Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of G-CSF on disease free survival and
overall survival in aplastic anaemia patients who also receive ATG and Cyclosporin A.
Detailed Description
Open label, randomized, controlled study of G-CSF, ATG and Cyclosporin A versus ATG and
Cyclosporin A. Subjects will be evaluated for hematologic response through day 240. Subjects
who do not demonstrate a partial or complete remission by day 120 will be randomized to
receive either a second course of ATG or continue their current regimen. Subjects who do
demonstrate a partial or complete remission will continue their current regimen through day
240 or maintenance of a complete remission for 30 days. The last day of study treatment will
be day 240.

Conditions
Conditions usually refer to a disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury. In ClinicalTrials.gov,
conditions include any health issue worth studying, such as lifespan, quality of life, health risks, etc.
Interventions
Interventions refer to the drug, vaccine, procedure, device, or other potential treatment being studied.
Interventions can also include less intrusive possibilities such as surveys, education, and interviews.
Study Phase
Most clinical trials are designated as phase 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the type of questions
that study is seeking to answer:
In Phase 1 (Phase I) clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase 2 (Phase II) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase 3 (Phase III) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
In Phase 4 (Phase IV) clinical trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.
These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations.
