Trial summary

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, before a donor bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of abnormal cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's bone marrow. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Dose-Finding Study for Cyclophosphamide as Conditioning Regimens for Bone Marrow Transplantation From Related Donors in Patients With Fanconi Anemia

RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, before a donor bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of abnormal cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's bone marrow. The donated bone marrow stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining abnormal cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and methotrexate before or after transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of cyclophosphamide in treating patients who are undergoing a donor bone marrow transplant for Fanconi's anemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Decrease the conditioning-related toxicity of cyclophosphamide without decreasing the engraftment rate to < 90% in patients undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for Fanconi's anemia.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-finding study of cyclophosphamide.

  • Nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV on days -5 to -2.

Cohorts of 5-10 patients receive decreasing doses of cyclophosphamide until the optimal dose (OD) is determined. The OD is defined as the dose at which ≥ 4 of 5 patients achieve engraftment and < 1 of 10 patients experiences dose-limiting toxicity.

  • Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT): Patients undergo allogeneic BMT on day 0.
  • Graft-vs-host-disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receive cyclosporine orally or IV twice daily beginning on day -1 and continuing until day 49, followed by a taper on days 50-180 in the absence of GVHD. Patients also receive methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11.

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

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 27 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine and methotrexate in people with Fanconi Anemia, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 3 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Brazil. 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?

Conditioning-related toxicity (time frame: 100 days post-transplant). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Apr 2012.
