Trial summary

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide, and total-body radiation therapy before a donor peripheral stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Multi-center Phase III Study Comparing Myeloablative to Nonmyeloablative Transplant Conditioning in Patients With Myelodysplastic Syndrome or Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide, and total-body radiation therapy before a donor peripheral stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's 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. It is not yet known whether low-dose chemotherapy and total-body radiation therapy is more effective than high-dose chemotherapy in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia.

PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying low-dose conditioning to see how well it works compared to high-dose conditioning followed by peripheral blood stem cell transplant in treating patients with myelodysplastic syndromes or acute myeloid leukemia

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine whether the conditioning intensity affects outcomes after HCT in patients with MDS or AML who have < 5% marrow myeloblasts at the time of HCT.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

Arm I (Nonmyeloablative regimen):

CONDITIONING: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate IV on days -4 to -2 and undergo low-dose total-body irradiation on day 0.

TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) infusion on day 0.

GRAFT-VS-HOST DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive cyclosporine every 12 hours on days -3 to 57 with taper on days 57-177 or cyclosporine every 12 hours on days -3 to 100 with taper on days 101-177. Patients also receive oral mycophenolate mofetil every 12 hours on days 0-27 or every 8 hours on days 0-40 with taper on days 41-96.

Arm II (Myeloablative regimen):

CONDITIONING: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups.

Group A: Patients receive fludarabine IV once daily and oral busulfan four times daily or busulfan IV over 3 hours on days -5 to -2.

Group B: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1-2 hours on days -3 and -2 and oral busulfan four times daily or busulfan IV over 3 hours on days -7 to -4.

TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo PBSC infusion on day 0.

GRAFT-VS-HOST DISEASE PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive tacrolimus IV continuously or orally every 12 hours on days -1 to 56 and taper on days 57-200. Patients also receive methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11.

Treatment in both arms continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    Measured: At 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    IWG criteria was used to determine disease progression

    Measured: After stem cell infusion to date of last follow up.

    Measured: After stem cell infusion to day 28

  4. Incidence of Disease Progression/Relapse

    Disease progression/relapse was defined by IWG criteria

    Measured: After stem cell infusion to date of last follow up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing total-body irradiation, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and cyclophosphamide in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia With Multilineage Dysplasia Following Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Acute Myeloid Leukemia/Transient Myeloproliferative Disorder, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 8 sites in 2 countries.

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 16 inclusion and 23 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 31 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Oct 2013). 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?

Overall Survival (time frame: At 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 31 Oct 2014.
