About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of HLA-Matched Peripheral Blood Mobilized Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Transplantation for Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Followed by Allogeneic T-Cell Infusion as Adoptive Immunotherapy

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of tumor cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining tumor cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help increase this effect. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine with or without mycophenolate mofetil or methotrexate after the transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well peripheral stem cell transplant works in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the antitumor effect of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
  • Evaluate the safety and toxicity of a nonmyeloablative, low-intensity, preparative regimen followed by an HLA-matched allogeneic PBSCT in these patients.
  • Determine engraftment by measuring donor-recipient chimerism in lymphoid and myeloid lineages in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the relationship between donor-host chimerism and the incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the effect of lymphocyte infusions on donor-host chimerism in this patient population.
  • Determine the response rate, disease-free survival, overall survival, and mortality from the procedure or tumor progression in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE:

  • Nonmyeloablative preparative regimen: Patients receive 1 of 3 preparative regimens prior to peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) transplantation. (Regimens 2 and 3 closed to accrual as of 10/1/03.)
  • Regimen 1: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -7 and -6 and fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -5 to -1.
  • Regimen 2 (closed to accrual as of 10/1/03): Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -7 and -6, fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -5 to -1, and antithymocyte globulin on days -5 to -2.
  • Regimen 3 (closed to accrual as of 10/1/03): Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -8 to -6, fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -5 to -1, and antithymocyte globulin on days -5 to -2.
  • PBPC transplantation: Patients undergo mobilized CD34+ PBPC transplantation on day 0. PBPC transplantation may be repeated on days 1 and 2, if deemed necessary.
  • Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receive 1 of 3 GVHD prophylaxis regimens.
  • Regimen 1 (closed to accrual as of 10/17/00): Patients receive cyclosporine IV over 12 hours or orally beginning on day -4 and continuing for up to approximately 3 months.
  • Regimen 2 (open to accrual from 10/17/00 through 2/11/02): Patients receive cyclosporine as in regimen 1. Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil.
  • Regimen 3 (open to accrual as of 2/11/02): Patients receive cyclosporine as in regimen 1. Patients also receive methotrexate.
  • Donor lymphocyte infusions: Patients with progressive disease on days 15-30, day 60, or day 100, without GVHD, receive infusion(s) of donor lymphocytes. Further donor lymphocyte infusions after day 100 may be given at the discretion of the attending physician.

Patients are followed every 2 months for 6 months, every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 2½ years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 80 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing HLA Matched Peripheral BLood Stem Cells in people with Kidney Cancer, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) 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?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. 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 19 Jun 2020. 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?

The anti-tumor effect of allogenic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in patients with progressive metastatic renal cell carcinoma. (time frame: 5 Years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00003553, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 19 Jun 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
