About this study

This research study proposes to conduct an open label, feasibility study administering prophylactic oral haldol to patients undergoing a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT).

The study will address the following research aims: 1) To demonstrate the feasibility of enrolling HSCT patients in a prophylactic medication trial, 2) To determine the tolerability of oral haldol in HSCT patients and 2) To compare rates of delirium in HSCT patients who receive prophylactic haldol with an untreated historical control group.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label, safety \& feasibility, clinical drug trial. We will use historical controls from previous research with bone marrow transplant patients and delirium incidence at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) to evaluate the efficacy of prophylactic Haldol in the prevention of delirium. This study will recruit adult cancer patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) at UIHC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Side Effects and Tolerability of Haldol in Patients With Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

    Categorize and quantify adverse events from start of drug (day 1) to end of study drug per (CTCAE) version 4.0

    Measured: Daily, up to 14 days following transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Haldol in people with Stem Cell Transplant Complications and Delirium, run by Michelle Weckmann.

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 5 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 22 May 2018. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 22 May 2018). 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?

Side Effects and Tolerability of Haldol in Patients With Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (time frame: Daily, up to 14 days following transplant). 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 22 May 2018.
