About this study

Official title: Soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor: Enbrel (Etanercept) for the Treatment of Sub-Acute Pulmonary Dysfunction Following Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation. A Phase II Study

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of etanercept in the treatment of patients with sub-acute lung injury following a bone marrow transplant. This study will also examine the toxicity of treatment with etanercept as well as whether there is an improved quality of life in these patients.

Read the detailed description

Lung or breathing problems can develop several months to years following a bone marrow transplant. In some cases, these breathing problems develop without any signs of germs or infection in the lungs. The name for this type of breathing problem is called "Sub-Acute Lung Injury". Sub-acute lung injury often develops many months, even years following a bone marrow transplant. It is often characterized by shortness of breath, cough, wheezing and fatigue.

Sub-acute lung injury can either lead to the formation of scar tissue in the lungs (making it difficult to take deep breaths), or it can cause the lungs to get weak (making people feel out of breath easily). Approximately 25 - 50% of patients with sub-acute lung injury may eventually die from the damage in their lungs. Typically, such patients die from infections that develop inside the damaged lungs.

In this study, treatment with an experimental drug called Etanercept will be used. (Enbrel). The physicians feel there is the possibility that Etanercept may help improve breathing. Breathing ability will be assessed prior to treatment as well as during and after treatment so that comparisons can be made.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EtanerceptDrug

    Also called Enbrel

    Etanercept will be given on an open label, single arm basis to patients with non-infectious, sub-acute lung injury. 0.4 mg/kg/dose to a maximum of 25 mg, subcutaneously, twice weekly, for a total of 24 dosages.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent of Patients With a Greater Than or Equal to 10% Improvement in FEV1, or FVC, and DLCO

    Response was defined as a greater than or equal to 10% improvement in the absolute value for FEV1 (for obstructive defects) or FVC (for restrictive defects), and DLCO (Diffusing Capacity of the Lungs for Carbon Monoxide) .

    Measured: week 12 post therapy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of Participants That Experience Grade 3 to 4 Adverse Events

    To evaluate the toxicity of etanercept therapy in patients with sub-acute lung injury > 100 days post transplant, the percent incidence of grade 3 to 4 adverse events among evaluable patients was calculated.

    Measured: continuously (and week 4, week 8 and week 12, week 20)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Etanercept in people with Lung Injury, Acute and Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Adult, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 3 Dec 2015. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jun 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percent of Patients With a Greater Than or Equal to 10% Improvement in FEV1, or FVC, and DLCO (time frame: week 12 post therapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00141726, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2015.
