About this study

Official title: T-cel and B-cell Depletion in Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation by Using Immunomagnetic Negative and Positive Selection Procedures

T-cell and B-cell depletion in allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation by using immunomagnetic negative and positive selection procedures

Background:

Read more

Removal of T-cells from the donor graft (T-cell depletion) offers the possibility for prevention of GVHD and subsequently less transplant related morbidity and mortality after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). There are several techniques to deplete T-cells from the stem cell grafts e.g. physical, immunological and combined physical / immunological separation methods. All these techniques result in a stem cell graft with sufficient CD34+ stem cells combined with an adequate depletion of T and B cells. CD34+ selected stem cell grafts are very pure and do not contain any additional cell populations. In contrast, CD3+/CD19+ depleted grafts still contain NK-cells, monocytes and dendritic cells that are part of the innate immune system. Theoretically,the presence of these cells may positively influence immunological reconstitution and the graft-versus-leukaemia (GVL) effect, respectively, resulting in improved outcome after SCT

Objectives:

To evaluate the differences in immunological reconstitution, transplant related mortality, disease-free survival and overall survival after T-cell depleted allogeneic SCT for haematological malignancies using either immunomagnetic CD34+ selection or immunomagnetic CD3+/CD19+ depletion using the CliniMACS system in approximately 270 consecutive patients.

Additionally in this study in 20 consecutive patients the kinetics of NK-cel reconstitution and differences in NK-cell repertoire will be monitored. NK-cell mediated anti-tumor reactivity will be monitored in patients transplanted with and without NK-cells in the stem cell graft (CD3+/CD19+ depletion, versus CD34+ selection). Secondary objectives are to evaluate the clinical relevance of minor histocompatibility-specific cytotoxic T-cell responses for the GVL effect, the kinetics of NK-cell reconstitution and differences in NK-cell repertoire using the different T-cell depletion protocols.

Design:

Single center prospective randomised phase III study

Population:

Patients eligible for allogeneic SCT according to the standard criteria of our institution who will receive an allogeneic T- and B-cell depleted SCT with peripheral stem cells of an HLA-identical sibling donor or an HLA-identical unrelated voluntary (VUD) donor.

Intervention:

T-cell depletion will be conducted using two different techniques: either immunomagnetic CD34+ selection or immunomagnetic CD3+/CD19+ depletion.

Endpoints:

Primary endpoints are immunological reconstitution, relapse, disease free survival and overall survival. Secondary endpoints: NK-cell reconstitution and NK-cell mediated anti-tumour reactivity. Cytotoxic T-cell responses for the GVL effect.

Estimated efforts and risks for participating patients:

We don't expect any extra patient efforts or risks because T-cell depletion is a standard procedure in our clinic for many years. There is extensive experience with immunological T-cell depletion techniques. We hypothesize CD3+/CD19+ depletion will favour stem cell transplant outcome. Immunological and molecular biological studies will be performed on blood samples already obtained as part of the standard protocol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing T-cell and B-cell depletion in people with Leukemia, Myeloid and Leukemia, Lymphocytic, run by Radboud University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 13 inclusion and 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Aug 2009. 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 Netherlands. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Interim analysis has shown that the objectives of this study can not be reached). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

relapse. 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00306332, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 18 Aug 2009.
