Title

Randomized Study In Severe Aplastic Anemia Patients Receiving Atg, Cyclosporin A, With Or Without G-CSF (SAA-G-CSF)

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.
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.

Estimate

Drug G-CSF

Yes/no addition of G-CSF

Drug Early retreatment with ATG

Yes/no early retreatment with ATG

Yes G-CSF, No 2nd ATG Active Comparator

Patients randomised to receive G-CSF (alongside ATG and CSA) and to not receive early retreatment in case of no response.

No G-CSF, No 2nd ATG Active Comparator

Patients randomised not to receive G-CSF (alongside ATG and CSA) and to not receive early retreatment in case of no response.

No G-CSF, yes 2nd ATG Active Comparator

Patients randomised not to receive G-CSF (alongside ATG and CSA) but they do receive early retreatment in case of no response.

Yes G-CSF, Yes 2nd ATG Active Comparator

Patients randomised to receive G-CSF (alongside ATG and CSA) and to receive early retreatment in case of no response.
