Trial summary

RATIONALE: Colony-stimulating factors, such as sargramostim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood.

About this study

Official title: Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) After T-Lymphocyte Depleted Allogeneic BMT for Myelodysplastic Syndromes

RATIONALE: Colony-stimulating factors, such as sargramostim, may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of sargramostim after bone marrow transplantation in treating patients who have myelodysplastic syndrome.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the effect of sargramostim (GM-CSF) on the progression-free 1-year survival of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome who have undergone T-cell-depleted CD34+ augmented allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

OUTLINE: All patients receive elutriated, CD34+ stem cell augmented donor bone marrow according to another protocol on day 0.

Patients receive sargramostim (GM-CSF) subcutaneously on days 5-60.

Patients are followed on days 120, 180, 360 and periodically thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 45 patients will be accrued for this study within 3-4 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sargramostim in people with Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins 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 Apr 2014. 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 Apr 2014.
