About this study

Official title: High Dose Cyclophosphamide for the Treatment of Severe Aplastic Anemia and Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria

OBJECTIVES: I. Confirm the efficacy demonstrated in a pilot study using high dose cyclophosphamide in patients with severe aplastic anemia.

II. Determine whether the addition of filgrastim (G-CSF) to high dose cyclophosphamide shortens the time to recovery in these patients.

III. Determine whether this regimen is efficacious in treating paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

Read the detailed description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients receive high dose cyclophosphamide IV on days 1-4. Beginning on day 10, patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) until the absolute neutrophil count is greater than 1,000/mm3 for 2 consecutive days.

Patients are followed every 3 months for at least 2 years and annually thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cyclophosphamide and filgrastim in people with Aplastic Anemia and Paroxysmal Hemoglobinuria, Nocturnal, 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 18 Jan 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 18 Jan 2019.
