About this study

Official title: High-Dose Chemotherapy With Tandem Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) Rescue for the Treatment of High-Risk Pediatric Solid Tumors.

This study uses a double autologous peripheral blood stem cell rescue (PBSC) following dose-intensive chemotherapy for the treatment of high-risk pediatric solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

Significant advances have been made in recent years in the treatment of solid tumors of childhood. However, much of the improvement in survival has been made in low stage and localized disease. Of significance is the fact that the improvements have come in up-front remission rates without translation into significantly high event-free survival(EFS) or overall survival (OS). This is despite the fact that these tumors as a whole are largely chemotherapy responsive.

Recent advances in the understanding of the biology of hematopoeitic stem cells have driven the design of treatment regimens that allow for dose intensification without unacceptable hematologic toxicity. Protocol development has focused on active agents that have a broad range between hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities. This study uses a double autologous peripheral blood stem cell rescue (PBSC) following dose-intensive chemotherapy for the treatment of high-risk pediatric solid tumors. This study utilizes PBSC to limit the risk of tumor cell contamination while retaining prompt hematologic recovery from these highly intensified treatments.

What participants receive

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

  • High-Dose Chemotherapy with Tandem PBSC Rescue.Drug

    Also called Cyclophosphamide call also be referred to as Cytoxan

    Patients on this study will undergo a tandem Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Rescue following high-dose chemotherapy. The first Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Rescue will consist of Etoposide, Carboplatin, Cyclophosphamide, and Mesna. Once the patient recovers, the patient will be evaluated again and will then undergo a second stem cell transplant consisting of the chemotherapy drugs; Melphalan, Cyclophosphamide, and Mesna.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the feasibility and toxicity of tandem PBSC rescue following high dose chemotherapy as consolidation in pediatric patients with high risk solid tumors.

    Measured: annually

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Evaluate length of remission and long term disease free survival in chemotherapy responsive high-risk pediatric solid tumor patients treated using this approach.

    Measured: Annually

  2. Evaluate correlation between cell dose and time to engraftment in high-risk pediatric solid tumor patients treated using this approach.

    Measured: Time to engraftment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing High-Dose Chemotherapy with Tandem PBSC Rescue. in people with Ewing's Sarcoma and Soft Tissue Sarcoma, run by Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago 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 37 inclusion and 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Oct 2010. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Morris Kletzel, M.D. (773.880.4000 ext. 4564, mkletzel@northwestern.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determine the feasibility and toxicity of tandem PBSC rescue following high dose chemotherapy as consolidation in pediatric patients with high risk solid tumors. (time frame: annually). 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 11 Oct 2010; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
