Trial summary

OBJECTIVES: I. Ascertain whether stem cell transplantation (SCT) is an effective method by which missing or dysfunctional enzymes can be replaced in patients with various inborn errors of metabolism. II. Determine whether clinical manifestations of the specific disease may be arrested or reversed by this treatment. Read more about this study

Read the detailed description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients receive either cyclophosphamide and high dose total body irradiation (TBI) or busulfan and cyclophosphamide.

Cyclophosphamide IV is given on days -5 and -4 and TBI on days -2, -1, and 0. Busulfan is given orally every 6 hours on days -9 through -6 and cyclophosphamide IV on days -5 through -2. Patients rest on day -1.

Patients receive bone marrow infusion on day 0. For GVHD prophylaxis, patients receive methotrexate on day 1, then on days 3, 6, and 11. Cyclosporine IV begins on day -2 over 12 hours, followed by continuous infusion for 21 days. Then, oral doses of cyclosporine are given every 12 hours to patients who tolerate oral feeding. Cyclosporine is continued 6 months posttransplant, then tapered 10% per week and stopped.

Patients who receive genotypically HLA nonidentical stem cells undergo additional GVHD prophylaxis with methylprednisolone (IV or PO) or its equivalent every 12 hours on days 3 to day 100. Dose is then tapered as tolerated over 1 month.

Patients who receive cord blood stem cells receive methylprednisolone instead of methotrexate for GHVD prophylaxis. Methylprednisolone is given 3 times daily beginning on day 5 and continuing until day 17. Then, methylprednisolone is tapered 10% per week as clinically tolerated.

To accelerate engraftment, patients receive filgrastim IM daily beginning on day +1 and continuing until ANC equals 5000.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stem Cell Transplantation in people with Thrombocytopenia and Metachromatic Leukodystrophy, run by National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) 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 24 Jun 2005. 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.

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 24 Jun 2005.
