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 16 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have an identified 8/10 or 9/10 matched unrelated donor identified following a formal search with confirmatory typing through the national marrow donor program as the best available donor. No matched sibling or fully matched unrelated donor has been identified. HLA typing of donor and recipient will be performed by high resolution molecular typing at HLA A, B, C and DRB1/DQ loci. Patients whose best available donor is matched at 8/10 loci must have at least one of the mismatches at the DQ locus. (no more than one mismatch at HLA A,B,C,DR allowed).
  • Candidates for this trial will meet the following criteria:
  • Adequate organ function for conditioning type:
  • For patients receiving ablative conditioning
  • Left Ventricular ejection fraction >45%
  • DLCO >50%
Show all 21Show fewer
  • Creatinine <1.5
  • Hepatic enzymes <3x upper limit of normal.
  • KPS >70%
  • For patients receiving non-ablative conditioning:
  • KPS >70%
  • Patients with the following diseases will be considered eligible:
  • AML in first remission with high risk features (poor risk cytogenetic abnormalities9, persistent elevated blast count on day +15 or recovery marrow after induction therapy).
  • AML beyond first remission
  • ALL in first remission with high risk features (ph+, t4:11)
  • ALL beyond first remission
  • High risk Myelodysplasia (RAEB-II, RAEB-I with poor-risk cytogenetics)
  • Recurrent Aggressive Non-Hodgkins or Hodgkins lymphoma (indolent histologies excluded) who have failed autologous transplant or have had inadequate response to salvage therapy.
  • CML with transformation
  • CLL with transformation or Fludarabine failure.
  • Severe aplastic anemia with recurrence or failure after immunosuppressive therapy.

Who cannot join

  • Prior allogeneic transplantation
  • Active CNS leukemia.
  • Female patients who are pregnant or breast feeding
  • Karnofsky performance status <70%.
  • Active viral, bacterial or fungal infection.
  • Patients seropositive for HIV -1,2; HTLV -1,2 (due to the additional immunodeficiency induced by transplantation and immunosuppressive therapy) Requirement for antifungal prophylaxis with Voriconazole for the first 30 days is prohibited.
  • Patients not providing informed consent.

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Sirolimus, Tacrolimus and Short Course Methotrexate for Prevention of Acute Graft Versus Host Disease in Recipients of Mismatched Unrelated Donor Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

The primary objective of this trial is to study the safety and efficacy of a novel regimen of sirolimus, tacrolimus and methotrexate as prophylaxis against acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) in recipients of mismatched unrelated donor stem cell grafts. Methotrexate is administered in a low dose format of 5mg/m2 on days +1,3 and 6 only.

What participants receive

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

  • tacrolimusDrug

    Also called FK506, Prograf(TM)

    Tacrolimus will be administered at a dose of .02mg/kg/d IVCI beginning day -3 until able to take oral medicines reliably. Blood levels will be maintained at 5-10 ng/ml. The oral dose will be 4 times the IV dose. Tacrolimus will be converted to oral dosing prior to hospital discharge. Tacrolimus will be continued until 4 months post transplant (day +120) unless toxicity, refractory GVHD or the development of disease recurrence mandate discontinuation of the drug.

  • SirolimusDrug

    Also called Rapamune

    Sirolimus will be administered as a 12 mg oral loading dose on day -3 followed by 4mg daily. Sirolimus levels will be obtained on day +0 and then at least twice weekly to maintain a trough serum level of 3-12 ng/ml. Sirolimus will be continued until 5 months post transplant (day +150) unless toxicity, refractory GVHD or the development of disease recurrence mandate discontinuation of the drug.

  • MethotrexateDrug

    Methotrexate, dose #1 will be administered on day +1 post transplantation, as an IV bolus, provided at least 24 hours have elapsed following infusion of donor stem cells at a dose of 10mg/m2. Dose #2 of Methotrexate will be administered 48 hours later, as IV bolus on day +3 at a dose of 5mg/m2.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing tacrolimus, Sirolimus and Methotrexate in people with Stem Cell Transplantation, run by Yale 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 21 inclusion and 7 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 30 Nov 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 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?

Safety/Efficacy of a novel regimen of sirolimus, tacrolimus and methotrexate (time frame: Upon completion of study). 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 30 Nov 2016.
