About this study

Official title: Post Transplant Infusion of Allogeneic Cytokine Induced Killer Cells as Consolidative Therapy After Non-Myeloablative Allogeneic Transplantation in Patients With Myelodysplasia or Myeloproliferative Disorders

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (transplant of blood cells from another individual) is a treatment option for patients with myelodysplasia or myeloproliferative Disorders. During the course of this study, it will be evaluated whether a particular type of blood cell, called a cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cell, may add benefit to allogeneic stem cell transplantation. CIK cells are present in small quantities in the bloodstream but their numbers can be expanded after a brief period of nurturing in a laboratory.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objectives:

To determine the rate of conversion to FDC following infusion of allogeneic CIK cells among patients with MDS, therapy-related myeloid neoplasms, or MPD who receive non myeloablative preparative regimen of TLI / ATG followed by allogeneic HCT and consolidation with allogeneic CIK cells.

Secondary Objectives:

  • To determine the 2 year overall survival (OS) and event free survival (EFS)
  • To determine the incidence of acute GVHD following infusion of allogeneic CIK cells
  • To assess the pre-transplant expression of NKG2D ligands in patients' bone marrow aspirates.
Being tested
CIK cells, Cyclosporine, Mycophenolate Mofetil, Thymoglobulin, Total Lymphoid Irradiation (TLI)
Medical subject headings
Neural Tube Defects, Anemia, Leukemia, Myeloid, Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Myeloproliferative Disorders

What is being measured

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

  1. Full Donor Chimerism (FDC)

    Proportion of patients achieving full donor T-cell chimerism (FDC) by on or before Day 90 post non-myeloablative allogeneic transplant with allogeneic cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells will be determined. FDC is defined as the attainment of >95% donor type CD3+ cells. The outcome will be reported as number of participants who achieved full donor chimerism, a number without dispersion.

    Measured: 90 days

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

    Overall survival (OS) is an expression of the number of participants that remain alive 2 years after cytokine-induced killer (CIK) infusion. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants alive 2 years after CIK infusion, a number without dispersion.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Event-free Survival (EFS) Rate

    Event-free Survival (EFS) rate will be assessed on all enrolled participants and is defined as the duration of time after cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cell infusion that the participants remain alive with experiencing relapse, Grade 3 to 4 acute graft vs host disease (aGVHD), or death. The outcome will be reported as the number of participants, stratified by receipt of CIK cells, that did not experience a specified event, a number without dispersion.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Number of Participants That Experience Grade 2 to 4 aGvHD Within 100 Days and 1 Year

    Acute graft vs host disease (aGvHD) Grade 2 to 4 was staged \& graded using modified Keystone criteria, as below. The outcome is reported as the number of participants that experience Grade 2 to 4 aGvHD within 100 days and 1 year.

    • Stage 1: Skin: rash < 25% of skin. Liver: bilirubin 2 to 3 mg/dL. Gut: diarrhea 500 to 1000 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 to 1500 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 aGvHD 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

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Pre-transplant Expression of Natural-killer Group 2, Member D (NKG2D) Ligands

    Pre-transplant expression of natural-killer group 2, member D (NKG2D) ligands MIC A, MIC B, and the UL16 binding proteins (ULBPs) will be assessed in participants' bone marrow aspirates. The outcomes is expressed as the number of participants whose expression level for each ligand was elevated compared to background, represented by the known levels for individual without cancer.

    Measured: Pre-transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CIK cells, Cyclosporine and Mycophenolate Mofetil in people with Neural Tube Defects and Anemia, run by Everett Meyer 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 4 inclusion and 17 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 7 May 2019. 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 7 May 2019). 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?

Full Donor Chimerism (FDC) (time frame: 90 days). 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 NCT01392989, 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 7 May 2019.
