About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study: Enhancing Donor Hematopoietic Cell Engraftment With Plerixafor in Myeloablative Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

This phase I/II clinical trial will test the safety and the efficacy of post transplant administration of plerixafor in enhancing hematological recovery in humans. Patients who are appropriate candidates for myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplantation from an HLA-matched sibling, matched unrelated donor or umbilical cord blood are eligible for enrollment. The investigators plan to enroll a total of 50 patients for this study (30 patients with HLA-matched sibling or matched unrelated donor transplant, and 20 patients with umbilical cord blood transplant). During phase I study, a small number of patients (3-6 patients from each group) will be enrolled to determine the safety of post transplant administration of plerixafor. Patients will receive plerixafor given at 240 µg/kg subcutaneously every other day beginning at day +2 after transplant until day +21 or engraftment. Limiting toxicities are defined as primary or secondary graft failure, plerixafor-related severe premature ventricular arrhythmia or death. If safety criteria are met from the investigators phase I study, the investigators will proceed with phase II study to determine the efficacy of post transplant administration of plerixafor in enhancing haematological recovery. The experimental aspect of this study is the use of plerixafor and all other aspects of care will be in line with the standard of care. Both Phase I and Phase II patients will be combined for efficacy analysis, and data collected from this study will be compared with the investigators historical control. The results from this study will set the stage and provide the justification for a larger phase 3 trial.

Read the detailed description

Recruitment to this trial will be stratified by donor type as HLA (human leukocyte antigen) matched sibling, matched unrelated donor or umbilical cord blood. Patients will be conditioned with a myeloablative regimen such as, but not limited to, total body irradiation and cyclophosphamide. The donor stem cell grafts will come from mobilized peripheral blood of 8/8 or 7/8 HLA-identical family members, 8/8 (HLA A, B, C, DRBeta1) allele-level matched unrelated donors, or dual umbilical cord blood grafts with at least 4 of 6 HLA matching at HLA A and B (low resolution) and DRBeta1 (at high resolution). The target CD34+ cell dose will be 5 X 10(6)/kg recipient ideal body weight. For HLA matched sibling or matched unrelated donor (MUD) transplants, all patients will receive a minimum of 2 X 10(6) CD 24+ cells/kg. For cord blood transplants, each unit will contain a minimum total nucleated cell count of of 1.5 X 10(7)/kg. Post-transplant GVHD (graft versus host disease) prophylaxis will be given per institutional standard.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Plerixafor in people with Failure of Bone Marrow Graft, run by Mitchell Horwitz, MD at 2 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 11 inclusion and 3 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 25 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 26 Nov 2015). 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?

Time to Neutrophil Recovery (time frame: 100 Days post Transplant). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01280955, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Apr 2017.
