What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of grade II-IV acute graft versus host disease

    Overall grade I graft-versus-host disease denoted stage 1 to 2 skin involvement with no liver or gut involvement. Overall grade II graft-versus-host disease denoted stage 3 skin involvement or stage 1 liver or gut involvement. Overall grade III graft-versus-host disease denoted stage 4 skin involvement or stage 2 to 4 liver or gut involvement without graft-versus-host disease as a major contributing cause of death. And Overall grade IV graft-versus-host disease denoted stage 4 skin involvement or stage 2 to 4 liver or gut involvement with graft-versus-host disease as a major contributing cause of death.

    Measured: day 100 post transplantation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. incidence of infection

    Fever would be categorized as fever occured before engraftment and after engraftment. If microbiologically documented, pathogen would be specified.

    Measured: day 100 post transplantation

  2. incidence of adverse drug reactions

    adverse drug reactions would be measured by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3. And for determinating the likelihood of whether an adverse drug reaction is actually due to the drug, Naranjo algorithm would be used

    Measured: day 100 post transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Tacrolimus, Cyclosporine and Methotrexate in people with Graft vs Host Disease, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 3 sites in South Korea.

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 7 inclusion and 3 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 22 Mar 2017. 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 South Korea. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 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 grade II-IV acute graft versus host disease (time frame: day 100 post transplantation). 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 22 Mar 2017.
