About this study

Official title: Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cell Transplantation Using Histocompatible Sibling-Matched Donor Cells After High-Dose Busulfan/Cyclophosphamide as Therapy for Hematologic Malignancies

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

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and filgrastim together with peripheral stem cell transplantation from a sibling donor works in treating patients with hematologic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the safety and feasibility of using allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cell infusions obtained from normal histocompatible sibling donors for reconstituting bone marrow and immunologic function when given after high-dose busulfan/cyclophosphamide in patients with a hematologic malignancy.
  • Determine the efficacy of this treatment in these patients.
  • Determine the ability to mobilize hematopoietic progenitor cells from normal donors given filgrastim (G-CSF) by determining the hematopoietic progenitor cell content of allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cell collections.
  • Determine the incidence of engraftment failures in these patients.
  • Determine the incidence of severe acute graft-versus-host disease in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive high-dose oral busulfan every 6 hours on days -8 to -5, cyclophosphamide IV twice a day on days -4 and -3, and cyclosporine IV over 6 hours on day -1 and then 10 hours on day 0 for 2 doses (allogeneic only). Allogeneic peripheral blood progenitor cells IV are administered on day 0.

Filgrastim (G-CSF) is administered subcutaneously twice a day beginning 3 hours after completion of cell infusion and continuing until blood counts recover.

Patients are followed every month for 2 months, every 3 months for 6 months, and then every 6 months until disease progression.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued over a 15 month period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, busulfan and cyclophosphamide in people with Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by Case Comprehensive 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 11 Jun 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hematopoietic reconstitution measured daily during transplant (time frame: at months 2, 4, 7, and 10, and then every 6 months until disease progression). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Jun 2010.
