About this study

Official title: Allogeneic Breast Protocol 1: T-Cell Depleted Allogeneic Blood Stem Cell Transplantation Using an Immunoablative Conditioning Regimen in Metastatic Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy used to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have stage IV breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the ability of T-cell-depleted allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation after an immunoablative conditioning regimen to induce a state of mixed host/donor chimerism in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
  • Determine the ability of this treatment regimen to induce an allogeneic graft-versus-tumor response in these patients.
  • Determine the feasibility of giving other approved therapies to these patients at the first sign of disease progression in order to stabilize or produce a minimal or partial response.

OUTLINE: Patients receive chemotherapy comprising fludarabine IV over 30 minutes and cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-4. Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) SC daily beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood counts recover. Treatment repeats every 21 days for a maximum of 2 courses.

Patients receive a transplantation preparative regimen comprising fludarabine IV over 30 minutes and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -6 to -3 (beginning on day 22 of immune-depleting chemotherapy) followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation IV on day 0. Patients receive G-CSF SC daily beginning on day 0 and continuing until blood counts recover, plus cyclosporine IV over 1-2 hours every 12 hours on days -1 to 14 and then orally until day 40.

Patients with persistent malignant disease and less than grade II acute graft-versus-host disease receive donor lymphocytes IV on days 42, 70, and 98.

Patients are followed twice weekly until day 100, and then at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 70 patients will be accrued for this study within 24 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, therapeutic allogeneic lymphocytes and cyclophosphamide in people with Breast Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 20 Jun 2013. 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00020176, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 20 Jun 2013.
