About this study

Official title: Soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor: Enbrel® (Etanercept) for the Treatment of Acute Non-Infectious Pulmonary Dysfunction (Idiopathic Pneumonia Syndrome) Following Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

This phase II trial is studying how well etanercept works in treating young patients with idiopathic pneumonia syndrome after undergoing a donor stem cell transplant. Etanercept may be effective in treating patients with idiopathic pneumonia syndrome after undergoing a donor stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the response rate, defined as survival and complete discontinuation of supplemental oxygen at day 28, in pediatric patients with acute noninfectious pulmonary dysfunction (idiopathic pneumonia syndrome [IPS]) after undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation treated with etanercept.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Estimate the day 56 survival rate in patients treated with this drug. II. Determine the overall survival distribution in patients treated with this drug.

III. Determine the pulmonary response, as defined as the time to discontinuation of supplemental oxygen, in patients treated with this drug.

IV. Evaluate the toxicity of etanercept therapy in patients with IPS. V. Evaluate levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, in both bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and serum, in patients with IPS.

VI. Describe C-reactive protein (CRP) levels at baseline, day 7, 14, 21, and 28 and their association with response in patients with IPS.

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

Patients receive etanercept IV over 30 minutes on day 0 and subcutaneously on days 3, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, and 24. Treatment continues in the absence of an infectious pathogen, disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive methylprednisolone (or corticosteroid equivalent) IV on days 0-2 and then orally with a taper until day 56.

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Response of IPS (Idiopathic Pneumonia Syndrome) to Etanercept Plus Corticosteroid Therapy by Day 28.

    Response to therapy is defined as survival to Day 28 of study, PLUS complete discontinuation all supplemental oxygen support by Day 28 of study. Subjects must be able to remain off all supplemental oxygen support for > 72 consecutive hours. Subjects who discontinue supplemental oxygen within the last 72 hours of the observation period will be followed until they have completed 72 consecutive hours off oxygen or failed prior to assessing response.

    Measured: At day 28

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Survival Rate

    Estimated Day 56 survival rate following initiation of etanercept + corticosteroid therapy for patients with IPS.

    Measured: Up to day 56

  2. Estimate Percentage Pulmonary Response in Patients With IPS Treated With Etanercept + Corticosteroid Therapy

    Pulmonary response is defined as alive \& come off of oxygen .

    Measured: up to day 56

  3. Toxicity of Etanercept Plus Corticosteroid Therapy Using the Common Terminology Criteria Version 4.0

    Grade 3-5 organ toxicities attributable to etanercept.

    Measured: Up to 56 days

  4. Plasma Cytokine IL6 Level

    Estimated mean and standard error of IL6 level

    Measured: From baseline to days 7 and 28

  5. C-reactive Protein Levels

    Estimated mean and standard deviation

    Measured: From baseline to days 7, 14, 21, and 28

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing etanercept and methylprednisolone in people with Accelerated Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia and Blastic Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, run by Children's Oncology Group at 26 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 41 inclusion and 0 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 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 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 14 Feb 2014). 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?

Response of IPS (Idiopathic Pneumonia Syndrome) to Etanercept Plus Corticosteroid Therapy by Day 28. (time frame: At day 28). 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 Sep 2017.
