This is an adaptive platform study to find out how safe and effective different strategies are in comparison to each other, for preventing infection in patients with blood cancers.
It is a comparison between Immunoglobulin and antibiotics use.
This study is being conducted to find out how safe and effective different strategies of infection prevention are in comparison to each other, for preventing infection in patients with blood cancers. The best way to find out this information is to directly compare the effect of different treatment strategies in patients with blood cancers. We want to know how these different treatments impact on your health and your use of healthcare services.
This research project uses an Adaptive Platform Design. This design allows the researchers to compare multiple infection prevention strategies within the same trial at the same time (rather than running separate trials), to analyse results as the trial occurs and to add new research questions during the course of the trial.
The treatments that you may receive as part of the study will be determined by which domain(s) of the platform you participate in. By combining data collected within each domain as part of the platform, the researchers can investigate and compare treatment strategies and infection outcomes across a broader range of participants.

| Intravenous immunoglobulin | Biological | (IVIg) intravenous immunoglobulin every 4 weeks ± 1 week at a dose of 0.4g/kg, modified to achieve an (IgG) immunoglobulin G trough level of at least lower limit of age-specific serum IgG reference range; or SCIg, weekly, may be used in patients who meet local criteria for home-based self-administration in centres with established SCIg programs. Dosing is usually given at 100mg/kg/week, modified to achieve an IgG steady state level of at least the lower limit of the serum reference range.

Up to 900 participants will be recruited to the RATIONAL-PT, including up to 300 per domain. The aim of the platform is to determine optimal supportive care interventions for patients with haematological malignancies. The primary outcome for the platform is Event-free survival (EFS), defined as time from randomisation (or, in domains with a single treatment arm, time from registration) until occurrence of a Grade 3 or higher infection (as defined by CTCAE Version 5), or death from any cause. Data from each domain will contribute to the primary analysis.

An independent outcome adjudication committee will meet to review and adjudicate infection outcome data. These committee members will be blinded to treatment allocation.

| Trimethoprim / Sulfamethoxazole | Drug | Once daily trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (co-trimoxazole) 160mg/800mg. Doxycycline 100mg daily as an alternative for patients with hypersensitivity to co-trimoxazole. |
|
|
| Amoxicillin clavulanic acid | Drug | Patients will be provided with amoxycillin/clavulanic acid 1750-2000mg/250mg and ciprofloxacin 750 mg to keep at home for initial use if symptoms of infection develop, with immediate review by their treating clinical team, or nearest emergency department or medical practitioner with phone contact to treating team if most practical. Clindamycin 600 mg is permitted as an alternative to amoxycillin/clavulanic acid for patients with hypersensitivity to penicillin. Ciprofloxacin is omitted for participants with hypersensitivity. |

| Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) | Biological | Arm A: Low dose (IgRT) immunoglobulin replacement therapy: Participants will be treated with intravenous immunoglobulin monthly (every 4 weeks ± 1 week) at a dose of 0.25g/kg. No dose adjustment for trough serum IgG levels is required. Arm B: Usual dose: Participants will be treated with intravenous immunoglobulin monthly (every 4 weeks ± 1 week) at a dose of 0.4g/kg, modified to achieve an IgG trough level of at least lower limit of age-specific serum IgG reference range. |
