Trial summary

The purpose of this trial is to determine if selectively removing only a small subset of T cells, called CD8+ T cells, is safe and if it can reduce the risk of graft versus host disease (GVHD) without losing the anti-cancer effects. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: CD8+ T Cell Depletion as Graft Versus Host Disease Prophylaxis After HLA-Matched Unrelated Donor Non-myeloablative Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation

The purpose of this trial is to determine if selectively removing only a small subset of T cells, called CD8+ T cells, is safe and if it can reduce the risk of graft versus host disease (GVHD) without losing the anti-cancer effects.

Read the detailed description
  • The patient will be admitted to the hospital once a good donor is found for chemotherapy and stem cell transplant. The patient will remain in the hospital for 8 days and will receive two chemotherapy drugs (fludarabine and Busulfex) intravenously once each day for 4 days.
  • On the third day after the patient has finished chemotherapy, the donor cells should arrive at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the lab will remove CD8 cells. Then the product will be given to the patient through a central line. If there are not enough stem cells in the donor product, then the CD8 cells will not be taken out, and the patient will get the whole product.
  • Just before and after the transplant, the patient will also take tacrolimus and methotrexate to help prevent GVHD. Tacrolimus is a pill that will be taken orally two times a day. Methotrexate is a chemotherapy drug that is given intravenously on days 1, 3 and 6 after the transplant. In addition to the these drugs, participants will also take antibiotics to prevent infection and Filgrastim (G-CSF, neupogen) until their white blood cell counts are better.
  • After the stem cell infusion, check-ups and blood tests will be performed at least once a week for 1 month. At about one month, a bone marrow biopsy to look for the donor's cells in the participants bone marrow will be performed. After the 1-month evaluation, the patient will be seen at least every 2 weeks with another bone marrow biopsy at 3-4 months after the transplant.
  • After the patient is past 100 days since transplant, they will be followed in the clinic and have blood work done at least once a month until 6 months post transplant.
  • The trial will end at 6 months after the transplant, but patients will be tracked for the rest of their life to look at long-term effects of this transplant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CD+8 T cell depletion in people with Hematologic Malignancy and AML, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute 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 12 inclusion and 12 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 16 Mar 2012. 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.

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?

To assess the initial engraftment of HLA matched unrelated donor mobilized peripheral blood stem cells depleted of CD+8 cells. (time frame: 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 16 Mar 2012.
