Trial summary

In this study two cord blood collections will be used to increase the number of cord blood cells you will receive on transplant day. We call this a "double unit" cord blood transplant. A previous study suggests double unit cord blood transplant may have a better result. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Myeloablative Conditioning Regimen Consisting of Cyclophosphamide, Fludarabine and Total Body Irradiation Followed by the Transplantation of Unrelated Donor Double Unit Umbilical Cord Blood Grafts for Patients With Hematological Malignancy.

In this study two cord blood collections will be used to increase the number of cord blood cells you will receive on transplant day. We call this a "double unit" cord blood transplant. A previous study suggests double unit cord blood transplant may have a better result. The main purpose of this study is to find out how good a cord blood transplant using two cord blood collections from two different babies is at curing you of your cancer. Double unit cord blood transplants are now being studied as a way to increase the number of cord blood cells given to bigger children and adult patients.

Based on studies that have already been done double unit cord blood transplant appears to be safer than if only one cord blood unit is used. However, double unit cord blood transplant is a fairly new form of treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is a single arm phase 2 study to obtain a preliminary estimate of efficacy of myeloablative double unit umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) as measured by overall and disease-free survival at 1 year post transplantation. The UCB graft will consist of two (or double) units from two unrelated newborn donors. Patients with hematopoietic malignancy at high-risk for relapse or with advanced disease will receive myeloablative conditioning with cyclophosphamide (Cy),low dose fludarabine (Flu) and total body irradiation (TBI) with post transplantation cyclosporine (CSA) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for GVHD prophylaxis.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Fludarabine, CyclophosphamideDrug

    Fludarabine 25 mg/m2/day IV in the morning x 3 days (days -7, -6 and -5) for a total dose of 75 mg/m2 followed by Cyclophosphamide on days -6 and -5. 60mg/kg/day IV over 30-60 minutes x 2 days (days -6 and -5). High volume fluids should commence approximately 12 hours prior to drug and continue until 24 hours after second dose.

    Total Body Irradiation: 125 cGy x 11 doses (TID on days -3, -2, -1 and BID on day 0) for a total TBI dose of 1375 cGy. Pediatric patients unable to tolerate a TID dosing schedule can receive 150 cGy x 8 doses (BID on days -3, -2, -1, and 0). All patients will receive GVHD prophylaxis with 2 drugs: Cyclosporine A and Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF).

    Units should be given consecutively each over approximately 10-30 minutes.Pre-medication should include acetaminophen and diphenhydramine or hydroxyzine.G-CSF 5 mcg/kg/day IV/SQ (dose rounded to vial size to a maximum of 480 mcg) will be given from day +1 until ANC recovery.

  • TransplantationProcedure or surgery

    The UCB ( Umbilical Cord Blood) collection known as a unit is processed to remove excess plasma and red cells, tested for sterility, HLA-typed, cryopreserved and stored. This protocol involves the administration of two UCB units from two different donors. The units will be thawed in the Cytotherapy Laboratory as per the current standard operating procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide and Transplantation in people with Cancer and Leukemia, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 56 inclusion and 0 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 12 Feb 2016. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Feb 2016). 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 Response (time frame: 1 year). 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 12 Feb 2016.
