About this study

Official title: Combined HLA-matched Bone Marrow and Kidney Transplantation for Multiple Myeloma With Renal Failure

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a combined bone marrow and kidney transplant will be effective in treating stage II or greater multiple myeloma and associated kidney failure. This study will determine whether transplant rejection and the need for immunosuppressive drugs are decreased with this combined transplant approach.

Read the detailed description

In very limited human testing, a combined kidney and bone marrow transplant appears to be safe and effective in treating multiple myeloma and associated kidney failure. This study will evaluate this approach in 10 patients with kidney failure due to or in association with stage II or greater multiple myeloma. Treatment prior to transplant will include cyclophosphamide, ATGAM (a lymphocyte-specific immunosuppressant), local radiation to the thymus, and cyclosporine (an immunosuppressive drug).

An infusion of donor bone marrow and a kidney graft from a closely matched, related donor will be transplanted simultaneously. An additional infusion of donor white blood cells may be administered between day 45 and 74 after transplant in an effort to eliminate any remaining cancer cells. Patients will remain on cyclosporine for a defined period of time. The cyclosporine doses will be slowly decreased and stopped if graft rejection and graft-versus-host disease do not occur.

Each participant will be involved in the study for 3 years; this includes the intervention phase (time from initial screening at approximately 7 days before transplant through 100 days after the transplant) and continued follow-up visits for at least 2 years following the transplant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Combined bone marrow and kidney transplant in people with Kidney Failure, Chronic and Multiple Myeloma, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) 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?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. 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 5 Feb 2013. 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?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Remission status of multiple myeloma (time frame: Throughout study). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 5 Feb 2013.
