About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Prospective Trial to Evaluate the Role of NK Cell KIR Epitope Mismatch on Mortality and Disease Relapse in T-Cell Depleted Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation From HLA-C Mismatched, Unrelated Donors for Myeloid Malignancies

RATIONALE: Giving total-body irradiation and chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and thiotepa, before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer or abnormal cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When 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. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving antithymocyte globulin and removing the T cells from the donor cells before transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well a donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with myeloid cancer or other disease.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the incidence of disease-free survival at 1 year in patients with acute or chronic myeloid leukemias undergoing T-cell-depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from HLA-C mismatched, unrelated donors.

Secondary

  • Determine the incidence of disease relapse at 1 year in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the incidence and severity of acute graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) at 100 days and chronic GVHD at 1 year in these patients.
  • Determine the incidence of graft failure at day 100.
  • Determine the transplant-related mortality of these patients at 1 year.
  • Determine the overall survival of these patients at 1 year.

OUTLINE: This is a prospective, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) epitope mismatch (yes [experimental] vs no [control]).

  • Myeloablative preparative regimen: Patients undergo total body irradiation twice daily on days -10 and -9 and receive thiotepa intravenously (IV) over 4 hours on days -8 and -7, fludarabine phosphate IV over 30-60 minutes on days -7 to -3, and antithymocyte globulin IV over 4-6 hours on days -5 to -2.
  • Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation: Patients undergo filgrastim (G-CSF)-mobilized, T-cell-depleted, CD34+-selected allogeneic PBSC transplantation on day 0.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for at least 1 year.

All patients will receive granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized PBSC on day 0 (or day+1 when available) following CD34 cell selection for ex vivo T cell removal. PBSC is infused via a central venous catheter using blood infusion tubing.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Disease-free Survival

    Number of patients alive and without disease at 1 year after transplant.

    Measured: 1 Year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Incidence of Disease Relapse

    Number of patients with disease at 1 year.

    Measured: 1 Year

  2. Incidence of Grade II-IV Acute Graft-vs-host Disease (GVHD)

    Number of patients with grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease at Day 100 post transplant. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in which functional immune cells in the transplanted marrow recognize the recipient as "foreign" and mount an immunologic attack. Grade I=mild, Grade 2=moderate, Grade 3=severe, Grade 4=life threatening.

    Measured: Day 100

  3. Incidence of Chronic Graft-versus-host Disease (GVHD)

    Number of patients with chronic graft-versus-host disease at 1 year post transplant. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a common complication of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in which functional immune cells in the transplanted marrow recognize the recipient as "foreign" and mount an immunologic attack. Grade I=mild, Grade 2=moderate, Grade 3=severe, Grade 4=life threatening. Chronic GVHD is an extension of acute GVHD.

    Measured: 1 Year

  4. Incidence of Graft Failure

    Number of patients with graft failure is defined by lack of neutrophil engraftment by 100 days after transplant in patients surviving a minimum of 14 days.

    Measured: Day 100

  5. Transplant-related Mortality

    Number of patients with treatment related death at 1 year post transplant.

    Measured: 1 Year

  6. Overall Survival

    Number of patients who were deceased at 1 year post transplant.

    Measured: 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing anti-thymocyte globulin, fludarabine phosphate and thiotepa in people with Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota at 9 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 22 inclusion and 16 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Dec 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jul 2011). 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?

Incidence of Disease-free Survival (time frame: 1 Year). 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 28 Dec 2017.
