About this study

Official title: Nonmyeloablative Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Elderly Patients With Hematological Malignancies:Results From the GITMO (Gruppo Italiano Trapianto Midollo Osseo)Multicenter Prospective Clinical Trial

The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a nonmyeloablative conditioning consisting of fludarabine and total body irradiation in patients older than 60 years of age

Read the detailed description

A total of 35 patients with hematological malignancies were treated with fludarabine (30 mg/m2 x 3-5 days) and 200 cCy TBI followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a matched-sibling donor.

Neutrophil recovery occurred in 89% of the patients at a median time of 15 days. On day +30, 10 patients had > 95% donor chimerism, and 21 patients had mixed chimerism. The cumulative probabilities of grade II-IV acute GVHD and chronic GVHD were 51% and 84% respectively. Transplant-related mortality at 100 days and 1 year was 5% and 9% respectively. The probabilities of 1-year overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 55% and 47% respectively. The estimated 1-year probability of OS and PFS for patients in early disease stages were 87% and 74% respectively , which were significantly higher than the survival and PFS estimates of 12% obtained in patients with advanced disease stages at the time of transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing stem cell transplant in people with Hematological Malignancies, run by Azienda Ospedaliera San Giovanni Battista at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 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 3 Aug 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. 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 combined 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.

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?

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?

overall survival. The study lists 3 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 3 Aug 2009.
