What participants receive

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

  • PentostatinDrug

    Also called (Nipent®, Supergen)

    Pentostatin is given at a dose of 1.5 mg/m2/day IV x 3 consecutive days. Each IV infusion of pentostatin will be administered over 20-30 minutes in 100-250 ml of D5W or NS. To prevent nephrotoxicity, patients will also receive 500 ml normal saline as pre- and post drug hydration (total 1000 ml).

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the response rate (complete and partial) to treatment with pentostatin in steroid-refractory acute GVHD (graft-versus-host disease).

    Measured: up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Investigate the pharmacokinetics of pentostatin in patients with acute GVHD to correlate the response with area under the curve (AUC).

    Measured: up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pentostatin in people with Graft-Versus-Host Disease, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2016. 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?

Evaluate the response rate (complete and partial) to treatment with pentostatin in steroid-refractory acute GVHD (graft-versus-host disease). (time frame: up to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00201786, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Apr 2016.
