About this study

Official title: Donor Statin Treatment for Prevention of Severe Acute GVHD After Myeloablative Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

This phase II trial studies donor atorvastatin treatment for the prevention of severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients undergoing myeloablative peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation (TBI) before a donor PBSC transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also prevent the patient's immune system reject the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving atorvastatin to the donor before transplant may prevent this from happening.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess whether 2 weeks of donor statin treatment reduces the risk of severe acute GVHD.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess whether 2 weeks of statin treatment of normal PBSC donors is feasible, tolerable and safe.

OUTLINE:

Donors receive atorvastatin orally (PO) beginning on day -14 and continuing until the last day of stem cell collection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Grade 3-4 Acute GVHD

    Cumulative incidence rate of grade 3-4 acute GVHD with death as a completing risk, assessed at day 100 in the patients/recipients.

    Measured: First 100 days after transplant

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Chronic Extensive GVHD

    Cumulative incidence rate of chronic extensive GVHD with death as a competing risk, assessed at 2 years in the patients/recipients.

    Measured: 2 years post transplant

  2. Disease-free Survival

    Evaluated as Kaplan-Meier estimate in the patients/recipients.

    Measured: 1 year after transplant

  3. Grades II-IV Acute GVHD

    Cumulative incidence rate of grades II-IV acute GVHD with death as a competing risk, assessed at 100 days in the patients/recipients.

    Measured: First 100 days after transplant

  4. Non-relapse Mortality

    Cumulative incidence rate of non-relapse mortalities, assessed at day 100 in the patients/recipients.

    Measured: At day 100

  5. Non-relapse Mortality

    Cumulative incidence rate of non-relapse mortalities, assessed at one year in the patients/recipients.

    Measured: At 1 year after HCT

  6. Overall Survival

    Determined and presented as Kaplan-Meier estimates, assessed at 1 year in the patients/recipients.

    Measured: 1 year after transplant

  7. Proportion of Donors Who Have to Discontinue Atorvastatin Because of Toxicity

    Measured: Until completion of stem cell collection (on average 14 days)

  8. Proportion of Patients Requiring Secondary Systemic Immunosuppressive Therapy

    Measured: First 100 days after transplant

  9. Recurrent or Progressive Malignancy

    Cumulative incidence rate of recurrent or progressive malignancy with death as a competing risk, assessed at 3 years in the patients/recipients.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, Atorvastatin Calcium and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation in people with Malignant Neoplasm, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 3 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 8 inclusion and 14 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 17 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 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 17 Aug 2017). 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?

Grade 3-4 Acute GVHD (time frame: First 100 days after transplant). 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 17 Aug 2017.
