillary blood glucose monitoring.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I (intensive glycemic control): Patients with goal blood glucose 80-140 mg/dL receive the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital IV insulin infusion protocol to maintain blood glucoses in the target range. Beginning 24 hours after maintenance of oral or enteral feedings patients receive an intensive regimen of insulin glargine and insulin glulisine (Apidra™) subcutaneously for 4 weeks as needed. Patients may also receive insulin in the total parenteral nutrition (TPN) mixture.
  • Arm II (standard care control): Patients with goal blood glucose < 250 mg/dL are started on subcutaneous insulin sliding scale at the discretion of the treating physician with blood glucose monitoring and adjustment according to the insulin sliding scale. Insulin may also be added to TPN if needed at the investigator's discretion.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing insulin glargine recombinant and therapeutic insulin in people with Hyperglycemia and Leukemia, run by University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Aug 2013. 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.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 new infections (time frame: 4 years). 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 30 Aug 2013.
