About this study

Official title: Allogeneic Transplantation for Pediatric Leukemias With Unrelated Donors Using Fludarabine, Busulfan, 400 cGy Total Body Irradiation, and Thymoglobulin

The study proposes the use of Fludarabine, Busulfan, Anti Thymocyte Globulin Rabbit (ATG) and Total Body Irradiation as a preparative regimen before hematopoietic stem cell transplant from unrelated donor peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). The hypothesis states that the 100 day mortality after this type of transplant will be significantly below the accepted standards, which is about 30% for unrelated donors.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the toxicity (as measured as 100 day survival) after hematopoietic stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor with a novel preparative regimen of Fludarabine, Busulfan, Anti-Thymocyte Globulin, and Total Body Irradiation for pediatric patients with leukemia. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the relapse-free and overall survival after hematopoietic stem cell transplant as well as to evaluate the incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease after this preparative regimen.

What participants receive

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

  • BusulfanDrug

    Also called IV Busulfex

    Patient will receive a Test Dose of Busulfan on either Day -10 or Day -9. Patient will receive their Regimen Dose of Busulfan on Day -5 to Day -2. The regimen dose of Busulfan will be based off of the findings from their Test Dose.

  • FludarabineDrug

    Also called Fludara

    Patient will receive Fludarabine from Day -6 to Day -2. The dose of Fludarabine will be 30 mg/m^2/day.

  • ThymoglobulinDrug

    The patient will also receive Thymoglobulin (rabbitATG) on Day -4 to Day -2. Each dose of rabbitATG will be 1.5 mg/kg/day.

  • Total Body IrradiationRadiation

    On Day -1 the patient will receive a total of 400 cGy of Total Body Irradiation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Busulfan, Fludarabine and Thymoglobulin in people with Leukemia, run by Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago 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 34 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2014. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sonali Chaudhury, MD (312-227-4863, schaudhury@luriechildrens.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the toxicity (as measures by 100 day survival) after hematopoietic stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor with a novel preparative regimen. (time frame: 100 day mortality). 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 23 Jan 2014.
