About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplants From a Related Donor Without Graft-Versus-Host Prophylaxis in Patients With High Risk of Relapse

RATIONALE: Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy used to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of peripheral stem cell transplantation from related donors to prevent graft-versus-host disease in treating patients with hematologic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the use of donor peripheral blood stem cells without graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis to maximize the probability of graft-versus-tumor effect in patients with hematologic malignancies refractory to standard chemotherapy and unlikely to be cured with high dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

OUTLINE: Prior to peripheral blood stem cell transplant, patients undergo preparative cytoreduction. Patients receive total body irradiation (TBI) beginning on day -5. Radiotherapy is administered in 9 doses over 3 days (3 doses per day for 3 days). Male patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia receive an additional dose of radiation to the testicles. Patients who are ineligible for TBI due to prior radiotherapy receive 2 doses of melphalan IV on day -3. All patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -2 and -1. Anti-thymocyte globulin is also administered IV over 6 hours on days -2 and -1. Approximately 24-36 hours after the last dose of cyclophosphamide, peripheral blood stem cells obtained from the HLA matched related donor are infused into the patient. Patients do not receive graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis after transplant; however, all other forms of supportive care are provided. Patients are followed for 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 42 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing anti-thymocyte globulin, graft-versus-tumor induction therapy and cyclophosphamide in people with Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by University of Maryland, Baltimore 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 17 Oct 2019. 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?
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 17 Oct 2019.
