About this study

Official title: A Pilot Trial of Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation Augmented With Ex Vivo CytokinePrimed ALDHbr Umbilical Cord Blood Cells

The main purpose of this investigational (not approved by the FDA) Phase I research is to test whether transplantation of umbilical cord blood cells can be safely supplemented with a transfusion of a portion of these cells that have been sorted (collected from a special machine called a cell sorter) and then either infused a few hours after the standard transplant or for some patients grown in a special system in the laboratory prior to the transplant, designed to increase the number of stem cells transplanted. This system is currently in the early phases of testing.

Read the detailed description

The main purpose of this study is to test whether transplantation of umbilical cord blood cells can be safely supplemented with transfusion of a portion of these cells that have been grown in a special system (designed to increase the number of cells transplanted) in the laboratory prior to the transplant. This system is currently in the early phases of testing in a FDA-IND-sponsored clinical trial. If the patient consents to participate in this study, approximately 1/5th (20%) of the cord blood unit selected for the transplant will be treated per protocol. The first 3 patients will receive ALDHbr sorted cells but not primed in culture. This is to test the safety of the ALDHbr cells. The treated cells will be given to the patient on the day of transplant approximately 4 hours after the standard or conventional transplant which will be given from the 80% fraction of the cord blood unit. A total of 26 evaluable patients are to be enrolled as outlined below (protocol has been amended to allow this enrollment):

  • 10 evaluable patients who received ALDHbr freshly sorted cells (20% portion)
  • 10 evaluable patients who received ALDHbr sorted and cytokine primed cells (20% portion)
  • 3 evaluable patients who received a conventional cord blood unit and a cord blood unit that has been ALDHbr sorted (sort of the UCB unit will be done on Day -1 due to the time it takes to actually perform the sort)
  • 3 evaluable patients who received a conventional cord blood unit and a cord blood unit that has been ALDHbr sorted and cytokine primed (sort and priming will be done on day -5 as described later in the protocol)

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the safety of infusing ex vivo cytokine-primed ALDHbr cells isolated from banked unrelated umbilical cord blood (CB) into patients also receiving a standard unmanipulated unrelated CB transplant delivering >2.5x10e7 nucleated cells per kg.

    Measured: Prospective

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To describe the biological effect of ex vivo cytokine-primed ALDHbr cells in these patients on neutrophil and platelet engraftment and immune reconstitution.

    Measured: prospective

  2. To describe the clinical outcomes in these patients: - incidence of infections -Non relapse mortality -incidence of acute and chronic graft-vs-host disease -overall survival at 180 days

    Measured: prospective

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ALDHbr Umbilical Cord Blood Cells in people with MDS and Anemia, Aplastic, run by Joanne Kurtzberg, MD 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 18 inclusion and 0 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 29 Jun 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?

To assess the safety of infusing ex vivo cytokine-primed ALDHbr cells isolated from banked unrelated umbilical cord blood (CB) into patients also receiving a standard unmanipulated unrelated CB transplant delivering >2.5x10e7 nucleated cells per kg. (time frame: Prospective). 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 29 Jun 2017.
