About This Trial

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.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Myeloma and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 900 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Patients must be receiving Ig (IV or subcutaneous - SCIg) replacement for prevention of bacterial infections due to hypogammaglobulinaemia for at least 6 consecutive months. 2. Patient is eligible for trial of Ig cessation in the opinion of the treating clinician and local investigator. 3. Patient is willing and able to comply with each of the treatment arms. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Prior or planned allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. 2. Major infection (Grade 3 or higher) in preceding 3 months, and/or current active infection requiring systemic antimicrobial treatment. 3. Already receiving systemic antibiotic prophylaxis for the purpose of preventing bacterial infection (NB: patients may receive antiviral, antifungal and PJP prophylaxis). 4. Intolerance of all trial antibiotic options in either arm A or arm B. 5. Communication, compliance or logistical issues that are likely to limit patient's ability to take prophylactic or emergency antibiotics, or to obtain urgent medical attention for symptoms of infection. 6. Pregnant or breastfeeding. 7. Severe renal impairment (estimated or measured creatinine clearance of \< 30 mL/min). 8. Previous splenectomy. 9. Previous participation in this domain. 10. Treating team deems enrolment in the domain is not in the best interests of the patient. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

DRUG

Trimethoprim Sulfamethoxazole

Once daily trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (co-trimoxazole) 160mg/800mg. NB: Doxycycline 100mg daily as an alternative for patients with hypersensitivity to co-trimoxazole.

DRUG

Amoxycillin/clavulanic acid

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.

BIOLOGICAL

Immune Globulin Intravenous

Participants will continue treatment with their current Ig replacement schedule. Participants will receive monthly (every 4 weeks ± 1 week) intravenous immunoglobulin 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. For patients who have already had their Ig dose titrated to IgG trough level, they may continue on their current monthly dose of Ig replacement. 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.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT07202091), the sponsor (Monash University), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions?

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening.
