About this study

Official title: Open Label Phase II Trial of Sirolimus in Combination With Tacrolimus for Graft-vs-Host Disease Prophylaxis After Matched, Related Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of sirolimus to prevent graft versus host disease (GVHD) in patients following stem cell transplant from a related donor.

Read the detailed description
  • Therapy to prevent GVHD will consist of an infusion of tacrolimus intravenously and sirolimus orally once per day starting 3 days before stem cell infusion. This will take place in the hospital where the patient will remain for the duration of the transplant.
  • Sirolimus will continue for 9 weeks at at stable dose, then will be tapered by 1/3 on week 9 and 1/3 on week 17. It will be stopped on week 26 if there is no significant evidence of GVHD. These dose modifications will occur at home and patients will be seen weekly for the first 2 months after discharge.
  • If GVHD is present, the tapering schedule wil be slower and based upon the patient's clinical condition.
  • Tacrolimus will be given orally once the patient is discharged from the hospital and will be tapered at the same schedule as sirolimus. Blood levels of both tacrolimus and sirolimus will be monitored and the dose adjusted accordingly.
  • During the year following stem cell transplant, blood work will be performed to evaluate the immune system and GVHD.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the feasibility of using sirolimus and tacrolimus without methotrexate for GVHD prophylaxis after stem cell transplantation.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To compare the rates of grade II-IV and III-IV acute GVHD with historical controls

  2. to determine the incidence of 100 day mortality after stem cell transplant using this regimen

  3. to determine the overall survival at 1 year after transplantation in this patient population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sirolimus and Tacrolimus in people with Hematologic Malignancies and Myelogenous Leukemia, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute 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 26 Jan 2012. 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?

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?

To determine the feasibility of using sirolimus and tacrolimus without methotrexate for GVHD prophylaxis after stem cell transplantation.. 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 26 Jan 2012.
