Trial summary

RATIONALE: Donor peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Sometimes the transplanted cells are rejected by the body's normal tissues. Treatment with donor white blood cells may prevent this from happening. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Delayed Donor Leukocyte Infusions in Patients Receiving Allogeneic PBSC Following Conditioning With Non-myeloablative Regimen for AIDS-Related Lymphoma (NHL and HD)

RATIONALE: Donor peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Sometimes the transplanted cells are rejected by the body's normal tissues. Treatment with donor white blood cells may prevent this from happening.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of donor peripheral stem cell transplantation followed by infusions of donor white blood cells in treating patients who have AIDS-related lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rate of patients with AIDS-related lymphoma treated with allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation followed by delayed donor leukocyte infusion.
  • Determine the complication rate of these patients treated with PBSC transplantation.
  • Determine the immune dysfunction and recovery of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on days -5 to -3. Patients who have not received prior mediastinal radiotherapy receive thymic radiotherapy on day -1. Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells are infused on day 0. Patients also receive anti-thymocyte globulin IV over 10-12 hours on days -1, 1, 3, and 5 and cyclosporine IV beginning on day -1, switching to oral when possible, and tapering until day 35.

In the absence of active acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and at least 2 weeks after completion of cyclosporine, patients receive an infusion of donor leukocytes on or before day 49. Patients may receive a second donor leukocyte infusion if there is evidence of persistent malignancy and no GVHD.

Patients are followed through day 100, on days 120, 180, 270, and 365, and then every 6 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-35 patients will be accrued for this study within 3-4 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing anti-thymocyte globulin, therapeutic allogeneic lymphocytes and cyclophosphamide in people with Lymphoma, run by AIDS Malignancy Consortium.

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 3 Feb 2016.
