Trial summary

Recently, several conditioning regimens did not include total body irradiation (TBI) anymore, especially in the case of young children due to cognitive sequelae and late effects on growth and height. Thus, such effective chemotherapy conditioning regimens were developed to avoid these complications. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Respiratory Functions After a Conditioning Regimen With Busulfan for Allograft or Autograft in a Unicenter Pediatric and Prospective Population

Recently, several conditioning regimens did not include total body irradiation (TBI) anymore, especially in the case of young children due to cognitive sequelae and late effects on growth and height. Thus, such effective chemotherapy conditioning regimens were developed to avoid these complications. Busulfan is one of the major drugs used in these treatments, but, is also administered in high dose chemotherapy followed by autograft. In both situations, long term pulmonary side effects were diagnosed in a few cases. Even if the occurrence is not very frequent, the clinical management is a real challenge regarding the reduced quality of life and life expectancy of these patients. Up to now, no correlation was done between respiratory sequelae and busulfan pharmacokinetics. Hence, in the investigators' pediatric onco-hematological unit, a prospective study will begin and last three years to assess the respiratory side effects due to busulfan and their potential links with individual drug pharmacokinetic measures. These results will be compared to patients treated with TBI during the same period of time.

What participants receive

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

  • busulfanDrug

    5mg/kg/day (oral route : 4 doses/day for 4 days)

  • respiratory function testsProcedure or surgery

    Also called before allograft or autograft and at several times in the follow up (3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months).

    respiratory function tests before allograft or autograft and at several times in the follow up (3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months).

  • pharmacokinetics, done during the treatmentProcedure or surgery

    12 blood collections :

    • after 1st Busulfan taken : t0; t0 + 30 mn; t0 + 1h; t0 + 2h ; t0 + 3h ; t0 + 4h ; t0 + 5 h.
    • 3 hours after 2nd taken of Busulfan
    • 3 hours after 3rd taken of Busulfan
    • 3 hours after 4th taken of Busulfan
    • 3 hours after 5th taken of Busulfan
    • 3 hours after 6th taken of Busulfan.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of respiratory side effect frequency in the two years follow up of allograft or autograft treated with busulfan

    Measured: before allograft or autograft and at several times in the follow up (3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months).

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Comparison to respiratory side effect frequency with TBI conditioning regimen

    Measured: before allograft or autograft and at several times in the follow up (3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months).

  2. Busulfan pharmacokinetics

    Measured: after 1st Busulfan taken : t0; t0 + 30 mn; t0 + 1h; t0 + 2h ; t0 + 3h ; t0 + 4h ; t0 + 5 h ; 3 h after 2nd Busulfan taken ; 3 hours after 3rd Busulfan taken ; 3 h after 4st Busulfan taken ;3 h after 5st Busulfan taken ;3 h after 6st Busulfan taken

  3. Establish a potential link between respiratory side effects and busulfan pharmacokinetics

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing busulfan, respiratory function tests and pharmacokinetics, done during the treatment in people with Signs and Symptoms, Respiratory, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 2 sites in France.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2009. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Patrick Lutz, MD (3.33.88.12.80.90, patrick.lutz@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Determination of respiratory side effect frequency in the two years follow up of allograft or autograft treated with busulfan (time frame: before allograft or autograft and at several times in the follow up (3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months).). 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 25 Feb 2009.
