What is being measured

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

  1. rate of event free survival

    calculate from the date of ASCT until the time of disease progression, relapse, or death

    Measured: from date of ASCT until the the time of disease progression, relapse, or death, whichever came first, assessed at least 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. rate of event free survival

    calculate from the date of ASCT until the time of death from any causes

    Measured: at least 2 years

  2. rate of regimen related toxicity

    calculate toxicities

    Measured: up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Busulfan, Melphalan and Etoposide in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, run by Soonchunhyang University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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 4 Jan 2019. 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 South Korea. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

rate of event free survival (time frame: from date of ASCT until the the time of disease progression, relapse, or death, whichever came first, assessed at least 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 4 Jan 2019.
