About this study

Official title: Total Marrow Irradiation and Myeloablative Chemotherapy Followed By Double Umbilical Cord BloodTransplantation In Patients With Refractory Acute Leukemia

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total marrow irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood or hematopoietic stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy 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 and mycophenolate mofetil after the transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of total marrow irradiation when given together with combination chemotherapy and umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell transplant in treating patients with acute leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia or multiple myeloma that did not respond to previous therapy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of total marrow irradiation (TMI) delivered by image-guided tomographic intensity-modulated radiotherapy when administered in combination with myeloablative chemotherapy in patients undergoing double umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation or hematopoietic stem cell for refractory acute leukemia.

Secondary

  • Determine the incidence of engraftment (defined as achievement of neutrophil count > 500/uL at 42 days after transplantation).
  • Determine the incidence of platelet engraftment at 6 months and at 1 year after transplantation.
  • Evaluate the incidence of complete donor chimerism and the relative contribution of each UCB unit to donor engraftment within the first 100 days after transplantation.
  • Determine the incidence of transplantation-related mortality (TRM) at 6 months after treatment with a TMI-containing myeloablative conditioning regimen.
  • Determine the incidence of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) at 100 days after transplantation.
  • Determine the incidence of chronic GVHD at 1 year after transplantation.
  • Determine the incidence of relapse at 1 year after transplantation.
  • Determine the survival and disease-free survival at 1 and 2 years after transplantation.
  • Assess the durability of remission based on presence of rapid early response (defined by clearance of leukemic blasts from the bone marrow at 21 days after transplantation).

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of total marrow irradiation (TMI).

  • Myeloablative conditioning regimen: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate IV over 1 hour once daily for 3 days between days -12 and -6 and cyclophosphamide IV once daily for 2 days between days -11 and -6. Patients undergo TMI once daily for 4-8 days between days -8 and -1.
  • Donor umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation: Patients undergo single-unit or double-unit donor UCB transplantation on day 0. Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) IV or subcutaneously once daily beginning on day 1 and continuing until blood counts recover.
  • Related Donor: Related donor bone marrow will be collected (target cell dose 5x10^8 nucleated cells/kg recipient weight, minimum 3x10^8 nucleated cells/kg recipient weight) and infused without processing on day 0.
  • Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis: Patients receive cyclosporine IV over 2 hours or orally 2-3 times daily beginning on day -3 and continuing until day 100, followed by a taper until day 180, in the absence of GVHD. Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil IV or orally 2-3 times daily beginning on day -3 and continuing until day 30 (or 7 days after engraftment), in the absence of acute GVHD.

Patients are followed periodically for up to 2 years after transplantation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of total marrow irradiation (TMI)

    Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is the highest dose of a drug or treatment that does not cause unacceptable side effects. The MTD of TMI will be determined by using the modified Continual Reassessment Method (CRM). The goal of this CRM will be to identify 1 of the 5 dose levels which corresponds to the desired maximum toxicity rate of <=15%.

    Measured: Day 42 and 6 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Incidence of neutrophil engraftment

    Neutrophil engraftment is defined as the first day of three consecutive days where the neutrophil count (absolute neutrophil count) is 500 cells/mm3 (0.5 x 109/L) or greater.

    Measured: Day 42

  2. Incidence of platelet engraftment

    Platelet engraftment is defined as 20,000/mm^3 (20 x 10^9/L) for 3 consecutive days unsupported by a platelet transfusion.

    Measured: 6 Months and 1 Year After Transplantation

  3. Incidence of complete donor chimerism

    Defined as a state in bone marrow transplantation in which bone marrow and host cells exist compatibly without signs of graft-versus-host rejection disease.

    Measured: Day 100

  4. Incidence of transplantation-related mortality

    In the field of transplantation, toxicity is high and all deaths without previous relapse or progression are usually considered as related to transplantation.

    Measured: 6 Months

  5. Incidence of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after transplantation

    Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease is a severe short-term complication created by infusion of donor cells into a foreign host.

    Measured: Day 100

  6. Incidence of chronic GVHD after transplantation

    Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease is a severe long-term complication created by infusion of donor cells into a foreign host.

    Measured: 1 Year

  7. Incidence of relapse after transplantation

    The return of disease after its apparent recovery/cessation.

    Measured: 1 Year

  8. Disease-free survival after transplantation

    Disease-free survival (progression-free survival [PFS]) is the length of time during and after medication or treatment during which the disease being treated (usually cancer) does not get worse. It is sometimes used as a metric to study the health of a person with a disease to try to determine how well a new treatment is working.

    Measured: 1 year and 2 years

  9. Durability of remission based on presence of rapid early response after transplantation

    Remission - a decrease in or disappearance of signs and symptoms of cancer. In partial remission, some, but not all, signs and symptoms of cancer have disappeared. In complete remission, all signs and symptoms of cancer that can be detected with modern technology have disappeared, although cancer still may be in the body.

    Measured: Day 21

  10. Overall survival after transplantation

    The percentage of people in a study or treatment group who are alive for a certain period of time after they were diagnosed with or treated for a disease, such as cancer.

    Measured: 1 year and 2 years

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 31 inclusion and 5 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 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 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 (MTD) of total marrow irradiation (TMI) (time frame: Day 42 and 6 months). 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 Dec 2017.
