About this study

Official title: T-Cell Depleted Double UCB With Post Transplant IL-2 for Refractory Myeloid Leukemia

This trial is proposes to build on our experience and is designed to maximize early (day 3-14) and late (day 60-71) donor-derived natural killer (NK) cell expansion and function in vivo. The proposed platform will allow us the unique opportunity to compare in vivo function from a transplanted umbilical cord blood (UCB) source (presumed to contain NK progenitors requiring "education" in the recipient).

Read the detailed description

This single center study will determine the feasibility and safety of using a myeloablative conditioning regimen followed (on day 0) by transplantation with double T-cell depleted (TCD) umbilical cord blood (UCB) units where the unit with fewer mononuclear cells (MNCs)/kg will be selected for overnight IL-2 activation prior to infusion. Beginning on day +3, post transplant IL-2 will be administered thrice weekly, not on consecutive days, for a total of 6 doses to expand UCB derived progenitor cells. Post transplant immune suppression prophylaxis will not be administered with the intent to lessen toxicity and allow allogeneic NK cells to function longer providing better anti-leukemic therapy. However if either UCB unit has more than 5% T-cells, the patient will not receive either course of IL-2. Beginning on day +60 after transplantation, a second course of IL-2 will be administered thrice weekly, not on consecutive days, for a total of 6 doses with the purpose of enhancing the in vivo expansion and education of NK cells derived from engrafting UCB cells.

Being tested
Allopurinol, Fludarabine, Total body irradiation, Cyclophosphamide, Levetiracetam

What participants receive

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

    On Day 8 pre-transplant, start hydration with allopurinol per standard of care.

  • FludarabineDrug

    Also called Fludara

    On Days 7, 6 and 5 pre-transplant, 25 mg/m^2 intravenously over 1 hour.

  • Total body irradiationRadiation

    Also called Radiation

    On Days 5, 4, 3, and 2 pre-transplant, 165 cGy times 2 (330 cGy daily, 1320 total dose) according to the University Of Minnesota Blood and Marrow Transplant Program total body irradiation (TBI) guidelines.

  • CyclophosphamideDrug

    Also called Cytoxan

    On Days 7 and 6 pre-transplant, 60 mg/kg intravenously (IV) over 2 hours with a high volume fluid flush and mesna per institutional guidelines.

  • Umbilical Cord Blood TransplantationBiological

    Also called UCBT

    Day 0: Two UCB units will compose the graft. The infusion of the first UCB unit should begin within 15 minutes, and no later than 30 minutes after arrival on the Unit. The UCB unit without IL-2 activation will be infused first, followed by the IL-2 activated unit. Both cords will be infused within 30-60 minutes of each other as deemed clinically safe by the BMT attending.

  • Interleukin-2Biological

    Also called IL-2

    First Course of IL-2 (begin day +3) post-transplant: For patients ≥ 45 kg, IL-2 will be given at 9 million units every other day for a total of 6 doses subcutaneously. Patients weighing less than 45 kilograms, the IL-2 will be dosed at 5 million units/m^2 every other day for a total of 6 doses.

    Second Course of IL-2 (day +60):

    Patients will receive a second course of IL-2 beginning on Day +60 post transplant to expand and educate the NK cells derived from the UCB graft source.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease Free Survival

    The primary endpoint is a disease free survival at 3 months in patients with chemotherapy refractory AML after a double T-cell depleted (TCD) umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation where one TCD unit is activated overnight in IL-2 followed by the administration of two courses of IL-2 three times a week for 6 doses beginning on day +3 and on day +60 to expand UCB-derived NK cells in vivo.

    Measured: At 3 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Incidence of Graft Failure

    Incidence of graft failure defined as an absolute neutrophil count of less than 500/uL and a bone marrow that is less than 5% cellular (marrow aplasia)

    Measured: Day 42

  2. Incidence of Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease

    Measured: Day 60

  3. Transplant-Related Mortality

    Measured: Day 180 after Transplantation

  4. Clinical Disease Response

    Defined as leukemia clearance and complete remission. Patients will be followed for disease response for 1 year from transplantation unless: consent is withdrawal, patient is unevaluable - if a patient is not evaluable, follow only until the resolution or stabilization of treatment related toxicity, new anti-cancer treatment is started, patient is discharged to hospice (terminal) care.

    Measured: 1 Year from Transplantation

  5. Duration of Survival

    Measured: 6 months after Transplantation.

  6. Duration of Survival

    Measured: 1 year after Transplantation.

  7. Duration of Survival

    Measured: 2 years after Transplantation.

  8. Clinical Disease Response

    Defined as leukemia clearance and complete remission. Patients will be followed for disease response for 2 years from transplantation unless: consent is withdrawal, patient is unevaluable - if a patient is not evaluable, follow only untilthe resolution or stabilization of treatment related toxicity, new anti-cancer treatment is started, patient is discharged to hospice (terminal) care.

    Measured: 2 Years from Transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Allopurinol, Fludarabine and Total body irradiation in people with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Refractory Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota 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 13 inclusion and 6 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 28 Dec 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 15 May 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?

Disease Free Survival (time frame: At 3 months). 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 28 Dec 2017.
