Trial Outcomes & Findings for Preservation of Ovarian Function After Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (NCT NCT01343368)

NCT ID: NCT01343368

Last Updated: 2017-12-05

Results Overview

Comparison of treatment arms; interventional versus observational. Ovarian failure rate is based on FSH measured at 180 days after HCT; to determine the effect of GnRH agonists on the incidence of ovarian failure (i.e. FSH \>40 IU/L) after transplant.

Measure
Interventional - Received Leuprolide
Long-acting leuprolide 11.25 mg intramuscularly (IM) pre-HCT and 3 months post-HCT PLUS Short-acting leuprolide 0.2 mg subcutaneously (SQ) daily for 14 days for patients who undergo myeloablative allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation. Leuprolide: Long-acting leuprolide 11.25 mg intramuscularly (IM) pre-transplant (HCT) and 3 months post-HCT PLUS Short-acting leuprolide 0.2 mg subcutaneously (SQ) daily for 14 days hematopoietic cell transplant: Conventional bone marrow transplant regimen.
Observational Arm
Women undergoing reduced intensity allogeneic HCT will be observed. Progestin contraceptives, Norethindrone acetate, and any other hormone methods can be used according to the prescription guidelines except for GnRH agonists to suppress menses. reduced intensity allogeneic HCT: A reduced-intensity conditioning transplant is a bone marrow or cord blood transplant (also called a BMT) that uses less intense treatment to prepare for transplant than a standard transplant does. While a standard transplant uses the pre-transplant treatment to destroy most of the disease cells, a reduced-intensity transplant relies on the donor's immune cells to fight disease.

Observational Arm
n=10 participants at risk
Women undergoing reduced intensity allogeneic HCT will be observed. Progestin contraceptives, Norethindrone acetate, and any other hormone methods can be used according to the prescription guidelines except for GnRH agonists to suppress menses. reduced intensity allogeneic HCT: A reduced-intensity conditioning transplant is a bone marrow or cord blood transplant (also called a BMT) that uses less intense treatment to prepare for transplant than a standard transplant does. While a standard transplant uses the pre-transplant treatment to destroy most of the disease cells, a reduced-intensity transplant relies on the donor's immune cells to fight disease.
