Trial summary

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

About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase III Trial of G-CSF Primed Autologous Bone Marrow Versus Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cells (PBPC) as Hematopoietic Support for High-Dose Cyclophosphamide, Thiotepa, and Carboplatin (CTCb) Therapy in Poor Prognosis Breast Cancer

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

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare bone marrow transplantation with peripheral stem cell transplantation following carboplatin in treating patients with breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare engraftment rates using G-CSF primed autologous bone marrow vs PBCP as hematopoietic support following high dose CTCb for patients with poor prognosis breast cancer. II. Compare the complications of these two methods of hematopoietic progenitor cell collections. III. Compare Stage IV patients with bone or bone marrow involvement (assigned to PBPC collections) with Stage IV patients randomized to PBPC collections relative to the number of leukaphereses needed to collect the required number of progenitor cells as well as assess engraftment rates between these two groups. IV. Assess the response to high dose CTCb in this group of patients.

OUTLINE: All patients will receive G-CSF priming therapy for 5 consecutive days. Patients will then be randomized into two treatment arms: Arm 1 consists of autologous PBPC collection Arm 2 consists of autologous bone marrow collection Within 2 weeks after progenitor cell collection, all patients will receive high dose CTCb therapy by continuous infusion for 5 days, followed by autologous hematopoietic progenitor cell infusion at least three days later. G-CSF will also be given after infusion until ANC count is over 5,000 or over 1,000 for 3 consecutive days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 66 patients will be accrued at a rate of 24 per year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing autologous bone marrow transplantation and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in people with Breast Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 10 Aug 2018. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 NCT00002942, 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 10 Aug 2018.
