Trial summary

Due to an overall and disease free survival of 85% to 100%, allogeneic blood or bone marrow stem cell transplantation using an HLA matched sibling donor is the therapy of choice for patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Unfortunately, only about 25% of patients have such a donor. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) From Partially Matched Family Donors for Patients With Refractory Severe Aplastic Anemia or Refractory Cytopenias: A Pilot Study

Due to an overall and disease free survival of 85% to 100%, allogeneic blood or bone marrow stem cell transplantation using an HLA matched sibling donor is the therapy of choice for patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Unfortunately, only about 25% of patients have such a donor. For patients with SAA lacking a matched sibling donor, immunosuppressive therapy is the current treatment of choice. Approximately 70% of these patients have a complete or partial response to immunosuppressive therapy, achieving transfusion independence and/or growth factor independence.

For the approximately 30% of patients who do not respond to immunosuppressive therapy or experience recurrence, alternative donor (matched unrelated, partially matched family member) transplantation is a treatment option. However, graft rejection and graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) are significant barriers to success, decreasing event-free survival to 30% to 50%.

This study offers stem cell transplantation using a partially matched family member (haploidentical) donor to those patients with no available HLA-matched sibling or matched unrelated donor. In an attempt to reduce GVHD and regimen-related toxicity while maintaining adequate engraftment, we plan to infuse a highly purified stem cell graft. The Miltenyi Biotec CliniMACS CD3 depletion system will be used to derive a defined allogeneic graft highly enriched for CD34+ hematopoietic cells and depleted of CD3+ T-lymphocytes from G-CSF mobilized, donor-derived peripheral blood stem cells.

Patients 21 years of age and younger with refractory cytopenias are also eligible for this protocol as there are no other potentially curative therapies currently available for these conditions.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of transplantation using a haploidentical donor product engineered to targeted cell counts using the investigational CliniMACS device for patients with refractory severe aplastic anemia (SAA) or refractory cytopenias. The treatment plan would be considered unsafe if we can find this type of procedure is associated with a significantly higher treatment failure rate. Treatment failure is defined as any occurrence of the following events, overall grade III-IV acute GVHD, graft failure or death due to any cause within 100 days after transplant.

Read the detailed description

Secondary objectives for this protocol include the following:

  • To observe the degree of hematopoietic chimerism in T-cells during the first year posttransplant.
  • To observe the relative proportions of donor/host T-regulatory cells during the first year posttransplant.
  • To monitor rates of acute and chronic GVHD during the first year posttransplant.

What participants receive

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

  • Allogeneic stem cell transplantDevice

    Also called Allogeneic stem cell transplantation, Haploidentical stem cell transplant, T-cell depletion, Partially matched family member donor transplant

    Participants will receive a reduced intensity conditioning regimen consisting of fludarabine, thiotepa, melphalan, and OKT3 followed by an infusion of haploidentical stem cells. Rituximab will be administered within 24 hours of the infusion in an effort to prevent posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder LPD. In addition to T-cell depletion of the donor product, participant will receive mycophenolate mofetil for prophylaxis of GVHD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment Failures

    The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of HAPLO HSCT for patients with refractory severe aplastic anemia (SAA) or refractory cytopenias. The treatment plan would be considered unsafe if we can demonstrate that it is associated with a significantly higher treatment failure rate. The treatment failure is defined as any occurrence of the following events, overall grade III-IV acute GVHD, graft failure or death due to any cause within 100 days post HSCT or after the last cellular product infusion, if required.

    Measured: 100 days post transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Allogeneic stem cell transplant in people with Anemia, Aplastic and Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia, run by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital 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 11 inclusion and 5 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 30 May 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 May 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?

Treatment Failures (time frame: 100 days post transplant). 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 30 May 2017.
