Trial summary

CML, a malignant disorder of stem cells, is characterized by increases in both immature and mature myeloid, erythroid, and lymphoid cells, as well as platelets in the peripheral blood. The cytogenetic hallmark of CML is the Philadelphia(Ph)chromosome found in the malignant cells of 95% of patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Reduced Intensity Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and Adoptive Cellular Immunotherapy Only in Patients With Persistent Disease and Matched Family Donors

CML, a malignant disorder of stem cells, is characterized by increases in both immature and mature myeloid, erythroid, and lymphoid cells, as well as platelets in the peripheral blood. The cytogenetic hallmark of CML is the Philadelphia(Ph)chromosome found in the malignant cells of 95% of patients. CML comprises 7-20% of all leukemias with an overall incidence in the general population estimated at 1 to 2 per 100,000. The peak incidence occurs in the fifth decade, however, all age groups, including children, are affected. The only reported environmental risk factor is exposure to excessive ionizing radiation that is documented in only a very small percentage of patients. Clinically, CML is characterized by an initial chronic phase in which patients may report mild constitutional symptoms; however, 40-50% are asymptomatic and are diagnosed based upon abnormal blood counts discovered during a routine examination. The chronic phase typically lasts three to five years, and is followed by an accelerated phase distinguished by progressive systemic symptoms, an increasing resistance to conventional chemotherapy, and a rise in the peripheral blood and bone marrow blast count. This evolves rapidly into a blastic crisis characterized by immature cells resembling the blasts characteristic of acute leukemia. The presence of 30% or more blastic cells in the blood or marrow is diagnostic of this final blastic phase which is typically fatal within 3 to 6 months.

The primary treatment options for CML have traditionally been monotherapy with either busulfan or hydroxyurea. Both agents are able to control the clinical symptoms associated with CML, as well as induce hematological remissions in 80% of chronic phase patients. However, complete cytogenetic remissions with either agent are rare, and neither is able to prevent eventual progression to the terminal blastic phase; therefore, these therapies can only be considered palliative.

The primary purpose of this clinical research trial is to study the feasibility of a reduced intensity allogenic transplant for CML. This study will also determine the side effects as well as the response rate.

Further study details will be provided by Columbia University, Division of Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

STUDY DESIGN:

Patients less than 30 years of age with CML in 1st or 2nd chronic phase or 1st accelerated phase and a matched related donor, an unrelated cord blood donor, or an unrelated adult donor, will receive 6 days of IV Fludarabine, 4 doses of IV Busulfex, and 5 doses of Alemtuzumab. Patients with persistant RT-PCR positive BCR-Abl and/or Philadelphia chromosome positivity by cytogentics after Day + 100 and a matched related donor would receive DLIx1. If still BCR-Abl or Philadelphia chromosome positive at Day +180 and a matched related donor, patients would receive a second dose of DLI. All patients will receive STI-571 (Gleevec) after hematological reconstitution. Studies for immune reconstitution, chimersim, and MRD will be performed postt AlloSCT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Reduced Intensity Conditioning, Busulfan and Fludarabine in people with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, run by Columbia University 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 13 inclusion and 4 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 14 Apr 2011. 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Poor accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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 determine the toxicity associated with reduced intensity therapy and allogeneic SCT in selected patients with CML. (time frame: Until Study End). 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 14 Apr 2011.
