Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Blood samples will be taken from recipients immediately prior to commencement of the conditioning regimen, on the day of transplantation, and on post-transplant days 7, 14 and 21. In addition, for the subset of patients receiving busulphan, a total of 8 additional samples will be taken on days 1 (6 samples), 3 (1 sample) and 4(1 sample) of busulphan dosing.
Myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation will be performed according to standard institutional care and will include the following:
1. Conditioning regimen. Either cyclophosphamide (60mg/kg IV for 2 days) and busuphan (1mg/kg PO for 4 days); cyclophosphamide (60mg/kg IV for 2 days) and total body irradiation (total 12 Gray over 3 days); or fludarabine (30mg/m^2 IV for 5 days) and melphalan (140mg/m^2 for 1 day).
2. Infusion of allogeneic stem cells (matched sibling donor, matched unrelated donor, mismatched unrelated adult or cord blood donor)
3. Graft versus host disease prophylaxis (methotrexate 15mg/m^2 IV on day +1, 10mg/m^2 IV on days +3, +6 and +11) and cyclopsporine (commence day -1 at 1.5mg/kg IV twice daily).
4. Antimicrobial prophylaxis per institutional guideline

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 298338 0
To characterise, by serum assay, the changes occurring in the fibrinolytic systems associated with endothelial toxicity occurring after allogeneic HSCT
Timepoint [1] 298338 0
day of transplant and post transplant days 7, 14, and 21
Secondary outcome [1] 323894 0
To determine, via the prospective collection of clinical information, the incidences of clinical syndromes involving endothelial toxicity after allogeneic HSCT, including TA-TMA, SOS, IPS and early aGVHD.
Timepoint [1] 323894 0
Participants will be monitored daily for the development of these complications from the start of conditioning regimen until day 28 post transplantation
Secondary outcome [2] 324010 0
To determine, using serum assays, whether pre-existing laboratory evidence of complement abnormalities or hypofibrinolysis exists in individuals about to undergo allogeneic HSCT, and whether these correlate with the development of clinical complications (TA-TMA, SOS, IPS and early aGVHD).
Timepoint [2] 324010 0
At hospital admission (prior to commencing conditioning regimen) and daily until post-transplant day 28.
Secondary outcome [3] 324011 0
To determine whether complement activation occuring after allogeneic HSCT, as assessed by serum assay, differs significantly between recipients of TBI-based, busulphan-based, and reduced intensity conditioning regimens.
Timepoint [3] 324011 0
Day of transplant and post-transplant days 7, 14 and 21.
Secondary outcome [4] 324012 0
In recipients of conditioning regimens which include busulphan, to determine whether busulfan exposure is associated with laboratory markers of endothelial toxicity (von Willebrand factor, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 [PAI-1], schistocytes, platelet microparticles), .
Timepoint [4] 324012 0
Day of transplant and post-transplant days 7, 14 and 21.
Secondary outcome [5] 324097 0
To determine whether hypofibrinolysis occuring after allogeneic HSCT, as assessed by serum assay, differs significantly between recipients of TBI-based, busulphan-based, and reduced intensity conditioning regimens.
Timepoint [5] 324097 0
Day of transplant and post-transplant days 7, 14 and 21.
Secondary outcome [6] 324099 0
In recipients of conditioning regimens which include busulphan, to determine whether busulfan exposure is associated with laboratory markers of hypercoagulability (overall haemostatic potential [OHP] assay, thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor [TAFI], callibrated antithrombin time [CAT]).
Timepoint [6] 324099 0
Day of transplant and post-transplant days 7, 14 and 21.

Statistical methods / analysis
Formal sample size calculation was not performed for this observational, non-intervention study..

Baseline and longitudinal laboratory assays of endothelial toxicity, coagulation and fibrinolysis will be summarised using standard descriptive statistics. The association between markers of endothelial toxicity and coagulation and fibrinolysis over time will be investigated separately using simple regression analysis.

The cumulative incidences of TMA, SOS, IPS and early aGVHD at post-transplant day 28 will be calculated using death prior to day 60 (without TMA/SOS) as a competing risk. The influence of pre-transplant markers of endothelial toxicity and hypercoagulability on the clinical endpoints above will be measured using the method of Fine and Grey (univariate analysis). Recipient characteristics including liver function, pulmonary function, age, disease status and conditioning regimen will be also be examined on univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis will be performed by Cox regression and will include variables with p = 0.1 on univariate analysis.
