About this study
Official title: A Pilot Study of High Dose Busulfan Combined With IL2/GM-CSF Activated Autologous/Syngeneic PBSC, Sequential IL2/GM-CSF Therapy and Alpha Interferon Maintenance Therapy as Treatment of CML
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Biological therapies use different ways to stimulate the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation and biological therapy in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the toxicity of high-dose busulfan followed by interleukin-2 (IL-2) and sargramostim (GM-CSF) activated autologous/syngeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation, sequential IL-2 and GM-CSF therapy, and interferon alfa in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. II. Determine engraftment potential of IL-2/GM-CSF activated PBSC followed by sequential IL-2/GM-CSF therapy in this patient population. III. Assess the time to cytogenetic and/or morphologic relapse, overall event-free survival, and overall survival in these patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: Autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are harvested and activated with interleukin-2 (IL-2) and sargramostim (GM-CSF) on another protocol. Patients receive oral busulfan every 6 hours on days -6 to -3 for a total of 16 doses. IL-2 and GM-CSF-activated PBSC are reinfused on day 0. Beginning 4 hours after PBSC infusion, patients receive IL-2 IV continuously for 5 days followed by 2 days of rest for 4 weeks. In addition, GM-CSF is administered subcutaneously (SC) every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 4 weeks. Upon hematologic recovery, but no earlier than 2 weeks after IL-2 and GM-CSF, patients receive interferon alfa SC 3 times weekly until clear evidence of disease progression. Patients are followed every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 25 patients will be accrued for this study within 2-3 years.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing aldesleukin, recombinant interferon alfa and sargramostim in people with Leukemia, 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 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 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 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 2 Apr 2010.
