NCT03727113

Brief Summary

There are data suggesting that the reduction of the diversity of intestinal microbiota caused by the used treatments in the setting of allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplant (ASCT), and specially antibiotics, may be related to increased incidence of graft versus host disease (GVHD) and worst clinical outcomes. Present "European Conference on Infections in Leukaemia" guidelines exhort to antibiotic treatment optimization in hematological patients, without excluding ASCT receptors. This study aims to demonstrate that in ASCT receptors a predefined protocol of optimization of the antibacterial treatment will preserve the intestinal microbiota diversity which will correlate with decrease incidence of acute GVHD. And that this procedure is safe because it will not worsen the incidence of infections, transplant related mortality, infectious mortality or global survival.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Impact on microbiota

    Comparison of biological alpha and beta diversity of the intestinal microbiota of both study groups (classical and optimized antibiotherapy). Calculation of alpha diversity (OTUs richness and Shannon diversity indexes observed, Faith's Phylogenetic Diversity and Evenness) and beta diversity (Jaccard distance, Bray-Curtis distance, Unweighted UniFra distance, used for comparing biological communities) indexes by QIIME 2 (microbiome bioinformatics platform).

    From the Previous Day of starting conditioning treatment until the last documented day of antibiotherapy or hospital discharge, whichever came first, assessed up to one month post-transplant.

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Incidence of Acute graft versus host disease

    From the day of transplant (Day 0) to Day +100 posttransplant

  • Transplant related mortality

    From the day of transplant (Day 0) to Days +30, +100 and +365 posttransplant

  • Mortality caused by infection

    From the day of transplant (Day 0) to Days +30, +100 and +365 posttransplant

  • Incidence of severe infections

    From the day of transplant (Day 0) to Day +30 posttransplant

  • Overall survival

    From the day of transplant (Day 0) to Days +30, +100 and +365 posttransplant

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Adult patients (\> 18 years old) who are going to receive their first hematopoietic allogeneic transplant of any modality and who sign the informed consent to participate in this study will be included.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients admitted to receive their first allogeneic hematopoietic transplant as a treatment of any disease.
  • Conformity of the patient to participate by signing the informed consent.
  • Patients who have received a previous autologous transplant are not excluded.

You may not qualify if:

  • Non-compliance of the patient to sign the informed consent.
  • Patients who have already started the conditioning (or thereafter) will not be included.
  • Allograft recipients who have previously received the transplant will not be included. Second allogeneic transplants are excluded.
