Trial summary

Long-term follow-up studies have demonstrated significant late toxicities of total body irradiation (TBI), which are most marked in children radiated at a young age. Growth failure, decline in cognitive function, and endocrine abnormalities have all been described. Read more about this study

  • CBC: ANC ≥ 1000ml and unsupported platelet count of ≥ 50,000/ml
  • Documented HSV and CMV titers, Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis C by serology, HIV by serology: all negative.
  • Hepatic transaminases < 2.5x normal; Total bilirubin < 2 mg/dl Patients who do not meet above organ function criteria (liver, cardiac, renal), due to the presence of a tumor compromising these organs, may have exception made for these criteria and remain eligible for treatment plan after consultation with Program Director of Blood and Marrow Transplant

Who cannot join

  • Patients with neoplastic or non-neoplastic disease of any major organ system that would compromise their ability to withstand the pre-transplant conditioning regimen.
  • Patients with uncontrolled (culture or biopsy positive) infections requiring intravenous antivirals, antibiotics, or antifungals. Patients on prolonged antifungal therapy with a history of fungal infection should be considered for a non-myeloablative protocol.
  • Patients who are pregnant or lactating. Patients of childbearing potential must practice an effective method of birth control while participating on this treatment plan.
  • HIV seropositive patients

About this study

Official title: Treatment Plan for Hematologic Malignancies Using Intravenous Busulfan and Cyclophosphamide Instead of Total Boby Irradiation (TBI) and Cyclophosphamide to Examine Results, Success and Side Effects of Treatment With Chemotherapy Only, as a Preparative Therapy for Patients With Cord Blood Transplants

Long-term follow-up studies have demonstrated significant late toxicities of total body irradiation (TBI), which are most marked in children radiated at a young age. Growth failure, decline in cognitive function, and endocrine abnormalities have all been described. Good outcomes can be achieved with alkylating agents only as a preparative regimen. This plan will use a combination of busulfan and cyclophosphamide (Bu/Cy) with or without antithymocyte globulin (ATG) to reduce the late toxicities of therapy that includes TBI.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Busulfan/Cyclophosphamide in people with Acute Leukemias and Chronic Leukemias, run by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center.

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 9 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Overall survival (time frame: Five years). 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 21 Apr 2011.
