Trial summary

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy 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. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: NON-T-CELL DEPLETED HLA-HAPLOIDENTICAL FAMILIAL DONOR HEMATOPOIETIC CELL TRANSPLANTATION AFTER REDUCED INTENSITY CONDITIONING

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy 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 the 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 cyclosporine and methotrexate before and after transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well donor stem cell transplant works when given after conditioning therapy in treating patients with hematologic cancer, recurrent or metastatic solid tumor, or other disease.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the safety and efficacy of non-T-cell depleted, HLA-haploidentical related donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen comprising busulfan, fludarabine phosphate, anti-thymocyte globulin, and methylprednisolone in patients with hematologic cancer, recurrent or metastatic solid tumors, or other diseases.

OUTLINE:

  • Reduced-intensity conditioning regimen: Patients receive busulfan IV 4 times daily on days -7 and -6; fludarabine phosphate IV over 30 minutes on days -7 to -2; and methylprednisolone IV over 30 minutes followed by anti-thymocyte globulin IV over 4 hours on days -4 to -1.
  • Donor hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: Patients receive donor peripheral blood stem cells IV over 1 hour on days 0 and 1.
  • Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receive cyclosporine IV over 2-4 hours or orally twice daily beginning on day -1 and continuing until day 60, followed by a taper in the absence of GVHD. Patients also receive methotrexate IV on days 2, 4, 7, and 12.

After the transplant, patients are followed periodically.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing anti-thymocyte globulin, busulfan and cyclosporine in people with Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 26 Mar 2013. 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 South Korea. 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?

Engraftment (neutrophil, platelet, and red blood cells). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00521430, 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 26 Mar 2013.
