Study population: IHCIS, 2005-2007. The Impact National Managed Care Benchmark Database™ (formally known as Integrated Healthcare Information Services - IHCIS - prior to its purchase by Ingenix, Inc and referred to as IHCIS within GSK) is a comprehensive, de-identified U.S. healthcare claims database that is representative of the non-elderly, insurance-carrying population in the U.S. The database contains inpatient/outpatient and pharmacy claims, lab results and enrollment information on over 82 million lives from 1997 to 2007. Over 75 percent of all patients in the database have both medical and pharmacy benefits and, on average, 23.4 months of enrollment/claims information; the annual attrition rate is roughly 15-25 percent. The data are collected from over 45 different healthcare plans serving members across nine census regions. The database is HIPAA compliant and features encrypted member and provider IDs.

Who may be able to join

  • Enrollment in IHCIS in 2006
  • At least one HEC or MEC claim in 2006

Who cannot join

  • HEC or MEC claim three months before first HEC/MEC claim - "wash-in" period (i.e. must be enrolled for three months prior to first HEC/MEC claim. For patients whose first HEC/MEC event is between January 1,2006 and March 31, 2006, enrollment criteria for inclusion in the study may extend as far back as October 1, 2005)
  • HEC or MEC claims prior to 45 days after last HEC or MEC claim - "wash-out" period. (For patients whose last claim in 2006 was seen after December 1, 2006 enrollment into 2007 to look for further treatment and the 45 day "wash-out" period will be required.)

About this study

Official title: Cardiovascular Events in Cancer Patients Receiving Highly Emetogenic or Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy

Describe cardiovascular events in a cancer population receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC).

Read the detailed description

Patients were not recruited for nor enrolled in this study. This study is a retrospective observational study. Data from medical records or insurance claims databases are anonymised and used to develop a patient cohort. All diagnoses and treatment are recorded in the course of routine medical practice.

What is being measured

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

  1. Calculate the frequency and percent of patients with selected cardiovascular and arterial thromboembolic events in the analysis period, stratifying by any use of aprepitant (Emend) during the analysis period.

    Measured: First day of first HEC/MEC cycle to 30 days past first day of last cycle

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vomiting and Cardiovascular Event, run by GlaxoSmithKline.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 May 2017. 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?

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?

Calculate the frequency and percent of patients with selected cardiovascular and arterial thromboembolic events in the analysis period, stratifying by any use of aprepitant (Emend) during the analysis period. (time frame: First day of first HEC/MEC cycle to 30 days past first day of last cycle). 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 24 May 2017.
