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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • To be eligible as a recipient for this study, patients must have chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) in chronic phase and be older than 60 years of age, have advanced myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and be over 60 years of age, have chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and be over 50 years of age, or have low grade lymphoma and be over 50 years of age. HLA typing of the recipient's family will be used to identify potential donors. Please contact study nurse for additional eligibility criteria. Final eligibility will be determined by the health professionals conducting this clinical trial.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with an active, invasive/systemic fungal infection and patients with serologic evidence of antibodies to HIV I/II will be excluded from participating as recipients in this study. Additional exclusion factors include: patients who are pregnant or lactating, those with active central nervous system (CNS) malignant disease, and patients whose life expectancy is limited by diseases other than the disease for which the transplant is being performed. Please contact study nurse for additional ineligibility criteria. Final eligibility will be determined by the health professionals conducting this clinical trial.

About this study

This is a research study involving the treatment of leukemia or lymphoma (lymph gland cancer) in adults who have leukemia or lymphoma that is unlikely to be cured with regular anticancer drugs or radiation treatments.

Read the detailed description

This is a research study involving the treatment of leukemia or lymphoma (lymph gland cancer) in adults who have leukemia or lymphoma that is unlikely to be cured with regular anticancer drugs or radiation treatments. Intensive treatment with high doses of chemotherapy followed by a bone marrow transplant (BMT) from an HLA-(tissue-type) matched related donor would provide the best chance for cure of this leukemia or lymphoma. However, the success of BMT from relatives is limited in patients who are older than 50 years and/or have organ dysfunction by substantial complications due to the high dose chemotherapy related toxicity, graft-versus- host disease (GVHD), and relapse. Patients eligible for this study have an HLA matched sibling, but a BMT from the sibling would carry a high risk for severe side effects due to the patient's age, and/or organ dysfunction.

Researchers are evaluating a new treatment for adult patients with leukemia and lymphoma which involves regular dose chemotherapy and blood stem cell transplantation from an HLA-matched relative, with injections of donor immune cells (a type of white blood cells) given if you later relapse. In this study, the safety and feasibility of this treatment strategy are being investigated.

What participants receive

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

  • chemotherapy and blood stem cell transplantationProcedure or surgery

    A combination of conventional dose chemotherapy, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) mobilized HLA-identical related allogeneic PBSC transplant, and post transplant infusions of donor leukocytes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine if conventional dose chemotherapy followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant and short course immunosuppression provide stable, sustained mixed donor-host chimerism.

    Measured: 100 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Determine degree of donor-derived hematopoiesis and disease status on day +21, +40, +90, +140, and 180; overall survival and disease free survival at 6 months.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing chemotherapy and blood stem cell transplantation 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 12 Aug 2014. 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?

Determine if conventional dose chemotherapy followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant and short course immunosuppression provide stable, sustained mixed donor-host chimerism. (time frame: 100 days). 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 12 Aug 2014.
