September 10, 2026 updated by: Sun Yuqian, Peking University People's Hospital

Geriatric Assessment (GA) for Elderly Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: a Prospective Study.

This comprehensive, multidimensional evaluation assesses patient-related factors, disease-related factors, donor-related factors, and treatment-related factors. The study aims to identify potential risk factors influencing transplant outcomes in elderly patients and enhance the outcomes of allo-HSCT.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This comprehensive, multidimensional evaluation assesses patient-related factors (e.g., age, physical function, and comorbidity index), disease-related factors (e.g., primary diagnosis and blast count), donor-related factors (e.g., donor age, sex, ABO, and type), and treatment-related factors (e.g., conditioning regimen, graft source, and GVHD prophylaxis). The study aims to identify potential risk factors influencing transplant outcomes in elderly patients, establish a comprehensive geriatric assessment model, and guide personalized pre-transplant treatment strategies to reduce transplant-related mortality (TRM). Ultimately, we hope this study could help enhance the outcomes of allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

Geriatric Assessment
Procedure: Geriatric Assessment
This is a study held in all patients undergoing allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Pre-transplant assessment: (1)Patients-related assessment: (a) Age; (b) Functional status (BADL score; IADL score; KPS score; ECOG PS score); (c) Comorbidities (HCT-CI score); (d) Nutritional Status (Body weight; BMI; NRS-2002; MNA-SF; MUST); (e) Psychological Status (SF36-MCS; GDS; PHQ-9; GAD-7); (f) Cognitive Function (MMSE; BMOC); (g) Social Support Level (MOS-SSS; MSPSS); (h) Total Number of Medications Used. (2) Disease-Related Factors Assessment: Primary Disease Diagnosis; ELN Risk Stratification (assessed only for AML patients); Disease Status. (3) Donor-Related Factors Assessment: Donor Age; Donor Sex; Donor-Recipient Blood Type Compatibility; Donor Type; DSA. (4) Treatment-Related Factors Assessment: Conditioning Regimen; GVHD Prophylaxis Regimen; Graft Type.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Transplant-related mortality
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Transplant-related mortality (TRM) is defined as death due to any transplantation-related cause other than disease relapse. Transplant-related mortality will be calculated using a competing risks model.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Engraftment
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Platelet engraftment was defined as the first of seven consecutive days with a platelet count >20 × 109/L without transfusion support. Neutrophil engraftment was defined as the first of three consecutive days with an ANC > 0.5 × 109/L.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
GVHD
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Acute GVHD was classified as symptom presentation before 100 days after haplo-HSCT and chronic GVHD was classified as symptom presentation >100 days after haplo-HSCT. Each organ (skin, liver, and gut) was staged 1 through 4 for Acute GVHD according to modified criteria based on the schema of the Mount Sinai Acute GVHD International Consortium (MAGIC), and patients were also assigned a grade of acute GVHD (I through IV) based on overall severity. Chronic GVHD was graded in accordance with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease Consensus Criteria.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Overall Survival
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
The time from haplo-HSCT to death from any cause in patients with AML. Overall survival will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Cumulative Incidence of Relapse
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Relapse was defined as disease recurrence.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Disease-Free Survival
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Disease-free survival (DFS) was defined as the time from transplantation to relapse, disease progression, or death, whichever occurred first.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Viral Infection
Time Frame: From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
Detection of CMV-DNA and EBV-DNA in peripheral blood twice a week.
From HSCT to the follow-up assessment at 12 months post-treatment.
