A Mono-centric, No-profit, Case-control Study With Daily Oral Supplementation of Zinc Sulphate After Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients Affected by Multiple Myeloma
Abstract
Patients affected by multiple myeloma undergone autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) are enrolled at the moment of stem cell collection. They are randomized 1:1 in two groups at the moment of the graft. Patients of the Control group take only standard antimicrobial prophylaxis after SCT; the Sample group takes in addition a daily oral supplementation of Zinc Sulfate (600 mg/die) from day +5 until day +100 after SCT. Laboratory tests are performed on peripheral blood samples.
Conditions: Stem Cell Transplant Complications.
Primary outcome: Thymic output improvement by TRECs; Thymic output improvement by flow cytometry.
Enrollment: 20 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 20 participants or records.
