  • Patients with myeloma or plasma cell neoplasms who are :
  • stage III at presentation.
  • stage I-II at presentation but were not responding or progressed after first line therapy.
  • Patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or Waldenström's macroglobulinemia who progressed after first-line therapy.

  • Cardiac disease of symptomatic nature; < 25% ejection fraction.
  • Severe renal disease; creatinine > 2.O mg/dl or creatinine clearance < 40 ml/min. (Corrected for age)
  • Severe pulmonary disease < 60% normal (FEV1 \& FVC).
  • Severe hepatic disease; bilirubin >2.0, and/or transaminase > 3 x normal corrected for age.
  • Karnofsky performance status of < 60%.
  • Patients with evidence of HIV infection by western blot.
  • Any conditions, in the opinion of the transplant team such as substance abuse, or severe personality disorder that would keep the patients from complying with the needs of the protocol and would markedly increase the morbidity and mortality from the procedure.

About this study

Official title: Low-Intensity Preparative Regimen and Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation From Unrelated Donor in Patients With Hematologic Malignancy

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a less-intensive preparative therapy followed by an allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantation will provide an effective treatment for your disease and whether it will be associated with fewer side effects.

Read the detailed description

Combinations of high-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy (preparative regimen) followed with allogeneic bone marrow or stem cell transplantation from an unrelated donor is a current treatment approach. Chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation are given in higher doses to increase their effectiveness. High-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy generally affect cells that are dividing. They are used to treat cancer because cancer cells divide more often than most other cells. High-dose treatment severely damages the patient's bone marrow so that the patient no longer is able to produce needed blood cells. Peripheral stem cell transplantation allows stem cells that were damaged by treatment to be replaced with healthy stem cells that can produce the blood cells the patient needs. Patients experience a number of complications after transplantation. Some are temporary and relatively minor; yet others can be life threatening. Many doctors consider high-dose chemotherapy, by itself or with radiation, and bone marrow or stem cell transplantation as the best available treatment option for diseases under specific circumstances. However, this study will explore whether a less-intensive preparative therapy before the peripheral stem cell transplantation will prove to be safer, have less side effects, and be an effective treatment for certain diseases.

What is being measured

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

  1. - To evaluate the toxicity of low-intensity regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplantation from an unrelated donor.

  2. - To evaluate the engraftment, and chimerism.

  3. - To estimate the rate of acute GVHD, relapse and survival.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Reduced intensity conditioning with allogeneic transplant in people with Myeloma, Plasma-Cell and Lymphoma, Malignant, 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 18 inclusion and 7 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 9 Aug 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 evaluate the toxicity of low-intensity regimen for allogeneic stem cell transplantation from an unrelated donor.. The study lists 3 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 9 Aug 2012.
