About this study

Official title: Sirolimus and Mycophenolate Mofetil as GvHD Prophylaxis in Myeloablative, Matched Related Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

A continuation study of sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) prophylaxis for patients undergoing matched related allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for acute and chronic leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), high risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), or Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)

Read the detailed description

To explore the novel combination of sirolimus and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) prevention in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related donor peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) or marrow transplantation (BMT), collectively hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This study will report the toxicities associated with this drug combination.

For all treatments and procedures, Study Day is based on the day of HSCT as Day 0.

Being tested
Sirolimus, Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), Carmustine, Etoposide, Cyclophosphamide (Cyclo, CY)
Medical subject headings
Hematologic Diseases, Leukemia, Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, Hodgkin Disease

What participants receive

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

  • SirolimusDrug

    Also called Rapamycin, Rapamune

    Immunosuppressant administered orally to:

    • Adults (age 14 and older), beginning on Day -3 with 12 mg loading dose, followed by 4 mg/day.
    • Children < 13 years or weighing 40 kg, beginning on Day -3 with 3 mg/m² loading dose, followed by 1 mg/ m², rounded to the nearest full milligram.

    Daily dosage may be adjusted to maintain a target serum trough level of 3 to 12 ng/ml. Sirolimus dose tapering will begin at Day 100 in the absence of GvHD, with the goal of discontinuation by 6 months.

  • Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)Drug

    Immunosuppressant given intravenously (IV) at 15 mg/kg 3 times daily, starting on Day 0 ≥ 2 hr after the completion of the HSCT infusion. Dose of MMF will be based on actual body weight, but limited to 15 kg above ideal body weight. MMF dose tapering will begin at Day 100 in the absence of GvHD, with the goal of discontinuation by 6 months.

  • CarmustineDrug

    Also called Bis-chloroethylnitrosourea (BCNU, BiCNU)

    For Carmustine + Etoposide + Cyclophosphamide cohort, chemotherapy administered IV on Day -6 at the lesser of 15 mg/kg or 550 mg/m².

  • EtoposideDrug

    Also called VP-16, VP16

    For Carmustine + Etoposide + Cyclophosphamide cohort, chemotherapy administered IV on Day -4 at 60 mg/kg

  • Cyclophosphamide (Cyclo, CY)Drug

What is being measured

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

    Assessed as the incidence of grade 2 to 4 acute graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) at Day 100 post-transplant.

    Stage of Acute GvHD was assessed as follows.

    • Stage 1: Skin: rash < 25% of skin. Liver: bilirubin 2 to 3 mg/dL. Gut: diarrhea > 500 mL/day or persistent nausea with positive biopsy for GvHD
    • Stage 2: Skin: rash 25 to 50% of skin. Liver: bilirubin 3 to 6 mg/dL. Gut: diarrhea >1000 mL/day.
    • Stage 3: Skin: rash > 50% of skin. Liver: bilirubin 6 to 15 mg/dL. Gut: diarrhea > 1500 mL/day.
    • Stage 4: Skin: generalized erythroderma with bulla formation. Liver: bilirubin > 15 mg/dL. Gut: severe abdominal pain with or without ileus

    Grade of Acute GvHD was determined as follows.

    • Grade 1: Stage 1-2 Skin + No Liver stage + No Gut stage
    • Grade 2: Stage 3 Skin OR Stage 1 Liver or Stage 1 Gut
    • Grade 3: No Skin stage + Stage 2 to 3 Liver Stage 2 to 4 Gut
    • Grade 4: Stage 4 Skin + or Stage 2 to 3 Liver + No Gut stage

    • Grade 2: Stage 3 Skin OR Stage 1 Liver or Stage 1 Gut
    • Grade 3: No Skin stage + Stage 2 to 3 Liver Stage 2 to 4 Gut
    • Grade 4: Stage 4 Skin + or Stage 2 to 3 Liver + No Gut stage

    Measured: 100 days post-transplant

  2. Disease-free Survival (DFS)

    Assessed as survival without recurrence of disease

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is defined as time from enrollment to time of death or last follow-up, within 2 years.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Veno-occlusive Disease (VoD)

    Assessed as the incidence of veno-occlusive disease (VoD) at 100 days post-transplant.

    Measured: 100 days post-transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sirolimus, Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and Carmustine in people with Hematologic Diseases and Acute-graft-versus-host Disease, run by Stanford University 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 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2017. 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 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 5 Jun 2017). 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?

Acute Graft-vs-Host Disease (GvHD) (Grade 2 to 4) (time frame: 100 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 5 Jun 2017.
