About this study

Official title: Transplantation of Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood for Patients With Hematological Diseases With Cyclophosphamide/Fludarabine/Total Body Irradiation Myeloablative Preparative Regimen

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, and total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells and prepares the patient's bone marrow for the stem 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 cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving fludarabine and cyclophosphamide together with total-body irradiation works in treating patients who are undergoing an umbilical cord blood transplant for hematologic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the 1-year survival of patients undergoing unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) for hematologic malignancies treated with myeloablative preparative regimen comprising fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and fractionated total-body irradiation.

Secondary

  • Determine the incidence of transplant-related mortality at 6 months after UCBT.
  • Evaluate the pattern of chimerism after double UCBT.
  • Determine the incidence of neutrophil engraftment at day 42 after UCBT.
  • Determine the incidence of platelet engraftment at 6 months after UCBT.
  • Determine the incidence of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) at day 100 after UCBT.
  • Determine the incidence of chronic GVHD at 1 year after UCBT.
  • Determine the disease-free survival at 1 and 2 years after UCBT.
  • Determine the incidence of relapse at 1 year after UCBT.

OUTLINE: This is a nonrandomized, open-label, multicenter study.

  • Preparative Regimen: Patients receive fludarabine IV over 1 hour on days -8 to -6 and cyclophosphamide IV on days -7 and -6. Patients also undergo total-body irradiation twice daily on days -4 to -1.
  • Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation (UCBT): Patients undergo 1 or 2 units of UCBT on day 0. Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) IV once daily beginning on day 1 and continuing until blood counts recover.
  • Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receive cyclosporine IV over 2 hours 2 or 3 times daily beginning on day -3 and continuing until day 100 followed by a taper until day 180. Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil IV or orally 2 or 3 times a day beginning on day -3 and continuing until day 30 or 7 days after engraftment in the absence of acute GVHD.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for at least 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 150 patients will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

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

  • filgrastimBiological

    Also called G-CSF

    All patients will receive G-CSF 5 mcg/kg/day intravenously(IV) (dose rounded to vial size) based on the actual body weight IV beginning on day +1 after umbilical cord blood (UCB) infusion. G-CSF will be administered daily until the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) exceeds 2.5 x 10^9/L for three consecutive days.

  • cyclophosphamideDrug

    Cyclophosphamide to be administered with high volume fluid flush and mesna (MT(S) 9006) at 10:00am, or per institutional routine, on days-7 and -6 after fludarabine. Cyclophosphamide 60mg/kg/day intravenous (IV) x 2 days, total dose 120 mg/kg (days -7 and -6) Dosing is calculated based on Actual BodyWeight (ABW) unless ABW > 30 kg above Ideal BodyWeight (IBW), in which case the dose should be computed using adjusted body weight.

    All patients will begin mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on day -3. Patients ≥ 40 kilograms will receive MMF at the dose of 3 grams/day divided into 2 or 3 doses (every 12 or 8 hours).

    Pediatric patient (<40 kilograms) will receive MMF at the dose of 15 mg/kg three times a day.

  • umbilical cord blood transplantationProcedure or surgery

    Also called UCBT

    The product is infused via intravenous (IV) drip directly into the central line without a needle, pump or filter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, cyclophosphamide and cyclosporine in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota at 2 sites 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 14 inclusion and 7 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 10 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 10 Sep 2020). 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?

Number of Participants Who Were Alive at 1 Year Transplant Overall Survival (time frame: at 1 year). 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 NCT00309842, which also lists 2 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 10 Sep 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
