About this study

Official title: Allogeneic Non-Myeloablative Stem Cell Transplantation Using Fludarabine and Melphalan Conditioning Regimen for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Multiple Myeloma

Allogeneic Non-Myeloablative Stem Cell Transplantation Using Fludarabine and Melphalan Conditioning Regimen for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Multiple Myeloma

Read the detailed description

Treatment plan

  • Conditioning chemotherapy before infusion of allogeneic stem cells will include fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day for 5 consecutive days (days -6 to -2) and melphalan 100 mg/m2 at day -2.
  • Fludarabine and Melphalan will be infused intravenously over 30 minutes in D5W 100 mL.
  • Melphalan will be administered following the completion of Fludarabine infusion at day -2.
  • In case of unrelated donor HCT, thymoglobuline 3 mg/kg in N/S 500 mL (less than 0.5 mg/mL) or lymphoglobuline 15 mg/kg in N/S 500 mL (less than 2 mg/mL) IV qd on days -4, -3 and -2. Infuse over 4 hrs. Premedicate with Avil 45.5 mg IVP and Tylenol 600 mg po. Methylprednisolone 2 mg/kg in D5W 100 ml will be given IV over 30 minutes before thymoglobulin (or lymphoglobuline) on days -4 to -2.
  • Before the administration of melphalan, prehydration will be done intravenously with 0.9% NS 1L over 3 hours.
  • 30 minutes before melphalan infusion, premedication with dexamethasone 10 mg and ativan 1 mg i.v. push will be given. Appropriate antiemetics such as ondansetron 8 mg i.v. push every 4-6 hours and ativan 1-2 mg i.v. push every 4-6 hours will be administered.
  • Hydration with 0.9% NS at 80 mL/hour will be administered for at least 7 days. Appropriate amount of KCl should be mixed.
  • GVHD prophylaxis will include cyclosporine A (CSA) and methotrexate.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate engraftment, chimerism, toxicity, incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and day 100 treatment-related mortality (TRM)

    -To evaluate engraftment, chimerism, toxicity, incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and day 100 treatment-related mortality (TRM) following allogeneic nonmyeloablative stem cell transplantation using fludarabine and melphalan conditioning regimen in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.

    Measured: 9years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. include tumor response, incidence of chronic GVHD, and immune reconstitution.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Flu-Mel in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by Cooperative Study Group A for Hematology at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 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 17 Feb 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 South Korea. 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?

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 evaluate engraftment, chimerism, toxicity, incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and day 100 treatment-related mortality (TRM) (time frame: 9years). 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 NCT00772811, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Feb 2011.
