Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Nonmyeloablative Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation From HLA Matched Sibling Donors For Treatment Of Patients With High Risk Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia In Complete Remission

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Sometimes the transplanted cells are rejected by the body's normal tissues. Mycophenolate mofetil and donor white blood cells may prevent this from happening.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to determine the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy and total-body irradiation followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine if a one-year disease free survival of 40% and a day 200 transplant-related mortality of less than 25% can be achieved in patients with high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia in complete remission treated with a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen comprising fludarabine and total body irradiation followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell or bone marrow transplantation.
  • Evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of donor lymphocyte infusion in the treatment of minimal residual disease after nonmyeloablative allografting in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen comprising fludarabine IV on days -4 to -2 and total body irradiation (TBI) on day 0. Children undergo allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) or bone marrow transplantation after TBI on day 0. Adults undergo filgrastim (G-CSF)-mobilized allogeneic PBSCT after TBI on day 0.

Patients also receive graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis therapy comprising oral cyclosporine twice daily on days -3 to 56 and then tapered and oral mycophenolate mofetil once at 5-10 hours after transplantation on day 0 and then twice daily on days 1-27.

Patients who have no evidence of grade 2 or greater acute GVHD or clinically extensive chronic GVHD, have been off GVHD prophylaxis therapy for 1-2 weeks, and have stable or increasing minimal residual disease after discontinuation of GVHD prophylaxis therapy receive donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) IV over 30 minutes. DLI repeats every 4 weeks for a total of 3 doses (if necessary).

Patients without a history of CNS leukemia and patients with a history of CNS leukemia previously treated with prophylactic craniospinal irradiation receive methotrexate (MTX) or cytarabine (ARA-C) intrathecally (IT) for a total of 2 doses before transplantation and for a total of 6 doses beginning on day 32 after transplantation. Patients with a history of CNS leukemia not previously treated with craniospinal irradiation undergo craniospinal irradiation for 11 days before conditioning regimen and then MTX or ARA-C IT for a total of 6 doses beginning on day 32 after transplantation. Male patients also undergo testicular radiotherapy for 7 days.

Patients are followed at 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients (20 adults and 10 children) will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing therapeutic allogeneic lymphocytes, cyclosporine and cytarabine in people with Leukemia, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 30 Nov 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Germany. 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 combined 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.

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 30 Nov 2011.
