About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation in Adults and Children With Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes or Inherited Metabolic or Hematologic Diseases

RATIONALE: Umbilical cord blood transplantation may be able to replace cells destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of umbilical cord blood transplantation in treating patients who have hematologic cancer or other hematologic or metabolic diseases.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the rates of durable engraftment in patients with severe aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, inborn errors of metabolism, or inherited hematopoietic disorders refractory to medical management, who are undergoing high dose chemoradiotherapy followed by unrelated cord blood (UCB) transplantation. II. Determine the incidence and severity of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in these patients. III. Monitor overall and event-free survival of these patients. IV. Evaluate rate and quality of immunologic reconstitution of these patients. V. Determine whether nucleated cell or progenitor cell content of the graft is predictive of engraftment.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to low vs high weight. Patients with severe aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or bone marrow failure receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -6 to -3 or melphalan IV over 20 minutes on days -4 to -2, antithymocyte globulin (ATG) IV over 4 hours or methylprednisolone IV over 1 hour twice a day on days -3 to -1, and total lymphoid irradiation on day -1. On day 0, patients receive umbilical cord blood (UCB) infusion. Patients with inborn errors of metabolism or inherited hematopoietic disorders receive oral busulfan every 6 hours on days -9 to -6, cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -5 to -2 or melphalan IV over 20 minutes on days -4 to -2, and ATG IV over 4 hours or methylprednisolone IV over 1 hour on days -3 to -1. On day 0, patients receive UCB infusion. Patients with Fanconi's anemia receive ATG IV over 4 hours or methylprednisolone IV over 1 hour on days -6 to -1, cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -5 to -2, thoracoabdominal irradiation on day -1, and then the UCB infusion on day 0. Patients also receive cyclosporine and methylprednisolone beginning on day -2 and continuing as necessary as graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. Patients are followed indefinitely for survival and late toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 4-90 patients will be accrued for this study within 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing anti-thymocyte globulin, busulfan and cyclophosphamide in people with Graft Versus Host Disease and Leukemia, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute at 15 sites in United States.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites 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 7 Mar 2011.
