About this study

Official title: A Phase I Pediatric Study of a Plerixafor Containing Regimen In Second Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

Patients with refractory hematologic malignancies, including those who develop recurrent disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have a dismal prognosis. Historically, both regimen-related mortality and disease recurrence have been significant causes of treatment failure in this heavily pre-treated patient population. Novel therapeutic agents that target molecular signaling mechanisms and increase the sensitivity of leukemic cells to apoptosis may clearly play a role in this setting.

This study hypothesizes that interrupting the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis using the selective CXCR4 antagonist plerixafor may be useful as a leukemic stem cell mobilizing agent for patients who are refractory to standard dose chemotherapy and in relapse after an allogeneic transplant. This hypothesis is based on the dependence of leukemia cells on MSCs for survival signals as described above and on the preclinical data that suggest increased efficacy by antileukemia agents when leukemia cells are separated from MSCs.

In the present trial, the study proposes to add plerixafor to enhance the conditioning regimen cytotoxicity. At this time the goal is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of plerixafor through the process of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluation. Pharmacokinetic studies will be conducted. Additional studies will quantify and the content of leukemia cells and key regulatory and effector T cell populations in the bone marrow and blood before and after exposure to this medication.

If the observed outcomes of this trial are promising, it could serve as a platform on which to study further use of plerixafor as a complimentary agent with conditioning as well as other chemotherapeutic regimens for patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies.

Read the detailed description

This study will determine the following objectives:

  1. To determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of plerixafor in combination with fludarabine, thiotepa, and melphalan as a conditioning regimen for children and young adults undergoing a second allogeneic stem cell transplant (SCT) procedure.
  2. The study determines the secondary objectives:
  • To describe the pharmacokinetic properties of plerixafor in this study population
  • To estimate the cumulative incidence of relapse and overall survival in study participants at one year after this second transplant procedure
  1. Other exploratory objectives include:
  • To study the correlation between the pharmacokinetic properties of plerixafor and key regulatory and effector T cell populations in blood before and after exposure to plerixafor.
  • To evaluate the content of leukemia cells in bone marrow and in blood before and after exposure to plerixafor
  • To evaluate key regulatory and effector T cell populations in bone marrow and in blood before and after exposure to plerixafor

What participants receive

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

  • PlerixaforDrug

    Also called AMD3100, Mozobil®

    Plerixafor in combination with fludarabine, thiotepa and melphalan as a conditioning regimen for patients undergoing a second allogeneic transplant procedure (bone marrow or peripheral blood). A traditional 3+3 phase I design will be employed during this study, where dose escalations are planned in groups of 3 participants. No intra-participant escalation will be allowed and dose escalation will not be considered until toxicity information is available from at least 3 evaluable participants at the current dose level.Plerixafor will be given intravenously (IV) rather than subcutaneously (SQ) to minimize discomfort associated with repeated daily injections (up to 3) to the pediatric population of this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Plerixafor in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital 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 22 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 1 Jan 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 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 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 determine the dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of plerixafor in combination with fludarabine, thiotepa and melphalan as a conditioning regimen for patients undergoing a second allogeneic transplant procedure. (time frame: 7 days post transplant). 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 1 Jan 2014.
