A side-effect of allogeneic stem cell transplantation is a big loss in bone strength. Bone-strength is also called “bone mineral density” (BMD). One of the problems with a loss in bone strength is a higher risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures later in life. Hence, we are keen to look at ways by which this loss in bone-strength can be minimised. A group of drugs, called bisphosphonates, have been shown to reduce the rate of bone-strength loss after transplants. The current study is a follow-on .... Read more
Patients agend 18 years or over undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performace status >1
No
Sample Size 82
Min. age 18 Years
Max. age 0 Not stated
Sex Both males and females
Condition category Loss of bone mineral density in cancer patients whom have undergone allogeneic stem cell transplantation
Condition code Cancer
Intervention code Prevention , Treatment: Drugs
Zoledronic acid. 4mg dose administered intravenously. Dosing will occur in all patients within 7-days prior to the commencement of the conditioning regimen prior to stem cell transplantation, Zoledronic acid dosing will also occur following transplant at 3, 6, and 9 months if required.
Control group Historical
The comparator is no treatment. A historical group that did not receive prophylactic treatment for bone density loss while undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation will be used as controls.
Outcome: Percent change in bone mineral density compared to baselineTimepoint: at day 100 and day 365 following allogeneic stem cell transplantation
yes

Any type of analysis Assessed on a case-by-case basis
To assist secondary data users in understanding the real-world impact of health and medical research data sharing, the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) has created an online guide that outlines a theoretical framework for four key data reuse scenarios. This practical guide was extracted from research papers, and consultation with stakeholders and the research community.
With Health Data Australia, researchers can explore descriptions of data from our publishing partners, identify relevant datasets, and request access. These requests will then be forwarded to the data owner for review.
