About this study
Official title: Probiotic Enteric Regimen For Easing Complications of Transplant : A Pilot Study (PERFECT Trial)
RATIONALE: Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus, may be effective in preventing infections in patients with suppressed immune systems.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and how well giving enteral nutrition, including Lactobacillus, works in preventing infections in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant for hematologic cancer or myelodysplastic syndrome.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- To determine if patients who are treated with a probiotic-containing diet develop infection with one of the probiotic microorganisms while undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for a hematologic malignancy or myelodysplastic syndrome.
OUTLINE: Patients receive oral Lactobacillus rhamosus GG (Culturelle DS) once daily beginning when blood counts have recovered without filgrastim (G-CSF) or sargramostim (GM-CSF) support for 3 consecutive days and continuing for 1 year after transplantation.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG in people with Breast Cancer and Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders, run by Rutgers, The State University 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2017. 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 was stopped early (reason given: slow accrual). Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Safety as indicated by the lack of infection attributable to probiotic organisms (time frame: 3 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 3 Feb 2017.
