Assessment of the Fungal Infection Incidence Across Canada for High Risk Participants With Hematological Disease (P07501) (TRAFIC)

September 13, 2016 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

Temporal Realistic Assessment of the Fungal Infection Incidence Across Canada for High Risk Subjects With Hematological Disease (TRAFIC)

This will be a retrospective study that includes retrospective chart reviews at major institutions across Canada. The intent of the study is to generate both regional and national incidence data for non-Candida invasive fungal infections (IFI) in high risk participants. The study will include participants receiving stem cell transplant and high dose chemotherapy treatment for leukemia.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • To be eligible for study inclusion, the participant must have:
  • A hematological malignancy requiring high dose chemotherapy with or without bone marrow transplant

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The participant is not eligible for study inclusion if:

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Participants at high risk for IFI
Participants will be considered high risk if they are undergoing high dose chemotherapy for leukemia. This includes, but is not limited to participants with acute myelogenous leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome. Participants are also considered to be at high risk for IFI if they have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.
Other: Standard Care
Health-care interventions will be recorded; no additional procedures outside the standard of care will be required.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Non-Candida Invasive Fungal Infections at a Single Institution
Time Frame: 365 days
Data were extracted from participant hospital records from the time of initiating chemotherapy or conditioning regimen for their stem cell transplant (index date) until one year post-index date, in order to determine the percentage of high risk participants with non-Candida invasive fungal infections.
365 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With a Specific Fungal Pathogen at a Single Institution
Time Frame: 365 days
Data were extracted from participant hospital records from the time of initiating chemotherapy or conditioning regimen for their stem cell transplant (index date) until one year post-index date, in order to determine the percentage of participants with a specific fungal pathogen.
365 days
Percentage of Participants With Invasive Fungal Infections in Canada
Time Frame: 365 days
Data were to be extracted from participant hospital records from 5-9 centers across Canada starting from the time of initiating chemotherapy or conditioning regimen for their stem cell transplant (index date) until one year post-index date, in order to determine the percentage of high risk participants with non-Candida invasive fungal infections.
365 days
