About this study

Official title: Tandem Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Primary Progressive or Poor Risk Recurrent Hodgkin's Disease

RATIONALE: Giving two autologous stem cell transplants (one after the other) may be an effective treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving two autologous stem cell transplants works in treating patients with progressive or recurrent Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the 3-year progression-free survival of patients with progressive or recurrent Hodgkin's lymphoma treated with tandem autologous stem cell transplantation (2 courses of high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell rescue).
  • Determine the response rate in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study. Patients are stratified according to risk (poor risk [primary progressive, recurrent, or resistant relapse] vs good risk [first recurrence]).

  • Salvage therapy (for patients with relapsed disease after achieving a previous complete response): Patients receive at least 2 courses of salvage chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
  • Autologous hematopoietic stem cell collection: Patients undergo autologous hematopoietic stem cell collection. Patients with an inadequate number of collected stem cells are removed from the study.
  • First preparative regimen: Patients receive high-dose melphalan IV continuously over 16 hours on day -1.
  • First autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT): Patients undergo autologous SCT on day 0. They also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) IV over 30 minutes once daily beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood counts recover. At least 4-8 weeks later, patients proceed to second preparative regimen.
  • Second preparative regimen: Patients receive high-dose carmustine IV over 1-2 hours on days -6, -5, and -4, etoposide IV over 4 hours on day -3, and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on day -2. Beginning 36-48 hours later, patients proceed to the second autologous SCT (day 0).
  • Second autologous SCT: Patients undergo second autologous SCT on day 0. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) IV over 30 minutes once daily beginning on day 5 and continuing until blood counts recover.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 34 patients will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival

    Outcome is based on the number of patients who were alive without progression or relapse within 1 year. Progression is defined as a 50% increase in the sum of products of all measurable lesions.

    Measured: one year after second transplant

  2. Response Rate

    Number of patients that receive a Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR)or Progression. CR defined as complete disappearance of all measurable and evaluable disease and no new lesions. PR is defined as >/= 50% decrease in the sum of products of all measurable lesions. Progression is defined as a 50% increase in the sum of products of all measurable lesions.

    Measured: One year after second transplant

  3. Number of Patients That Experience Pulmonary Toxicity

    Pulmonary toxicity are due to side effects that medicinal drugs cause to the lungs.

    Measured: One year after second transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, busulfan and cyclophosphamide in people with Lymphoma, run by Case 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?

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 20 Nov 2013. 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 26 Aug 2013). 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?

Progression-free Survival (time frame: one year after second transplant). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Nov 2013.
