About this study

Official title: A California Cooperative Clinical Study Comparing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Using Nonmyeloablative Host Conditioning With Total Lymphoid Irradiation and Anti-thymocyte Globulin Versus Best Standard of Care in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in First Complete Remission

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the bone marrow that mostly affects older adults. Even with the best chemotherapy, two-year disease-free survival is achieved in a minority of patients. Bone marrow transplantation from a sibling donor may improve cure rates; however, patients over 50 years of age have a high risk of complications and therefore generally are excluded from this treatment option. Recently our group developed a transplantation strategy for older cancer patients that protects against transplant-associated complications, yet does not interfere with the ability of the transplanted donor cells to destroy cancer cells. With this new method, we can now safely evaluate transplantation as a curative therapy for AML patients over the age of 50. We have assembled clinical and scientific researchers throughout the state of California to study and compare bone marrow transplantation using our new approach with the best standard of care chemotherapy in AML patients over the age of 50. The results of this study have the potential to establish a new treatment standard that will improve survival of older AML patients.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival defined as the time interval between the date of attaining a first complete remission (CR) and the date of death from any cause. The outcome is reported as the number of participants alive (without dispersion).

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Disease-free Survival (DFS)

    Disease-free survival is defined as the time interval between the date of attaining a first complete remission (CR) and the date of relapse. Disease free survival (DFS) will compared to conventional therapy vs Non-myeloablative Host Conditioning (NMA HCT). The outcome is reported as the number of participants which never experienced disease relapse (without dispersion).

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Non-relapse Mortality

    Non-relapse mortality is defined as death that occurs after therapy, from any cause except a cause associated with relapse. This will be reported as the number of participants experiencing non-relapse mortality (a number without dispersion).

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Relapse Rate

    Relapse will be determined as ≥ 5% blast cells in the bone marrow, not secondary to regeneration after myelosuppressive therapy; OR emergence of extramedullary leukemia; OR the re-emergence of blasts in the peripheral blood. The outcome will be reported as the number and percentage of participants that meet these criteria (a number without dispersion).

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Transplant-related Mortality

    Transplant-related mortality will be assessed as any death occurring within 6 months post-transplant, from any cause except relapse. It will be measured at 100 day and 6 months after transplant. The outcome is expressed as at the number of participants experiencing transplant-related mortality (a number without dispersion).

    Measured: 100 days and 6 months

  5. Complete Donor Hematopoietic Cell Chimerism

    Complete donor hematopoietic cell chimerism was evaluated in transplant recipients. Complete donor chimerism will be assessed as the presence of > 95% donor T-cells (CD3+) in the blood. The outcome is reported as the percentage of participants that achieve complete donor chimerism, a number without dispersion.

    Measured: 2 years

  6. Early Graft Loss

    Early graft loss means a failure to achieve donor T-cell chimerism of > 5% at any time after transplant. The outcome is reported as the percentage of participants that experience early graft loss, a number without dispersion.

    Measured: 2 years

  7. Patients Completing the Intended Therapy in Both Arms

    The assessment for completion of the intended therapy (in both arms) will be reported as the percentage of participants, a number without dispersion

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Allogeneic HSCT, Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) and Cyclosporine (CSP) in people with Leukemia, Myeloid and Leukemia, run by Stanford University at 5 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 7 inclusion and 21 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 24 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Sep 2019). 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?

Overall Survival (OS) (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 24 Sep 2019.
