  • DefibrotideDrug

  • Best Supportive CareOther

Study groups in NCT02851407
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
DefibrotideExperimentalDefibrotide is administered intravenously at a dose of 25 mg/kg/day in addition to best supportive care on the day before the first day of the conditioning regimen and will continue (for those patients without a VOD diagnosis) for a recommended minimum of 21 days and end no later than Day +30 post HSCT
Receives: Drug: Defibrotide
Best Supportive CareOtherBest supportive care alone (without the addition of defibrotide) according to institutional guidelines and patient need, is administered on the first day of conditioning and will continue until Day +30 post HSCT or hospital discharge, whichever is sooner, or diagnosis of VOD, if applicable
Receives: Other: Best Supportive Care

What is being measured

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

  1. Veno-occlusive Disease (VOD)-Free Survival by Day +30 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) Per the Independent Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EPAC)

    VOD-free survival is a composite of survival status and VOD occurrence as determined by modified Seattle criteria adjudicated by a blinded independent EPAC. An event is defined as a VOD diagnosis (as assessed by the EPAC) or death, whichever, is earlier, up to and including Day +30 post-HSCT. The values reported below are participants who did not experience VOD or death by Day +30 post-HSCT.

    Measured: Day +30 Post-HSCT

Secondary outcomes (36)
  1. Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD)-Free Survival by Day +100 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) Per the Independent Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EPAC)

    VOD-free survival is a composite of survival status and VOD occurrence as determined by modified Seattle criteria adjudicated by a blinded independent EPAC. An event is defined as a VOD diagnosis (as assessed by the EPAC) or death, whichever, is earlier, up to and including Day +100 post-HSCT. The values reported below are participants who did not experience VOD or death by Day +100 post-HSCT.

    Measured: Day +100 Post-HSCT

  2. Percentage of Participants With Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD) by Day +30 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)

    The number of participants who were diagnosed with VOD based on the Modified Seattle Criteria as per blinded EPAC assessment. The percentage was calculated out of the total number of participants in each arm of the study. The values reported below are the numbers and percentages of participants who experienced VOD by Day +30 post-HSCT.

    Measured: Day +30 Post-HSCT

  3. Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD)-Free Survival Rate by Day +180 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)

    VOD-free survival is a composite of survival status and VOD occurrence as determined by modified Seattle criteria. An event is defined as a VOD diagnosis or death, whichever, is earlier, up to and including Day +180 post-HSCT. The diagnosis of VOD through Day +100 post-HSCT was based on Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EPAC), and the diagnosis of VOD after Day +100 post-HSCT was based on investigator assessments. The values reported below are participants who did not experience VOD or death by Day +180 post-HSCT.

    Measured: Day +180 Post-HSCT

  4. Non-Relapse Mortality (NRM) for Defibrotide (DP) and Best Supportive Care (BSC) by Days +100 and +180 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)

    NRM is defined as death that occurs after HSCT in participants who were noted as having malignant primary disease on the disease history electronic case report form (eCRF) and do not have primary disease relapse post-HSCT.

    Measured: Days +100 and +180 Post-HSCT

  5. Percentage of Participants With Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD)-Associated Multi-Organ Dysfunction (MOD) by Days +30 and Days +100 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) in Patients Who Developed VOD

    VOD-associated MOD is defined for participants as occurring if the investigator answers "Yes" to the question "Has the participant been diagnosed with VOD associated MOD?" in the electronic case report form (eCRF). The values below are the number of participants who received the answer, "Yes."

    Measured: Days +30 and +100 Post-HSCT

  6. Percentage of Participants Who Had Resolution of Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD) by Day +180 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)

    The proportion of participants who had resolution of VOD by Day +180 post-HSCT is reported as a percentage.

    Measured: Day +180 Post-HSCT

  7. Time to Resolution of Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD) by Day +180 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)

    Time to Resolution of VOD is calculated as follows: Time to Resolution of VOD= [Date of VOD resolution] - [Date of VOD diagnosis by investigator].

    Measured: Day +180 Post-HSCT

  8. Percentage of Participants With Veno-Occlusive Disease (VOD) After Day +30 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) up to Days +100 and +180 Post-HSCT

    The values shown are the number and percentage of participants with VOD after day +30 post-HSCT and on or before Days +100 and +180 post-HSCT. The diagnosis of VOD through Day +100 post-HSCT was made by Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EPAC), and the diagnosis of VOD after Day +100 post-HSCT was based on investigator assessments.

    Measured: Days +100 and +180 Post-HSCT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Defibrotide in people with Veno-occlusive Disease, run by Jazz Pharmaceuticals at 114 sites in 14 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 11 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 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 114 sites in United States, Japan, Spain, Germany, Turkey (Türkiye) and 9 more countries. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Mar 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Veno-occlusive Disease (VOD)-Free Survival by Day +30 Post-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) Per the Independent Endpoint Adjudication Committee (EPAC) (time frame: Day +30 Post-HSCT). 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 NCT02851407, 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 2022.
