About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation in Adult Patients With Advanced Hematopoietic Malignancies

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, busulfan, and etoposide, before a donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving antithymocyte globulin before transplant and tacrolimus and prednisone after transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well donor umbilical cord blood transplant works in treating patients with advanced hematologic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the safety and feasibility of performing donor umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies, in terms of > 80% engraftment rate at day 100 post-transplant and ≤ 50% transplant-related mortality.

Secondary

  • Determine the toxicity of a myeloablative preparative regimen comprising busulfan, fludarabine, and etoposide prior to UCBT in these patients.
  • Determine the neutrophil and platelet recovery in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the event-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  • Evaluate lineage-specific chimerism after UCBT and assess the contribution of each individual cord blood unit to post-transplantation hematopoiesis in these patients.
  • Determine the incidence, severity, and timing of acute and chronic graft-vs-host disease in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

  • Preparative regimen: Patients receive fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -7 to -3, busulfan IV over 2 hours 4 times daily on days -7 and -4, etoposide IV over 4 hours on day -3, and anti-thymocyte globulin IV over 6 hours on days -2 and -1.
  • Donor umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT): Patients undergo donor UCBT on day 0. Beginning on day 7, patients receive sargramostim (GM-CSF) IV or subcutaneously once daily until blood counts recover.
  • Graft-vs-host disease prophylaxis: Patients receive tacrolimus IV continuously over 24 hours or orally twice daily beginning on day -2 and continuing until day 180 followed by a taper. Patients also receive oral prednisone twice daily on days 13-50 and then once daily on days 50-60, followed by a rapid taper.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for approximately 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 10 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing anti-thymocyte globulin, sargramostim and busulfan in people with Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 14 Aug 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 the safety and feasibility of performing donor umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) in patients with advanced hematologic malignancies (time frame: up to 24 months 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 14 Aug 2013.
