About this study

Official title: Haematopoietic Progenitor Cell Mobilization in Children With Malignancies: Evaluation of Pegfilgrastim at 200µg/kg After Chemotherapy

Hypothesis : pegfilgrastim at 200 µg/kg between 12 and 18 days after previous chemotherapy provides an efficient stem cell mobilization in children with malignancies Design: phase 2 study. Judgment criterion: percentage of children achieving at least 5x10e6 CD34 cells with a standard apheresis (less than 3 blood volume processed

Read the detailed description

Patients: consecutively referred for HSC mobilization. 12 to 18 days after the previous chemotherapy. No haematological growth factor during the 8 previous days.

Mobilization: one sc injection of 200 µg/kg pegfilgrastim (Neulasta, Amgen) Evaluation during the study: CD34 circulating cells from day 3 to day 7 ; AE recording Judgment criterion: percentage of children achieving at least 5x10e6 CD34 cells with a standard apheresis (less than 3 blood volume processed) Analysis: sequential Bayesian study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta, Amgen) in people with Solid Malignancies, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand 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?

The sponsor lists 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2011. 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?

Contact Patrick Lacarin (04.73.75.11.95, placarin@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

percentage of children achieving at least 5x10e6 CD34 cells with a standard apheresis (less than 3 blood volume processed) (time frame: less than 3 blood volume processed). 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 19 Jan 2011.
