About this study

Official title: A Randomized Multicentre Study Comparing G-CSF Mobilized Peripheral Blood and G-CSF Stimulated Bone Marrow in Patients Undergoing Matched Sibling Transplantation for Hematologic Malignancies

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor peripheral stem cell transplant or bone marrow transplant using stem cells from a brother or sister that closely match the patient's stem cells, 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. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer or abnormal cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as G-CSF, to the donor helps the stem cells move from the bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored. Giving methotrexate and cyclosporine before and after transplant may stop this from happening. It is not yet known whether a donor peripheral stem cell transplant is more effective than a donor bone marrow transplant in treating hematologic cancers or other diseases.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying filgrastim-mobilized sibling donor peripheral stem cell transplant to see how well it works compared with sibling donor bone marrow transplant in treating patients with hematologic cancers or other diseases.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the time to treatment failure in patients with hematologic malignancies or other diseases treated with filgrastim (G-CSF)-mobilized matched-sibling donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation vs G-CSF-stimulated matched-sibling donor bone marrow transplantation.

Secondary

  • Compare the hematological recovery and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the quality of life, in terms of extensive graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the economic impact associated with these treatment regimens.

Tertiary

  • Compare the incidence and severity of acute GVHD in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare organ involvement, symptomatology, and functional impact of chronic GVHD in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare disease-free survival of patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare donor quality of life.
  • Compare cost analysis, from a societal perspective, of these treatment regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to treatment center, disease (chronic myelogenous leukemia vs acute myeloid leukemia vs myelodysplastic syndromes vs other hematologic malignancy), disease stage (early disease vs late disease), and conditioning regimen (busulfan and cyclophosphamide vs cyclophosphamide and total body irradiation vs other).

  • Myeloablative conditioning regimen: Patients receive a myeloablative conditioning regimen that has been approved by the clinical chair.
  • Stem cell transplantation (SCT): Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 SCT arms.
  • Arm I: Patients undergo sibling donor filgrastim (G-CSF)-mobilized peripheral blood SCT on day 0.
  • Arm II: Patients undergo sibling donor G-CSF- mobilized bone marrow transplantation on day 0.
  • Graft-verus-host disease (GVHD) treatment: Patients receive methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11 and cyclosporine IV (or orally) every 12 hours beginning on day -2 and continuing until day 100.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and at 1 and 3 years post-transplantation.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for at least 4 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 230 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing filgrastim, allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in people with Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders and Graft Versus Host Disease, run by The Canadian Blood and Marrow Transplant Group at 16 sites in 5 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 5 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in Canada, Australia, United States, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia. 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 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?

Time to treatment failure (extensive chronic graft-versus-host disease [GVHD], relapse, death). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00438958, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 5 Mar 2014.
