About this study

Official title: A Randomized Comparison of Dendritic Cell Content and T-Cell Phenotype Between G-CSF(Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor)or G-CSF+GM-CSF (Granulocyte Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor) for the Mobilization of Normal Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Donors

This is a study involving patients who are undergoing allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Both donors and recipients are being sought for this study.

Read the detailed description

Patients with leukemia will receive a stem cell transplant, prior to which they will receive medication and/or radiation to destroy all leukemia cells as well as other blood cells. In order to survive this treatment, patients will need to be given the stem cells from another person to replace the blood cells killed by the treatment.

The stem cells given to the recipient will be collected from a relative. To increase the number of stem cells in the relative, he/she is given a growth factor to increase the number of stem cells prior to collection. The standard growth factor used is called G-CSF(Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor ). In this research study, the physician will give the relative either G-CSF or a combination of G-CSF and GM-CSF (Granulocyte Macrophage (GM)) , another type of growth factor. Whether the relative receives G-CSF or GM-CSF will be determined by chance. The donors will be randomized to one or the other. It is not known if the stem cells and white blood cells collected using one or both growth factors results in more cures for this disease and fewer side effects, such as graft-versus-host disease.

The reason for doing the study is to determine if the stem cells and other white blood cells collected are any different when different growth factors are given, and to see how well the patient does. The stem cell transplant will in every other way be the same. The only difference is that if the recipient and donor decide to be in this study, the donor will either be given only G-CSF or the combination of G-CSF and GM-CSF and the recipient will receive the stem cells collected.

What participants receive

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

  • G-CSFDrug

    Also called Rhu

    G-CSF, solution given subcutaneously twice per day, total dosage varies by weight.

  • GM-CSFDrug

    Also called NSC#617589

    GM-CSF, solution given subcutaneously twice per day, total dosage varies by weight.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure the pDC (Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells )Content of the Graft

    Measured: at transplant (1 day)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Median Survival of Recipients of Grafts Mobilized With GM+G+CSF (Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF)+ Granulocyte Macrophage (GM)-CSF) and G-CSF (Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor )at the Time of Last Follow up.

    Median overall survival

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing G-CSF and GM-CSF in people with Hematologic Diseases, run by Emory University 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 3 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 14 Sep 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Sep 2012). 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?

Measure the pDC (Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells )Content of the Graft (time frame: at transplant (1 day)). 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 14 Sep 2012.
