Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Acute Leukemia
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02440178

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether prophylaxis with micafungin is effective in the induction chemotherapy for newly diagnosed acute leukemia patients.

Detailed Description

Medically fit patients with newly diagnosed acute leukemia received 50 mg micafungin intravenously once daily from the initiation of first induction chemotherapy to recovery of neutrophil count, suspected fungal infection, or unacceptable drug-related toxicity.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Proven/Probable/Possible Invasive Fungal Infectionthe day of 6 weeks after induction chemotherapy

proven fungal infection: proven by positive culture for fungus with symptoms and signs of a fungal infection probable fungal infection: direct or indirect detection (galactomannan antigen or serum β-D-glucan) with clinical and radiographic findings possible fungal infection: sufficient clinical evidence for fungal infection was present without mycological evidence

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survivalthe day of 12 weeks after induction chemotherapy

The survival of patients till 12 weeks after induction chemotherapy

Non-relapse MortalityThe day of 12 weeks after induction chemotherapy

The outcomes of non-relapse mortality: The incidence of death without a previous relapse or progression
