Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation with chemotherapy may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: ALLOGENEIC MARROW OR PERIPHERAL BLOOD STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION FOR AGNOGENIC MYELOID METAPLASIA WITH MYELOFIBROSIS

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation with chemotherapy may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus either bone marrow or peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients with myeloproliferative disorders.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Assess disease free survival in patients with idiopathic myelofibrosis treated with a preparative busulfan/cyclophosphamide regimen followed by allogeneic bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
  • Determine the risk of primary graft failure in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive a preparative regimen consisting of oral busulfan every 6 hours on days -7 through -4 and cyclophosphamide on days -3 and -2. Patients then receive allogeneic bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells on day 0. Patients registered on protocol FHCRC-1106.00 randomized to stem cell transplant receive unmodified G-CSF-mobilized stem cells from an HLA-identical donor.

Patients receive cyclosporine/methotrexate or tacrolimus/methotrexate as prophylaxis for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Patients receiving marrow from unrelated donors are eligible for appropriate GVHD prophylaxis studies.

Patients are followed at 6 and 12 months after transplant.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 20 patients will be accrued for this study over approximately 3.5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing busulfan, cyclophosphamide and cyclosporine in people with Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders and Leukemia, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00002792, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Apr 2010.
