Central Nervous System Disorders Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: a Prospective Observational Trial From the Infectious Diseases Working Party and the Transplant Complications Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation
In Brief
An observational study for Central Nervous System Infections and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 252 participants across 22 sites in 12 countries.
Detailed Summary
All patients undergoing allogeneic or autologous HSCT at the participating centres will be observed. Once a diagnosis of CNS disorder is made, additional data will be reported for these patients. We will identify clinical and diagnostic characteristics such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and neuroimaging patterns, risk factors, response to treatment (including novel antifungal agents such as isavuconazole) and outcome. In addition, risk factors for CNS disorders after allogeneic and autologous HSCT will be analyzed using a prospectively assessed matched control group. In the future, this study might be the basis for an interventional trial (e.g. using a prophylactic approach).
