Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 18 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients age 0-18 with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) who have relapsed or have residual disease after allogeneic HCT. Residual disease is defined as failure to eradicate original disease without prior documentation of remission. Relapse is defined as reappearance of i) leukocytosis with absolute monocytosis >1 x 10^8/L, ii) presence of immature myeloid cells in the peripheral circulation in two consecutive bone marrow specimens taken at least one month apart, or iii) presence of clonal cytogenetic abnormality. The diagnosis of relapse will be supported by the return of an abnormal cytogenetic marker (if present at diagnosis) or the presence of host cells by RFLP or other method.
  • Patients should be at least 6 months from first hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) if clinically stable. (If JMML is rapidly progressive, second HCT may be performed earlier).
  • Adequate major organ function including:
  • Cardiac: ejection fraction ≥45%
  • Pulmonary: FEV >50%, DLCO >50%
  • Renal: creatinine clearance ≥40 mL/min
Show all 9Show fewer
  • Hepatic: no clinical evidence of hepatic failure (e.g. coagulopathy, ascites)
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥70% or Lansky score ≥50%
  • Written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Active uncontrolled infection within one week of HCT.

About this study

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy drugs, such as cytarabine and mitoxantrone, before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When certain 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, methotrexate, and methylprednisolone before or after transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best way to give high-dose cytarabine together with mitoxantrone in treating patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia undergoing a second donor stem cell transplant.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the incidence of 1-year disease-free survival in patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia and who is undergoing a repeat stem cell transplantation.

Secondary

  • To evaluate the incidence of regimen-related toxicity.
  • To evaluate the incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host-disease.
  • To evaluate the incidence of relapse.

OUTLINE:

  • Preparative cytoreductive therapy: Patients receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 2 hours on days -9 to -4 and mitoxantrone hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days -9 to -7.
  • Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT): Patients undergo HSCT on day 0. Patients undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation receive methylprednisolone (as graft failure prophylaxis) IV twice daily on days 5 to 19 followed by a taper every other day thereafter until day 25.
  • Graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receive cyclosporine IV over 2 hours every 8-12 hours or orally twice daily beginning on day -3 and continuing until day 50, followed by a taper to day 90, in the absence of GVHD. Patients undergoing nongenotypically identical bone marrow transplantation also receive methotrexate IV on day 1 beginning 24 hours after completion of stem cell infusion and on days 3, 6, and 11.
  • Post-transplantation isotretinoin therapy: Patients receive oral isotretinoin once daily beginning on day 60 and continuing until 1 year after HSCT.

Patients undergo bone marrow sample collection on day 21, day 60, day 100, at 6 months, and at 1 year for chimerism studies. Patients also undergo blood sample collection periodically to monitor peripheral blood counts for immune reconstitution.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed on day 21, day 100, at 6 months, and at 1 year.

What participants receive

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

  • cyclosporineDrug

    Also called CSA

    Patients will receive CSA therapy beginning on day -3, with a taper commencing on day +60 (unless GVHD) and ending on day +90. For patients >40 kg with normal renal function (creatinine <1.3 mg/dL), the initial dose will be 2.5 mg/kg intravenously (IV) over 2 hours every 12 hours. For children <40 kg, the initial dose will be 2.5 mg/kg IV over 2 hours every 8 hours.

  • cytarabineDrug

    Also called Ara-C

    3000 mg/m^2 intravenously (IV) over 2 hours x 2 (i.e. total 6000 mg/m^2/day) on days -9 through -4.

  • filgrastimDrug

    Also called G-CSF

    Patients with absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <0.2 x 10^8/L on day 21 may receive G-CSF at 5 mcg/kg/day. G-CSF will be continued until ANC ≥2.5 x 10^8/L for two consecutive days. As the malignant cell population of JMML is known to be hypersensitive to GM-CSF, this cytokine will not be given to these patients.

  • methotrexateDrug

    Also called MTX

    MTX will be administered to recipients of non-genotypically identical BMT. MTX will be administered at a dose of 15 mg/m^2 (based on adjusted ideal body weight) intravenously (IV) on day +1 and at a dose of 10 mg/m^2 IV on days +3, +6, and +11.

  • methylprednisoloneDrug

    Also called Medrol

    Recipients of UCB will receive methylprednisolone 2 mg/kg/day from day +5 to +19 at a dose of 1 mg/kg twice a day (bid) with a 10% taper every week thereafter.

  • mitoxantrone hydrochlorideDrug

    Also called Mitoxantrone

    10 mg/m^2 over 30 minutes intravenously (IV) on days -9 through -7.

  • allogeneic bone marrow transplantationProcedure or surgery

    Donor marrow will be collected in the usual sterile manner with a collection goal of 2.0 >10^8/kg recipient weight. Infused on Day 0.

  • umbilical cord blood transplantationProcedure or surgery

    Umbilical cord blood (UCB) will be cryopreserved prior to transplantation. Cord blood units will be selected for transplantation according to current University of Minnesota Department of Blood and Marrow Transplantation Guidelines.

  • Cis-Retinoic acidDrug

    Also called isotretinoin

    Post-Transplant Cis-Retinoic Acid (CRA) Therapy - CRA will be given at a dosage of 100 mg/m^2/day by mouth in a single daily dose starting on day +60 and continuing until 1 year after transplant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing cyclosporine, cytarabine and filgrastim in people with Leukemia, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota 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 9 inclusion and 1 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 28 Dec 2017. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 2 Mar 2012). 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?

Disease-free Survival (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 28 Dec 2017.
