E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study has been split in two categories: the feasibility of HSCT (ITT) in patients with HR-MDS with a proportion of bone marrow blasts below 10% and in patients with a proportion of BM blasts equal or greater than 10%. |
L’obiettivo primario di questo studio è stato separato in due categorie: valutare la fattibilità del trapianto (ITT, Intention To Treat) nei pazienti affetti da HR-MDS con una percentuale di blasti midollari inferiore al 10% e nei pazienti con una percentuale uguale o maggiore al 10%. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Feasibility of HSCT (ITT) - Non-inferiority design. Primary Endpoint evaluation The feasibility of HSCT will be estimated in terms of proportion of patients who receive HSCT of the total number of randomized patients. For the primary endpoint of feasibility of HSCT, all patients who perform HSCT will be considered as "successes", and all others, as "failures". For the primary efficacy endpoint (feasibility of HSCT), sensitivity analyses will be performed adjusting the treatment comparison by factors which appeared to be of prognostic importance |
Fattibilità di HSCT (ITT) - Progettazione di non inferiorità. Valutazione dell'endpoint primario La fattibilità di HSCT sarà stimata in termini di proporzione di pazienti che ricevono HSCT del numero totale di pazienti randomizzati. Per l'endpoint primario di fattibilità dell'HSCT, tutti i pazienti che eseguono l'HSCT saranno considerati "successi" e tutti gli altri come "fallimenti". Per l'endpoint primario di efficacia (fattibilità dell'HSCT), verranno eseguite analisi di sensibilità regolando il confronto del trattamento in base a fattori che sembravano essere di importanza prognostica |
