Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 1 year to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with CML, AML, MDS or ALL relapsed after related or unrelated donor allogeneic marrow transplantation.
  • Patients must be within one year of identification of relapse or if beyond that time period, must have some evidence of donor DNA by RFLP or cytogenetics.
  • Patients may have evidence of relapse based on molecular, cytogenetic or morphologic criteria.
  • CML patients must have cytogenetic evidence of relapse or if Ph negative to start, obvious evidence of relapse other than minimal residual disease.
  • Patients must have <30% marrow blasts on a marrow biopsy performed within two weeks of the first donor lymphocyte infusion.
  • Patients with >30% blasts can become eligible for donor lymphocytes after reinduction with any standard therapy regimen.
  • Patients with AML, MDS or ALL achieving a CR with standard therapy regimens are eligible for this protocol.
  • Patients who relapse with their initial disease or develop a second malignancy after related or unrelated donor allogeneic marrow transplantation with other initial diagnoses (such as but not limited to CLL, lymphoma, myeloma, juvenile CML, sarcoma, breast cancer) may also be included in this protocol. Patients will be eligible with or without other adjunct chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Post-transplant lymphomas (often referred to as EBV-associated lymphomas) will be eligible for donor leukocyte infusions on this protocol. Treatment with donor leukocytes under this protocol is restricted to malignant diseases only. Graft failure or relapse of non-malignant disorders is excluded from receiving donor leukocyte infusions on this protocol. Autologous transplant patients who relapse are not eligible for this protocol. Patients with malignant diseases amenable to other curative therapy are not eligible (i.e. skin cancers).

Who cannot join

  • Patients with concurrent signs of acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease requiring ongoing treatment at the time of relapse will be ineligible.
  • Patients with >30% marrow blasts at the time of therapy will be ineligible.
  • Patients on prednisone, cyclosporine, Imuran or other immunosuppressive medications are not eligible until these medications are discontinued for at least 2 weeks without a flare of GVHD.
  • CML patients in complete cytogenetic remission who are bcr/abl positive by PCR only are not eligible.

About this study

Official title: Treatment of Relapsed Leukemia After Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation Using Donor-derived Lymphocytes

In this study our hypothesis is that infusion of donor lymphocyte immune cells from the subject's bone marrow donor will activate the subject's immune system to attack their cancer.

Read the detailed description

We will collect immune cells or lymphocytes from the donor's blood using a cell separator. The blood lymphocytes will be given to the subjects through a catheter. If the subjects have no complications of the first course of infusions, we may decide to give them "lymphocytes" aa second time while subjects are in remission in an attempt to prevent their disease from relapsing. A bone marrow test will be taken prior to infusion of lymphocytes as part of the clinical evaluation to receive this treatment. After lymphocyte infusions, a bone marrow will be examined about every three months for the first year to monitor progress from this therapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Donor Lymphocyte InfusionProcedure or surgery

    Certain immune cells in your donor's blood called "lymphocytes" have been shown to fight cancer after bone marrow transplantation. We plan to transfuse large numbers of donor's "lymphocytes" in the hope of activating the recipient's immune system to attack cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Freedom of Disease: Bone marrow histology, cytogenetic analysis and RFLP will be studied. Data will be collected and tabulated.

    Measured: before, at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months after donor lymphocyte infusions

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Toxicity

    Measured: during the infusion and immediately thereafter

  2. All data concerning acute toxicity including allergic reactions, capillary leak syndrome, and other Grade 4 toxicity will be collected and tabulated.

    Measured: during the infusion,immediately thereafter, and at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year and yearly.

  3. Graft-versus-host disease will be staged using criteria routinely used in allogeneic bone marrow transplant settings and will be tabulated.

    Measured: ongoing

  4. Marrow Aplasia including duration, treatment and outcomes.

    Measured: ongoing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Donor Lymphocyte Infusion in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Chronic and AML, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota 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 8 inclusion and 4 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 29 Nov 2017. 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.

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?

Freedom of Disease: Bone marrow histology, cytogenetic analysis and RFLP will be studied. Data will be collected and tabulated. (time frame: before, at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months after donor lymphocyte infusions). 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 29 Nov 2017.
