Evidence consistent with myelodysplastic syndrome allowed if less than 5% blasts on bone marrow aspiration; clonality on bone marrow cytogenetic analysis OR morphological changes on bone marrow aspirate

Refusal of or unsuccessful with prior conventional therapies

--Prior/Concurrent Therapy--

About this study

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate the toxicity of amifostine in patients with bone marrow failure related to Fanconi's anemia.

II. Determine the efficacy of this treatment regimen in this patient population.

III. Evaluate the effect of this treatment regimen on bone marrow progenitor cell proliferation and peripheral blood mononuclear cell apoptosis in these patients.

PROTOCOL OUTLINE:

This is a dose escalation study.

Patients receive amifostine IV over 3-5 minutes three times a week for three weeks.

Cohorts of 3 patients receive one of three dose levels of amifostine. The maximum tolerated dose is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed weekly for 3 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing amifostine in people with Fanconi's Anemia, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute 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: status not confirmed, 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.

What does this 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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.
