About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Addition to Standard Growth Factor Support for Hematopoietic Progenitor/Stem Cell Mobilization

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as a therapeutic option in mobilizing stem cells for autologous stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will receive HBOT daily for 10 days in conjunction with standard growth factor treatment regimens for stem cell mobilization. The role of HBOT in stem cell mobilization as well as its role on oxidative stress will be evaluated.

What participants receive

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

  • Hyperbaric Oxygen TherapyDrug

    Also called HBOT

    Treatment Monday through Friday in a monoplace hyoerbaric chamber 100% oxygen at 2.0 atmospheres (14.7 PSI or the equivalent of being under 33 feet of sea water) for 90 minutes at pressure. Treatment lasts 2 hours as time is allowed for gradual pressurization and depressurization. Each subject will be treated for two weeks for a total of 10 HBOT treatments

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Stem Cells Collected

    Total stem cells collected from all participants at one week post-study treatment

    Measured: one week post-treatment

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted10 Oct 2011 (estimated)
  2. Study startFeb 2012
  3. Primary completionJun 2013
  4. Study completionJun 2013

Why it stopped: Study was terminated early because the site that administered the hyperbaric oxygen treatment closed and an alternative site could not be identified.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by University of Arkansas 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 8 inclusion and 12 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 23 Feb 2015. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Feb 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?

Number of Stem Cells Collected (time frame: one week post-treatment). 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 23 Feb 2015.
