Trial summary

Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are at risk to develop severe infections whose invasive aspergillosis (IA). These infections are leading to an important morbidity and mortality. Antifungal prophylaxis is recommended by posaconazole for AML patients during neutropenia induced by induction chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Incidence of Invasive Aspergillosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are at risk to develop severe infections whose invasive aspergillosis (IA). These infections are leading to an important morbidity and mortality. Antifungal prophylaxis is recommended by posaconazole for AML patients during neutropenia induced by induction chemotherapy. Their application is not uniform.

Read the detailed description

Invasive aspergillosis are frequent infections in hematological malignancy in particular during neutropenia induced by chemotherapy. Their incidence ranged between 5 to 25% according to the literature. Mortality may reach 30%. Our study described IA incidence in AML patients treated by intensive chemotherapy depending on antifungal prophylaxis by posaconazole. From 2009 to 2011, any patients received antifungal prophylaxis. From 2012 to 2015, patients received posaconazole during induction and salvage chemotherapy. During the all study period, efficacy of posaconazole is evaluated according to construction/demolition periods in hospital. All patients are hospitalized in High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration system.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of invasive aspergillosis in acute myeloid leukemia

    Evaluation of annual incidence of invasive aspergillosis in acute myeloid leukemia treated by intensive chemotherapy between 2009 and 2015

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Efficiency of antifungal prophylaxis by posaconazole

    Comparison of two periods: 2009-2011 where patients had not antifungal prophylaxis and 2012-2015 where patients had antifungal prophylaxis by posaconazole during induction and salvage chemotherapy

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Impact of antifungal prophylaxis by posaconazole about construction/demolition periods

    Comparison of incidence of invasive aspergillosis while antifungal prophylaxis and construction/demolition periods

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Invasive Aspergillosis, run by University Hospital, Brest 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 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.

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 invasive aspergillosis in acute myeloid leukemia (time frame: 1 year). 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 14 Sep 2016.
