About this study

Official title: Busulfan, Cyclophosphamide, and Melphalan Followed by Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Patients With Hematological Malignancies

This protocol using busulfan, cyclophosphamide and melphalan has been designed as conditioning therapy for patients receiving stem cell transplantation for acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The hypothesis is that this new regimen will be well tolerated and will cure the patient.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be admitted to the bone marrow transplant unit and put in isolation to reduce exposure to infectious agents.

Prior to transplantation, they will receive BUSULFAN via the central venous line, four times a day for four days, CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE via the central venous line once a day for two days, and MELPHALAN via the central venous line for one day. Busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and melphalan are given to destroy the subject's cancer. As well, these drugs will destroy their immune system to help ensure the new stem cells take and grow after transplantation.

On the day of transplantation, umbilical cord blood from the donor will be transfused via venous line. These new cells will replace the subject's bone marrow.

After transplantation, the subjects will receive Cyclosporin A and either MMF or MTX

Isolation will be continued until adequate numbers of cells are present in the blood to fight infection. Subjects will be discharged from the hospital when medically ready. They will be expected to return for follow-up to the blood and marrow transplant clinic at specific dates as determined by physicians.

What participants receive

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

  • Stem Cell TransplantProcedure or surgery

    Also called Bone Marrow Transplant, umbilical cord transplant, hematopoietic stem cell transplant

    Certain cancers can be treated by giving patients stem cells that come from someone else. This is called a stem-cell transplant. As part of the transplant process, patients receive high doses of chemotherapy and/or radiation to treat their underlying disease, such as cancer. As one of its effects, this treatment also kills the healthy stem cells that are already in the marrow. The transplant provides new stem cells for the patient from a healthy donor; that replace the bone marrow and allow the blood counts to recover.

  • BusulfanDrug

    Also called Busulfex, Myleran

    Prior to transplantation, subjects will receive BUSULFAN via the central venous line, four times a day for four days (days -7 through -4).

  • CyclophosphamideDrug

    Also called Cytoxan, Neosar

    Prior to stem cell transplantation, subjects will receive CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE via the central venous line once a day for two days on days -3 and -2.

  • MelphalanDrug

    Also called Alkeran

    MELPHALAN will be given via the central venous line for one day, on day -1, prior to stem cell transplantation.

  • G-CSFDrug

    Also called granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, Filgrastim, Neupogen

    G-CSF is to be given daily IV beginning on day +1 until ANC 2.5 x 109/L.

  • ATGDrug

    Also called antithymocyte globulin

    ATG will be administered to umbilical cord blood recipients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Probability of Long-term Disease-free Survival (DFS)

    Number of participants with long-term disease free survival after being treated with busulfan (BU), cyclophosphamide (CY) and melphalan (L-PAM) followed by HCT for hematological malignancies.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Probability of Engraftment

    Number of participants with engraftment after being treated with busulfan (BU), cyclophosphamide (CY) and melphalan (L-PAM) followed by HCT for hematological malignancies..

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Incidence of Acute Graft-versus-host Disease (GVHD)

    Number of participants with acute GVHD after being treated with busulfan (BU), cyclophosphamide (CY) and melphalan (L-PAM) followed by HCT for hematological malignancies.

    Measured: 100 days post-transplant

  3. Incidence Chronic Graft-versus-host Disease (GVHD)

    Number of participants with chronic GVHD after being treated with busulfan (BU), cyclophosphamide (CY) and melphalan (L-PAM) followed by HCT for hematological malignancies.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Incidence of Regimen-related Toxicity 100 Days Post Transplant

    Number of participants with regimen-related toxicity 100 days post transplant after being treated with busulfan (BU), cyclophosphamide (CY) and melphalan (L-PAM) followed by HCT for hematological malignancies.

    Measured: 100 days post-transplant

  5. Incidence of Relapse

    Number of patients with relapse after being treated with busulfan (BU), cyclophosphamide (CY) and melphalan (L-PAM) followed by HCT for hematological malignancies.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Stem Cell Transplant, Busulfan and Cyclophosphamide in people with Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Acute 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 12 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 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.

What does this combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 13 Feb 2013). 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?

Probability of Long-term Disease-free Survival (DFS) (time frame: 1 year). 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 Dec 2017.
