About this study

Official title: Chart Review of Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) Allogeneic Transplants in Elderly Patients With Myelofibrosis.

We will evaluate the records of 30 patients that have undergone allogeneic transplant, specifically looking at engraftment rate, relapse rate, disease free survival, overall survival, causes of death and other pertinent statistics. We will compare the outcomes to appropriate historical controls.

Read the detailed description

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is among the Philadelphia Chromosome Negative Myeloproliferative Disorders. This diagnosis can be present at a patient's initial diagnosis or it can arise out of preceding Polycythemia Vera or Essential Thrombocythemia. While the clinical course is variable, it is defined by varying degrees of splenomegaly, anemia, fatigue and other constitutional symptoms. Patients with PMF are at increased risk of acute leukemia, bone marrow failure and thrombosis. Currently, the only curative treatment for PMF is allogeneic stem cell transplant. However, as the median age at diagnosis is in the mid to late 60s, most patients are no longer candidates for transplant due to their age and/or other comorbid illnesses.

Unfortunately, all other treatments for PMF are palliative in nature and often of limited efficacy. Over the last several years, many advances have occurred that have increased the safety and improved the outcomes of allogeneic transplants. Perhaps most important has been the ongoing refinement of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens prior to transplant. Over the last few years, many groups have published data suggesting that these RIC transplants can be very effective in the treatment of PMF and it is felt to be a potentially curative procedure. However, the vast majority of these data are reported in persons younger than 65 years old. The current protocol for RIC transplant for PMF available at the University of Utah excludes patients older than the age of 65.

We would like to see if there is sufficient successful experience with transplant in persons older than 60 years old (including many older than 65 years of age) to justify the creation of a clinical trial using RIC regimens in this older age group. We will be reviewing the medical records of approximately 30 patients at four different institutions:

  • University of Utah/Huntsman Cancer Hospital
  • Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
  • Baylor College of Medicine
  • M.D. Anderson Cancer Centers

We will evaluate: engraftment rate, relapse rate, disease free survival, overall survival, causes of death and other pertinent statistics. We will compare the outcomes to appropriate historical controls. We hypothesize that RIC regimens may be justifiably safe in older patients with PMF and hope that our data will allow the development of a corollary clinical trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myelofibrosis, run by University of Utah at 4 sites 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 12 Oct 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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.

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?

Evaluation of engraftment rate, relapse rate, disease free survival, overall survival, causes of death and other pertinent statistics. Data will be compared to appropriate historical controls. (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00723333, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 12 Oct 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
