About this study

Official title: Pegfilgrastim Versus Filgrastim - Intraindividual Comparison of Quantity and Quality of Mobilized Peripheral Blood Stem Cells in Patients With Non Hodgkin-lymphoma

The purpose of this study is to compare the ability of pegfilgrastim vs. filgrastim to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells in patients with Non Hodgkin-lymphoma in an intraindividual study

Read the detailed description

Patients with Non Hodgkin-lymphoma undergoing stem cell mobilization for planned high-dose therapy will be treated with two cycles of chemotherapy (etoposide, ifosfamide, cisplatin, epirubicin), either followed by daily administration of filgrastim (first cycle) or pegfilgrastim (once after the second cycle). The number of circulating cluster of differentiation 34+ cells, colony-forming units and primitive progenitors will be analyzed at corresponding time points. Peripheral blood stem cells will be collected after the second cycle of chemotherapy by leukapheresis. After the second cycle, high-dose therapy with peripheral blood stem cell support will be administered (the protocol will be chosen according to the diagnosis, including total body irradiation-containing regimens).

What is being measured

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

  1. Hematopoietic recovery after autologous stem cell transplantation

    Two cycles of conventional chemotherapy are given. Starting one day after the first cycle, filgrastim (5ug/kg bodyweight daily subcutaneously) is routinely administered to support neutrophil recovery. One day after the second cycle, a single dose of pegfilgrastim (6mg) is given to support neutrophil recovery and stem cell collection. Hematopoietic recovery (blood count) is monitored daily after high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. Follow up assessments are performed 3-monthly for late graft failure

    Measured: 1-3 weeks after transplantation, follow up every 3 months (up to 2 years)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Intraindividual comparison of quantity/quality of circulating stem cells

    Circulating stem cells are enumerated by flow cytometry and colony assays during filgrastim (intraindividual control) and pegfilgrastim-supported recovery from chemotherapy.

    Measured: before and during 3 weeks after conventional chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pegfilgrastim in people with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by University Hospital Tuebingen at 1 site in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 29 May 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 Germany. 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?

Hematopoietic recovery after autologous stem cell transplantation (time frame: 1-3 weeks after transplantation, follow up every 3 months (up to 2 years)). 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 29 May 2014.
