About this study

Official title: Dose Study of Antithymocyteglobulin in Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Acute Graft-versus-host Disease Prophylaxis

The purpose of this study is to compare the incidences of GVHD in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients receiving different dose of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) for acute graft-versus-host disease(aGVHD) prophylaxis. The investigators' first objective was to investigate the optimal dose of ATG for aGVHD.

Read the detailed description

Graft-versus-host diseases (GVHD) remains a major cause of morbility and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with grafts from an HLA-mismatched family donor. Antithymocyteglobulin (ATG) has been widely used to prevent acute GVHD (aGVHD) in haploidentical HSCT. Notwithstanding, immunosuppressive effect of ATG, which may also increase the risk of opportunistic infections, necessitates the use of the lowest possible dose. Till now, the optimal dose of ATG is not known. Here, the investigators compared the outcome of patients receiving haploidentical HSCT treated with two different doses of ATG.

What participants receive

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

  • ATGDrug

    ATG will be intravenously infused via a central venous catheter in 3 or 4 days, from day -4 or -3 until day 0. The other conditioning drugs administered before transplantation include cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C), busulfan (Bu),cyclophosphamide (Cy), Semustine(Me-CCNU), and ATG. All transplant recipients will receive cyclosporine A (CsA), mycophenolate mofetil(MMF), and short-term methotrexate for aGVHD prevention.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of acute GVHD

    Acute GVHD was graded according to standard criteria.

    Measured: 1 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Immune reconstitution

    Immune reconstitution is performed every 3 months after transplantation.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Survival

    Survival includes overall and disease-free survival within 2 years after transplantation.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ATG in people with Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, run by Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 31 Dec 2015. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ren Lin (+86-020-62787883, lansinglinren@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of acute GVHD (time frame: 1 years). 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 NCT02643589, 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 31 Dec 2015.
