Trial summary

Iron chelation, mostly associated with multiple red blood cell transfusion, is relatively common in patients with hematological malignancies receiving allo-HSCT. This multicenter prospective observational study is designed to establish the impact of iron chelation on relapse after allo-HSCT in patients with acute… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Multicenter Prospective Observational Study of the Outcome of Patients With Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) Receiving Iron Chelation Therapy (Exjade) After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (Allo-HSCT)

Iron chelation, mostly associated with multiple red blood cell transfusion, is relatively common in patients with hematological malignancies receiving allo-HSCT.

This multicenter prospective observational study is designed to establish the impact of iron chelation on relapse after allo-HSCT in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. The investigators will compare the results obtained in the prospective study to those observed in a historical retrospective cohort of paired patients who did not receive chelation. Given our clinical experience and literature results, the investigators will evaluate the Exjade chelator. Although not demonstrated, the presence of mutations of the HFE gene could play an indirect role on leukemogenesis by promoting overload. It is therefore important to evaluate the status in this patient population.

What participants receive

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

  • EXJADEDrug

    The patient having given his consent, will begin the Exjade at 10 mg / kg per day if the ferritin level reached 1000 ng / ml at 6 months after allograft, for a minimum duration of three months and up to 6 months. The iron parameters will be evaluated at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months after the beginning of the exjade treatment. The evaluation of the disease will be carried out according to the practices of the center. It is recommended to have a washout period of one week between stopping the ciclosporin and the beginning of treatment by exjade.

What is being measured

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

  1. Impact of iron chelation on relapse-free survival rate

    Relapse-free survival will be defined as the number of days between the date of diagnosis and the date of death and / or relapse (or censored at the end of follow-up).

    Measured: At 2 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Comparison of relapse-free survival after allograft of chelated patients to allografted patients not receiving chelation.

    Matching variables will include disease type (AML or MDS), prognostic factors (cytogenetics, molecular biology, age), donor type / matching, and type of conditioning.

    Measured: At 2-year

  2. Cumulative incidence of GVHD

    Acute and chronic GVHD date and maximum grade using international classification

    Measured: 3 months, 1 and 2 years

  3. Rate of infection

    during the observation period

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  4. Hematological toxicity during administration of Exjade

    Hemoglobin level; Current average frequency of transfusions

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  5. Non-hematological toxicity during administration of Exjade

    Ferritinemia

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  6. Non-hematological toxicity during administration of Exjade

    Transferrin

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon 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 5 inclusion and 8 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 6 Sep 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Mauricette MICHALLET, MD, PhD (33(0)478862220, mauricette.michallet@lyon.unicancer.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Impact of iron chelation on relapse-free survival rate (time frame: At 2 years). 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 6 Sep 2018.
