Trial summary

In order to keep our immune systems healthy over our lifetime, certain cells in the bone marrow and lymph nodes called stromal cells nurture the immune cells and protect them from damage. Stromal cells and blood cells communicate using a protein called SDF1a. Read more about this study

About this study

In order to keep our immune systems healthy over our lifetime, certain cells in the bone marrow and lymph nodes called stromal cells nurture the immune cells and protect them from damage. Stromal cells and blood cells communicate using a protein called SDF1a. The investigators think that cancer cells including lymphoma and multiple myeloma can trick the stromal cells into helping them avoid damage from chemotherapy by using SDF1a.

Plerixafor is a drug developed to block the effects of SDF1a and has been approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for use in humans to help release blood stem cells from the bone marrow for use in transplantation. The use of plerixafor to interrupt communication between stromal cells and cancer has not been approved by the FDA and is experimental.

What participants receive

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

  • PlerixaforDrug

    Also called Mozobil

    Plerixafor will be dosed according to actual body weight. Each dose will be capped at 24 mg (single vial). Plerixafor will be administered subcutaneously according to the assigned cohort starting two hours before the scheduled start of high dose chemotherapy.

Study groups in NCT01610999
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cohort AExperimental0.24 mg/kg plerixafor on day 1
Receives: Drug: Plerixafor
Cohort BExperimental0.24 mg/kg plerixafor daily on days 1 \& 2
Receives: Drug: Plerixafor
Cohort CNo interventionSix "control" subjects will have research bloods drawn but receive no plerixafor.

What is being measured

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

  1. The rate of grade 2 or greater adverse events related to study participation will be compared to historical controls matched for diagnosis and chemotherapy regimen.

    Confirm the safety of the addition of plerixafor as a single dose or as a two-day dose commencing 2 hours before the high dose chemotherapy regimen prior to autologous stem cell transplantation.

    Measured: 2 hours before high dose chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Plerixafor in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by Tufts Medical Center 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 9 May 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Unavailability of study article). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The rate of grade 2 or greater adverse events related to study participation will be compared to historical controls matched for diagnosis and chemotherapy regimen. (time frame: 2 hours before high dose chemotherapy). 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 May 2017.
