Trial summary

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, and radiation therapy before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Pilot Trial of Non-Myeloablative Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) Transplantation Using Fludarabine, Low Dose TBI and Post-Transplant Cyclosporine and Mycophenolate Mofetil Followed by Donor Lymphocyte Infusion for Therapy of Advanced or Metastatic Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) - Associated Cervical Carcinoma Refractory to Standard Therapy

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, and radiation therapy before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help increase this effect. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well donor peripheral stem cell transplant plus chemotherapy and total-body irradiation followed by donor white blood cell infusion work in treating patients with recurrent metastatic or locally advanced cancer of the cervix or vagina that is associated with human papillomavirus.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the partial or complete response in patients with recurrent metastatic or locally advanced human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cervical or vaginal carcinoma treated with a nonmyeloablative regimen comprising fludarabine and low-dose total body irradiation followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, and donor lymphocyte infusion.

Secondary

  • Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Determine whether this regimen induces engraftment and donor chimerism in these patients.
  • Determine the HPV-E6 and HPV-E7 specific T-cell responses in selected patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

Patients receive conditioning therapy comprising fludarabine IV on days -4 to -2 and low-dose total body irradiation on day 0. Filgrastim (G-CSF)-mobilized allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells are infused on day 0.

Patients also receive oral cyclosporine twice daily on days -3 to 35 and then tapered until day 56. Mycophenolate mofetil is administered orally twice daily on days 0-27.

Patients with disease progression and no graft-versus-host disease on day 56 receive nonmobilized donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) over 30 minutes on day 65. DLI may be repeated every 65 days for up to 4 doses.

Patients are followed weekly for 3 months, monthly for 6 months, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 10 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing therapeutic allogeneic lymphocytes, cyclosporine and fludarabine phosphate in people with Cervical Cancer and Vaginal Cancer, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center 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 2 Apr 2010. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Partial or complete response. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 2 Apr 2010.
