Oxidative stress & clinical endpoints,
SCT: ALLIVE trial


  • Substances such as citrate & albumin bind LPI.
    • By including NTA in the assay at concentrations too low to affect transferrin-bound iron, iron bound to other substances can be mobilized, allowing its measurement as eLPI.
    • The prospective ALLIVE trial identified that elevated pre-SCT eLPI is an independent predictor of NRM & OS.
    • Therefore eLPI is a biomarker of IOL that appears to be clinically relevant & indicate a need for intervention1.
    • eLPI should be included in future studies of IOL reduction in SCT & non-SCT patients.

  • Mean eLPI increased during conditioning, peaked at day +7, and returned to the normal range by around day +21
