Iron Overload Clinical Trial
Official title:
Identification of Risk Factors and Measures to Prevent Liver and Pancreas Complications in Pediatric Patients Undergoing a Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) is currently a standard procedure for a wide range of blood-oncological diseases and genetic disorders. Recent improvements in transplant technologies, infection prevention and graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) management procedures have significantly reduced the transplant-related mortality (TRM). However, approximately 50% of pediatric patients may develop liver dysfunction before HSCT and 74% to 85.5% after HSCT, with a TRM related to liver dysfunction reaching 46%. The liver and pancreas complications still remain too high for the difficulties and diagnostic inefficiencies and, consequently, for the lack of targeted and safer therapies. The diagnostic problems can be summarized in 3 major points: a) the histological examination of liver and pancreas parenchyma cannot be routinely performed because of the organ anatomy and the relative risk of the bioptic procedures; b) the lack of specific biomarkers or advanced imaging techniques appropriate for the diagnosis of HSCT complications; c) the multifactorial causes of organ complications, as well as drug toxicities, GVHD, siderosis, ductopenia (considered as an index of hepatic GVHD), the accumulation of potentially toxic substances favored by siderosis and ductopenia. In more than 50% of HSCT patients, siderosis and/or ductopenia may represent common pathological conditions. Furthermore, international guidelines issued by onco-hematology and transplantation scientific societies recommend a chelating treatment with deferasirox in all hematological and oncological patients undergoing an intense transfusion regimen. However, in the presence of siderosis and marked ductopenia, patients receiving deferasirox may experience both severe renal and hematological toxicities and lack of effectiveness of the chelating treatment. Therefore, the principal aim of the present retrospective study will be the evaluation of the transplant-related mortality (TRM) in patients requiring a chelation treatment according to the Italian guidelines in pediatric patients

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Transplant-related mortality (TRM) | TRM in SIO/SIO+D patients treated with deferasirox as per Italian guidelines | 0-24 months after transplant | |
Secondary | Post-HSCT liver and pancreatic complications | Incidence of post-HSCT liver and pancreatic complications in SIO/SIO+D patients treated with deferasirox as per Italian guidelines | 0-24 months after transplant | |
Secondary | Time to iron concentration normalization | The times required for the normalization of the Iron Concentration in SIO and SIO+D patients | 0-24 months after transplant | |
Secondary | Statistical analysis of risk factors for ductopenia | The correlation between ductopenia and potential risk factors will be investigated by uni- and multi-variate analyses. The following data will be included in the analyses as potential risk factors: chemo-radiotherapy regimens prior to HSCT (drugs and doses), number of blood transfusions | 0-24 months after transplant | |
Secondary | Minimum plasma concentrations of deferasirox | In SIO/SIO+D patients, a factorial analysis for mixed data and a nonlinear mixed effect modeling approach will be used to investigate plasma pharmacokinetics of deferasirox in terms of patients' exposure (minimum plasma concentration, Cmin) and to evaluate the effect of identified covariates on drug disposition. | 0-24 months after transplant | |
Secondary | Correlation of minimum plasma concentrations of deferasirox with drug tolerability | In SIO/SIO+D patients, uni- and multi-variate analyses will be adopted to assess the correlation of Cmin with treatment tolerability | 0-24 months after transplant |
