RATIONALE: Giving total marrow and total lymph node irradiation together with low doses of chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study of Escalating Doses of Radiation Therapy Using Helical Tomotherapy in Combination With Fludarabine (FLU) and Melphalan (MEL) as a Preparative Regimen for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC) Transplantation in Patients With Advanced and Hematological Malignancies Who Are Not Eligible for Fully Myeloablative Regimen

RATIONALE: Giving total marrow and total lymph node irradiation together with low doses of chemotherapy before a donor stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop 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 cells (graft-versus-tumor effect).

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of total marrow and total lymph node irradiation when given together with fludarabine and melphalan followed by donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with advanced hematological cancer that has not responded to treatment.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the maximum tolerated dose of intensity-modulated total marrow and lymph node irradiation (TMLI) using helical tomotherapy in combination with a reduced-intensity preparative regimen comprising fludarabine phosphate and melphalan in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for advanced, relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies.
  • To describe the toxicities of escalating doses of TMLI in these patients.

Secondary

  • To describe the frequency of clinical response in patients treated with this regimen.
  • To describe the frequency of primary and secondary engraftment failure in patients treated with this regimen.
  • To describe the time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment in patients treated with this regimen.
  • To describe the incidence of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients treated with this regimen.
  • To describe the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
  • To describe the progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of intensity-modulated total marrow and lymph node irradiation (TMLI).

  • Intensity-modulated radiation therapy: Patients undergo TMLI to skeletal bone/marrow, major lymph node chains, spleen, and liver using helical tomotherapy twice daily on days -6 to -3.
  • Reduced-intensity preparative regimen: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate IV on days -6 to -2 and melphalan IV on day -1.
  • Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT): Patients undergo allogeneic HSCT on day 0.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing fludarabine phosphate, melphalan and nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in people with Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders and Leukemia, run by City of Hope Medical Center 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?

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2015. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Protocol objective could not be met. A new study with amended eligibility criteria will be developed.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose of intensity-modulated total marrow and lymph node irradiation using helical tomotherapy. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Jun 2015.
