Who cannot join

  • Active infection
  • Known allergies to bovine or porcine products
  • Renal function: Serum creatinine >2 mg/dL or creatinine clearance ≤50 mL/min
  • Hepatic function: Screening ALT or AST ≥3x than the upper limit of normal for the laboratory OR total bilirubin ≥2.0 mg/dL (Exception: acceptable if patient is identified with pre-existing condition e.g., Gilbert's disease that will contribute to baseline elevations of bilirubin)
  • Pulmonary function: FEV1, FVC, DLCO ≤50% predicted
  • Cardiac function: left ventricular ejection fraction ≤50%
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Patient received an investigational agent within 30 days prior to transplant

About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Multicenter, Dose-Escalation Trial Evaluating Maximum-Tolerated Dose of Single and Repeated Administration of Allogeneic MultiStem® in Patients With Acute Leukemia, Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, or Myelodysplasia

The purpose of this study is to determine if MultiStem® can safely be given to patients with acute leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, or myelodysplasia after they have received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Read the detailed description

Graft-vs.-Host Disease (GVHD) is one of the major limitations of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT). This complication is major cause of morbidity and mortality and is thought to be initiated by activation of donor T-cells through recognition of "foreign" cells resident in the transplant recipient. Acute GVHD is associated with damage to the liver, skin, gastrointestinal tract and mucosa. Moderate to severe GVHD Grades II-IV occurs in 30-50% of matched related HSCTs and 50-70% of unrelated donor recipients. Severe GHVD requires intense immunosuppression involving steroids and additional agents to get it under control, and patients may develop severe infections as a result of such immunosuppression. An agent or cell therapy that could reduce the incidence and/or severity of GVHD without increasing relapse or infectious risk in HSCT patients would provide substantial benefits.

What participants receive

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

  • MultiStem®Biological

    Patients will receive a single IV infusion of MultiStem® 2 days after HSCT.

  • MultiStem®Biological

    Patients will receive either 3 weekly IV infusions or 5 weekly infusions of MultiStem®

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MultiStem® in people with Hematologic Malignancies, run by Healios K.K. at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 8 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 5 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States, Belgium. 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?

maximum tolerated dose (time frame: 30 days). 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 5 Jan 2012.
