About this study

Official title: Sequential Myeloablative Stem Cell Transplantation and Reduced Intensity Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Hodgkin's Disease

The sequential combination of myeloablative therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) followed by a reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplant (Allo SCT) and post SCT adoptive cellular immunotherapy will be well tolerated in patients with refractory or recurrent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin's disease (HD).

Read the detailed description

Lymphomas are the third most common group of cancers in children and adolescents in the United States. While Hodgkin's Disease (HD) has been described for many years, some subtypes of the non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas (NHL) have only recently been described. Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas traditionally have been classified as low, intermediate or high grade based on their clinical aggressiveness. More recently they have been divided into two major subgroups indolent and aggressive lymphomas by the current National Cancer Institute (NCI/PDQ) reference. Among children, aggressive histologies are prevalent including small non-cleaved cell lymphoma, lymphoblastic lymphoma, and diffuse large cell lymphoma. The most common histologic classifications of childhood non-Hodgkin's lymphoma over the past 30 years has included the morphological schema developed by Rappaport, the morphologically and immunologically based schema of Lukes and Collins, the Kiel classifications, the prognostic sub-groupings of the National Cancer Institute's Working Formulation, and the most recently developed classification that utilizes morphological, immunophenotypic and genetic information in the Revised European-American Lymphoma (REAL) classification.

Study groups in NCT00802113
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm A - Family DonorExperimentalFludarabine and Busulfan: Patients who have a matched family (allogeneic) donor will go on to receive non-ablative therapy, followed by an infusion of donor stem cells; this is called an allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant. The non-ablative therapy will be busulfan and fludarabine, Usually large (myeloablative) doses of these drugs are used for an allogeneic transplant. However, in this study lower doses (non-ablative) of chemotherapy will be given. In patients who still have evidence of disease after allogeneic transplant, additional donor immune cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) (DLI) will be given twice to further treat the lymphoma.
Receives: Drug: Fludarabine; Drug: Busulfan
Arm B - Unrelated Cord Blood or AdultExperimentalFludarabine, Busulfan and ATG: For patients who don't have a matched family donor, a cord blood search and unrelated adult search will be done at all of the cord blood banks and adult donor registries in the world. If a closely matched cord blood donor or unrelated adult donor is found, non-ablative chemotherapy with busulfan, fludarabine and antithymocyte globulin (ATG) followed by the infusion of matched unrelated cord blood cells or adult donor stem cells or bone marrow to restore the bone marrow will be given.
Receives: Drug: Fludarabine; Drug: Busulfan; Drug: Anti-Thymocyte Globulin

What is being measured

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

  1. Total Number of Subjects With a Complete Response (CR) Following Myeloablative Conditioning (MAC) and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (AutoSCT)

    Complete Response is defined as the complete resolution of B symptoms (i.e., weight loss, night sweats and fever) and normalization of all sites of disease on the basis of physical exam, bone marrow biopsy, and imaging studies.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post-transplantation

  2. Total Number of Subjects With a Disease Relapse or Progression Following MAC AutoSCT

    Includes subjects with any measurable growth of disease in a previously affected site or detection of disease in a new site confirmed by biopsy.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post-transplantation

  3. Total Number of Subjects With Partial Response or Stable Disease Following MAC AutoSCT

    Total includes subjects with partial response and patients with stable disease, defined as <50% reduction in measurable disease or the uninterrupted persistence of B symptoms.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post-transplantation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to Neutrophil Engraftment

    Following MAC AutoSCT, the median time to neutrophil (PMN) recovery will be measured.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post-transplantation

  2. Time to Platelet Engraftment

    Following MAC AutoSCT, the median time to platelet recovery will be measured.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post-transplantation

  3. Total Number of Subjects With Grade II-IV Acute Graft-versus-Host-Disease (GVHD)

    The criteria for grading is based on extent of organ involvement (i.e., Skin, Liver and Gut - rash on >50% of skin, bilirubin 2-3 mg/dl, diarrhea > 500 ml/day) with Grade II being better outcome and Grade IV being worse outcome.

    Measured: Up to 1 year post-transplantation

  4. Total Number of Subjects That Experienced Transplant-related Mortality (TRM)

    Status as subjects died post-AlloHCT

    Measured: Up to 1 year post-transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Fludarabine, Busulfan and Anti-Thymocyte Globulin in people with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Hodgkins Disease, run by Columbia University at 6 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 27 inclusion and 6 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 27 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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.

What does this combined 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Mar 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Total Number of Subjects With a Complete Response (CR) Following Myeloablative Conditioning (MAC) and Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (AutoSCT) (time frame: Up to 1 year post-transplantation). The study lists 3 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 27 Mar 2019.
