Trial summary

RATIONALE: Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder in which abnormal, crescent-shaped red blood cells interfere with the ability of the blood to carry oxygen through the body and can cause severe pain, stroke, and organ damage. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Study of Induction of Stable Mixed Chimerism After Bone Marrow Transplantation From HLA-Identical Donors in Children With Sickle Cell Disease

RATIONALE: Sickle cell disease is an inherited disorder in which abnormal, crescent-shaped red blood cells interfere with the ability of the blood to carry oxygen through the body and can cause severe pain, stroke, and organ damage. Bone marrow transplantation, is a procedure in which the soft, sponge-like tissue in the center of bones producing white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets is replaced by bone marrow from a another person. Bone marrow transplantation may be an effective treatment in relieving the symptoms of sickle cell disease.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of bone marrow transplantation in treating children who have sickle cell disease.

Read the detailed description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients undergo total body irradiation on day 0, followed by allogeneic bone marrow transfusion. Patients also receive fludarabine IV daily and cyclosporine IV twice a day on days -1 to 1. Patients then receive oral cyclosporine on days 1-90, and oral mycophenolate mofetil twice a day on days 0-27.

Patients are followed for 100 days, monthly for 6 months and then annually for 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing cyclosporine, fludarabine and mycophenolate mofetil in people with Sickle Cell Anemia, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 2 sites 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 10 Sep 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 10 Sep 2008.
