About this study

Official title: Allograft of Hematopoietic Stem Cells With Reduced-intensity Conditioning From a HLA-haploidentical Family Donor: Phase II Study of Combined Immunosuppression Before and After Transplantation

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine, busulfan, and cyclophosphamide, together with antithymocyte globulin before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells. Giving chemotherapy before or after transplant also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer and abnormal cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also 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 II trial is studying how well stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematological cancer or other disorders.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Evaluate the incidence of graft acceptance in patients with hematological disorders treated with combined immunosuppression before and after HLA-haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Secondary

  • Evaluate efficacy of this regimen in these patients.
  • Evaluate toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
  • Assess survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

  • Reduced-intensity conditioning: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate IV on days -6 to -1, busulfan IV on days -6 to -5, and anti-thymocyte globulin IV on days -4 to -1.
  • Transplantation: Patients undergo transplantation of donor hematopoietic stem cells on day 0. Patients also receive cyclophosphamide IV on day 3 and filgrastim (G-CSF) beginning on day 4 and continuing until blood counts recover.
  • Immunosuppression: Patients receive cyclosporine IV beginning on day -2 and continuing for 6 months and mycophenolate mofetil 4 times a day on days 4-84.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing anti-thymocyte globulin, busulfan and cyclophosphamide in people with Graft Versus Host Disease and Leukemia, run by Institut Paoli-Calmettes at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 28 Jan 2010. 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 France. 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 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of graft acceptance. 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 28 Jan 2010.
