What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ClofarabineDrug

    Clofarabine will be administered as a 2-hour IV infusion on Days 1 through 5 at approximately the same time everyday (4 dose levels).

  • MelphalanDrug

    Doses ranging from 100 to 140 mg/m2

  • CampathDrug

    20mg/d x5

  • Stem Cell TransplantProcedure or surgery

    Infusion of donor, bone marrow and auto.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Hepatic Adverse Events During the Conditioning Regimen Prior to Stem Cell Transplantation

    Toxicity was scored according to NCI/CTC version 3

    Measured: Day 7 until Day 30

  2. Number of Participants With Renal Adverse Events During the Conditioning Regimen Prior to Stem Cell Transplantation

    Toxicity was scored according to NCI/CTC version 3

    Measured: Day 7 until Day 30

  3. Number of Participants With Skin Adverse Events During the Conditioning Regimen Prior to Stem Cell Transplantation

    Toxicity was scored according to NCI/CTC version 3

    Measured: Day 7 until Day 30

  4. Number of Participants With Other Adverse Events During the Conditioning Regimen Prior to Stem Cell Transplantation

    Toxicity was scored according to NCI/CTC version 3

    Measured: Day 7 until Day 30

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Progression is defined from stem cell infusion to disease relapse, i.e., recurrence of hematologic malignancy and/or need for treatment after transplant for disease or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Treatment-related Mortality (TRM)

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Relapse Rate

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Clofarabine, Melphalan and Campath in people with Advanced Hematologic Malignancies and Leukemia, run by University of Chicago 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?

The sponsor lists 17 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2014. 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 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 Feb 2014). 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?

Number of Participants With Hepatic Adverse Events During the Conditioning Regimen Prior to Stem Cell Transplantation (time frame: Day 7 until Day 30). The study lists 4 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 Feb 2014.
