About this study

The purpose of this research study is to collect, freeze and store leukemia cells from the blood or bone marrow of patients that have advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that is not in clinical remission. This study is a companion study to DF/HCC clinical trial 06-196 in which the participants' own CLL cells may form part of a vaccine treatment for their leukemia.

Read the detailed description
  • It is important to understand that even if the participant consents to allow us to save their leukemia cells, we cannot guarantee that they will be able to receive a vaccine. First, we may not be able to make enough vaccine from the collected cells. Second, they may not be able to participate in a vaccine study in the future for reasons related to the status of your overall health. Third, an appropriate vaccine trial may not be available in the future.
  • In order to make the vaccine, leukemia cells will be collected by one or more of the following methods: drawing blood during one of two visits to the clinic; leukapheresis; bone marrow aspiration; or, surgery to remove a lymph node.
  • The physician will discuss with the participant which approach is best in their case to ensure the highest number of tumor cells collected.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Leukemia cell harvest in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 8 Apr 2020. 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 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

To collect up to 20 patient samples per year that could potentially be used to prepare autologous tumor cell vaccines. (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 8 Apr 2020.
