Trial Outcomes & Findings for Sitagliptin for Prevention of Acute Graft Versus-Host Disease After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (NCT NCT02683525)

NCT ID: NCT02683525

Last Updated: 2021-01-22

Results Overview

Percent of patients and the 95% Confidence interval who did not have Grade II-IV Acute GvHD by 100 days following transplant. Since the study completed the two-phase design, proper inference was used to generate the confidence interval (Koyama and Chen). Only patients who were on the study for at least 100 days post transplant were included in the analysis.

Since the study completed the two-phase design, proper inference was used to generate the confidence interval (Koyama and Chen). Only patients who were on the study for at least 100 days post transplant were included in the analysis.

Timeframe: 100 days from transplant

Population: All patients who received a transplant

Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to conduct a competing risk analysis. Time until grade II-IV acute GvHD will be calculated from transplant until grade II-IV acute GvHD or death from GvHD. Patients who relapsed or died from causes other than GvHD will be considered a competing risk and calculated from time of transplant until relapse or death. Otherwise, patients will be censored and calculated from transplant until the last known alive date. The cumulative incidence percentage of grade II-IV acute GvHD at day +100 was calculated along with a 95% confidence interval.

Time to neutrophil engraftment will be analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method. The time to engraftment of neutrophils is defined as the time from day 0 to the date of the first of three consecutive days after transplantation during which the absolute neutrophils count (ANC) is at least 0.5 x109/l. Patients who did not have neutrophil engraftment before death will be censored at the date of death. The median and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.

Time to platelet engraftment will be analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method. The time to engraftment of platelets is defined as the time from day 0 to the first of seven consecutive Complete Blood Counts (CBCs) obtained on different days after transplantation during which the platelet count is at least 20 x109/l. The CBCs obtained should be at least seven days after the most recent platelet transfusion. The median and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.

Population: All patients who received a transplant.

Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to conduct a competing risk analysis. Time until non-relapse death will be calculated from transplant until death. Patients who died from relapse will be considered a competing risk and calculated from time of transplant until death. Otherwise, patients will be censored and calculated from transplant until the last known alive date. The cumulative incidence percentage of non-relapse mortality at day +365 was calculated along with a 95% confidence interval.

Patients surviving at least 100 days will be evaluable for chronic GvHD. The cumulative incidence of chronic GvHD (total, and mild, moderate, severe) will be described using deaths from causes other than chronic GvHD considered as a competing risk. Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to conduct a competing risk analysis. Time until chronic GvHD will be calculated from transplant until chronic GvHD or death from GvHD. Patients who relapsed or died from causes other than GvHD will be considered a competing risk and calculated from time of transplant until relapse or death. Otherwise, patients will be censored and calculated from transplant until the last known alive date. The cumulative incidence percentage at 1 year will calculated along with a 95% confidence interval.
