About this study

Official title: The Compatibility of Nivestim™ Under Cytotoxic Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Malignant Diseases

The purpose of this study is to observe the tolerability, safety and efficacy of preventative treatment using Nivestim™ in patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy for cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a non-interventional, descriptive, national, multi-site, longitudinal and prospective observational study with in-patients adults or minors undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy, being treated prophylactically with Nivestim™ in order to reduce the duration of neutropenia and to reduce the incidence of chemotherapy-induced Febrile neutropenia (FN).

Keywords
cytotoxic chemotherapy, G-CSF, Solid tumour, Malignant haematological tumour

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of hospitalisation due to febrile neutropenia and/or infection

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Characterisation of patients being treated with Nivestim™

    Characterisation of patient based on:

    • Socio-demographic data
    • previous medical history (Surgical and therapeutic)
    • Tumour data
    • Chemotherapy data
    • Clinical and laboratory data preceding treatment with Nivestim™

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Treatment with Nivestim™ as part of daily routine

    • Therapeutic indication
    • Dosage and mode of administration
    • Duration of treatment (planned and carried through)
    • Delay in start of treatment since last chemotherapy for purposes of prophylaxis
    • Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) during study.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Description of the efficacy of treatment with Nivestim™

    Description of the efficacy of treatment with Nivestim(TM) which includes the following parameters:

    • Duration of neutropenia
    • Incidence of febrile neutropenia
    • Frequency of infection
    • Delay in chemotherapy cycles due to neutropenia
    • Reduction in chemotherapy doses due to neutropenia
    • Assessment of patient

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Detailed description of tolerability and safety

    • Hospitalisation
    • Adverse events

    Measured: 6 months

  5. Description of the characteristics of the participating physicians

    Socio-demographic data (age, gender, field of specialisation, structure of practice, title)

    Measured: During the study initiation visit

  6. Prescription routine of G-CSF (Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Solid Tumour and Malignant Haematological Tumour, run by Hospira, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 48 sites in Germany.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 48 sites in Germany. 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 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?

Incidence of hospitalisation due to febrile neutropenia and/or infection (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01627990, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Jul 2015.
