EBMT ADWP Prospective Non Interventional Study : AutoHSCT in SSc Patients

Completed
Conditions
Autoimmune Diseases
Interventions
Procedure: Autologous HSCT
Registration Number
NCT02516124
Lead Sponsor
European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell transplantation (AHSCT) for early severe or rapidly progressive Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) as currently performed by different study protocols used across Europe in various EBMT centres through the careful recording and analysis of routinely collected clinical and biological data.

Detailed Description

Different protocols are used in the different centres, it is not yet clear which approach will be the most efficient and the safest. Every centre will follow its own local protocol for AHSCT which usually refers to the recent update of the EBMT Guidelines for HSCT in autoimmune disease. Patient selection for AHSCT treatment technique with regard to the risk/benefit balance has to be carefully addressed by standard patient pretransplant evaluation, whereas treatment local regimen, follow-ups evaluation, supportive medication and prophylaxis will be recorded and analysed.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression free survival2 year post transplant

Progression free survival (PFS), defined as survival since Baseline (the 1st day of mobilisation) without evidence of progression of SSc.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety assessed by Treatment related toxicity throughout the study period using WHO toxicity parameters (expressed as maximum grade toxicity per organ system, see appendix)2 year post transplant

Incidence of Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SE) Neutrophil and platelet engraftment, defined as first day after transplantation with absolute neutrophil count \> 500 cells/μL and \>20.000 platelets/μL without platelet transfusion, respectively

Overall Survival2 year post transplant

Overall Survival

Response to treatmentat 1 year post transplant

Response to treatment within 1 year following autologous HSCT, defined as

* 25% improvement in mRSS (modified Rodnan Skin Score) and/or

* ≥10% improvement in Diffuse Capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) or Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) as compared to baseline without need of further immunosuppression

Improvement in Quality of life2 year post transplant

Assessed by SHAQ (Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire) evolution

Relapse incidence2 year post transplant

Defined as any of the following changes after prior response to treatment on quarterly follow up as defined below:

* Worsening of mRSS \> 25%

* New/Worsening of organ manifestation: lungs, heart or kidney

100-day Treatment related mortality100 days post transplant

any death during 100 day following transplant that cannot be attributed to progression or relapse of the disease
