Trial summary

Infections due to post transplant immune deficiency are a major problem following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT), particularly in patients receiving cord blood transplant (CB). Duration of neutropenia is one of the most important risk factor for invasive fungal infection (IFI). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Antifungal Prophylaxis With Micafungin After Cord Blood Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

Infections due to post transplant immune deficiency are a major problem following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT), particularly in patients receiving cord blood transplant (CB). Duration of neutropenia is one of the most important risk factor for invasive fungal infection (IFI). In this setting, Micafungin has been approved for antifungal prophylaxis for patients undergoing Allo-SCT. In a randomized, double-blind, comparative, phase III trial, the overall efficacy of micafungin was superior to that of fluconazole as antifungal prophylaxis during the neutropenic phase after Allo-SCT. However, very few patients in this study received a CB transplant.

This is phase IIb, prospective, open-label, non-comparative study to assess the safety of micafungin when use in prevention of IFI in neutropenic patients receiving allo-SCT using CB as source of stem cells.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MicafunginDrug

    All patients meeting selection criteria will receive micafungin IV. Prophylaxis will start within 48 hours of the beginning of the transplant-related conditioning regimen until 5 days after recovery from neutropenia (ANC ≥ 500/µl), or occurrence of an IFI, or up to 42 days, or withdrawal for any reason (e.g. patient's or investigator's decision, development of intolerance, death), whichever come first

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety

    Safety assessed by the incidence and type of adverse events (AE) occurring during the course of prophylaxis treatment, AE related to study drug, AE leading to study drug discontinuation, and evolution of vital signs and biological parameters.

    Measured: 50 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of Invasive Fungal Infection

    Incidence of Invasive Fungal Infection (IFI) at the end of prophylaxis period and at the end of the 4-week follow-up period

    Measured: 50 days

  2. Incidence of fever of unknown origin

    Incidence of fever of unknown origin requiring empirical antifungal treatment during prophylaxis period

    Measured: 50 days

  3. Survival rate

    Survival rate and incidence of mortality related to IFI from the start of prophylaxis until the end of the 4-week follow-up period.

    Measured: 50 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Micafungin in people with Invasive Fungal Infection, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 9 inclusion and 8 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 20 May 2016. 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 France. 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 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.

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?

Safety (time frame: 50 days). 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 20 May 2016.
