What is being measured

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

  1. Liver toxicity

    Liver toxicity, assessed as absolute serum values of ASAT, ALAT, GGT, Alkaline Phosphatase, bilirubin at day 30.

    Measured: Day 30

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. VOD

    Incidence and severity of "veno occlusive disease (VOD)" at day 30

    Measured: Day 30

  2. Acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD)

    Incidence and severity of acute GVHD, by organ (skin, liver, gut) at day 30 and day 100

    Measured: Day 30 and Day 100

  3. Toxicity

    Organ toxicity at day 30 and day 100

    Measured: Day 30 and Day 100

  4. Efficacy

    Survival, relapse and non-relapse mortality at day 30 and day 100

    Measured: Day 30 and Day 100

  5. Cumulative liver values

    Cumulative serum values of aspartate transaminase (ASAT), alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), Alkaline Phosphatase, bilirubin for days 0, 10, 20 and 30

    Measured: Day 0, 10, 20 and 30

  6. Maximum liver values

    Maximum serum values of ASAT, ALAT, GGT, alkaline phosphatase (AP), bilirubin at any time between day 0 and day 30

    Measured: Day 0, 10, 20 and 30

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Busulfan-Cyclophosphamide as Conditioning Regimen before Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Cyclophosphamide-Busulfan as Conditioning Regimen before Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in people with Myeloid Leukemia and Precursor Myeloid Neoplasms, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 3 sites in Switzerland.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 2 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 3 sites in Switzerland. 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?

Liver toxicity (time frame: Day 30). 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 NCT01779882, 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 2 Mar 2018.
