About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Trial of Standard of Care Treatment Versus Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Therapy Together With Standard of Care for the Treatment of de Novo Acute Graft Versus Host Disease Following Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation

A randomised study of corticosteroid therapy with or without mesenchymal stromal cell therapy for newly diagnosed acute graft versus host disease after bone marrow transplantation or donor lymphocyte therapy.

It is hypothesised that mesenchymal stromal cell therapy will be superior

Read the detailed description

Patients with newly diagnosed untreated acute graft versus host disease grades 2-4 will receive methylprednisolone 2.5mg/kg intravenously and randomised to receive or not receive allogeneic human mesenchymal stromal cells 2X10E6 intravenously on two occasions at weekly intervals

Being tested
Mesenchymal stromal cell therapy
Keywords
Acute graft versus host disease, Bone marrow transplantation, Mesenchymal stromal cells

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival at one year after onset of graft versus host disease

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Response at 14 days after commencement of treatment for acute graft versus host disease

    Measured: 14 days

  2. Response at 28 days after commencement of treatment of acute graft versus host disease

    Measured: 28 days

  3. Incidence of severe infection

    Measured: One year

  4. Disease free survival at one year

    Measured: One year

  5. Time to treatment failure, requiring salvage therapy

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Mesenchymal stromal cell therapy in people with Acute GVH Disease, run by R.P.Herrmann at 1 site in Australia.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 9 Jun 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 Australia. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Duncan Purtill, MB, BS (+61 8 61523788, duncan.purtill@health.gov.au), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival at one year after onset of graft versus host disease (time frame: One year). 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 9 Jun 2015.
