Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine the cumulative incidence of invasive fungal disease (IFD) in patients given posaconazole tablet as primary prophylaxis at the start of admission for immunosuppressive therapy, chemotherapy or allogeneic RIC HSCT.;Secondary Objective: SECONDARY 1. To determine the cumulative incidence of IFD within treatment groups. 2. To measure trough plasma levels of posaconazole and correlate with the incidence of IFD 3. To determine the number of patients who received antifungal treatment 4. To determine if calcineurin inhibitors such as cyclosporine A or tacrolimus adversely affect the plasma posaconazole levels 5. To determine the clinical response to antifungal therapy 6. To determine the clinical performance of ß-D-glucan, galactomannan, bi (methylthio)gliotoxin and PCR diagnostic tests 7. To assess the risk factors (e.g. baseline CT abnormalities, baseline ILR2 and MCP1 levels, GVHD, prolonged monocytopenia, poor performance status) for IFD EXPLORATORY 1. To determine IFD incidence, number of patients on antifungal prophylaxis and treatment beyond week 24 of the study 2. To determine overall survival 3.To determine the pharmaco-economics of IFD diagnosis and treatment;Primary end point(s): Cumulative incidence of IFD in all treatment groups (aplastic anaemia with IST, chemotherapy only, RIC allograft) assessed over 24 weeks from Day 1 of study entry;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Between day 1 and week 24 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1.Cumulative incidence of IFD within treatment groups (aplastic anaemia with IST, chemotherapy only, RIC allograft) assessed over 24 weeks from Day 1 of study entry 2.Trough plasma levels of posaconazole correlated with the incidence of IFD assessed over 24 weeks from Day 1 of study entry 3.The number of patients who received antifungal treatment assessed over 24 weeks from Day 1 of study entry 4.Whether calcineurin inhibitors such as cyclosporine A or tacrolimus adversely affect plasma posaconazole levels assessed over 24 weeks from Day 1 of study entry 5.Clinical response to antifungal therapy assessed over 24 weeks from Day 1 of study entry 6.Clinical performance of GM, BDG, bmGT and PCR assessed over 24 weeks from Day 1 of study entry 7.The risk factors (baseline CT abnormalities, baseline IL2R and MCP1 levels, GVHD, prolonged monocytopenia, poor performance status) for IFD assessed over 24 weeks from Day 1 of study entry Exploratory Endpoints 1.IFD incidence, number of patients on antifungal prophylaxis and treatment from 24 weeks until 12 months 2.Overall survival at 6, 9 and 12 months 3.Pharmaco-economics of IFD diagnosis and treatment assessed over 12 months ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary endpoints assessed between day 1 and week 24 Exploratory endpoints assessed at 12 months | — |
