About this study

Official title: Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant for Children With AML in First Complete Remission: Use of Marker Genes to Investigate the Biology of Marrow Reconstitution and the Mechanism of Relapse

This study proposes to transfer marker genes (detectable genetic traits or segments of DNA that can be identified and tracked) into aliquots of marrow obtained for Bone Marrow Transplant (BTM) in patients in remission of Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML).

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study was to estimate the continuous complete remission rate at 2 years post transplant for children with AML in first complete remission treated with autologous BMT.

Secondary objectives used transduction of marker genes into autologous marrow to determine the following:

  1. whether the source of relapse after BMT for AML is residual malignant cells in the harvested marrow or in the patient, and whether marrow purging is therefore rational.
  2. whether the majority of AML, which lack genetic markers, represent abnormalities in a multi-lineage progenitor cell, and whether therefore, auto grafting/intensified chemotherapy is ever likely to augment the cure rate.
  3. the mechanisms of autologous reconstitution, and the effects of stimuli which modify the process.
Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Busulfan, Cyclophosphamide and Mesna in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital 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 2 inclusion and 14 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 28 Apr 2008. 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 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.

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?

To estimate the continuous complete remission rate at 2 years for children with AML in first complete remission treated with Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant (ABMT). (time frame: 2 years post transplant). 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 Apr 2008.
