Study groups in NCT02313792
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PaliferminActive comparatorThe patients belong to this arm will be given palifermin, keratinocyte growth factor, in addition to the conventional supportive care for oral mucositis. Palifermin will be given at a dose of 60 mcg/kg for 3 days before commencement of the preparative regimen and for 3 days after stem cell infusion
Receives: Drug: Palifermin
Normal salinePlacebo comparatorThe patients belong to this arm will be given normal saline as placebo plus conventional supportive care for oral mucositis. Normal saline will be given at the same volume and schedule with the study drug.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of severe oral mucositis after stem cell transplantation

    from onset of severe oral mucositis till resolution of the mucositis or 28 days after stem cell transplantation

    Measured: 5 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Incidence of severe oral mucositis after stem cell transplantation

    from onset of severe oral mucositis till resolution of the mucositis or 28 days after stem cell transplantation

    Measured: 5 weeks

  2. Average VAS score during severe oral mucositis

    from onset of severe oral mucositis till resolution of the mucositis or 28 days after stem cell transplantation

    Measured: 5 weeks

  3. Requirement of opioid drugs during severe oral mucositis

    from onset of severe oral mucositis till resolution of the mucositis or 28 days after stem cell transplantation

    Measured: 5 weeks

  4. Requirement of opioid drugs

    from onset of severe oral mucositis till resolution of the mucositis or 28 days after stem cell transplantation

    Measured: 5 weeks

  5. Cost effectiveness of palifermin during stem cell transplantation

    from admission for stem cell transplantation to discharge

    Measured: 5 weeks

  6. Quality of life during transplant period

    1 week before stem cell infusion to discharge

    Measured: 5 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Palifermin in people with Mucositis, run by The Catholic University of 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Dec 2014. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Duration of severe oral mucositis after stem cell transplantation (time frame: 5 weeks). 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 10 Dec 2014.
