About this study

Official title: Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation With Fixed Dose of T Cells After in Vitro T Cell Depletion Using CD3 Monoclonal Antibody for Children With Acquired Severe Aplastic Anemia

Rationale: Fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, anti-thymocyte globulin and low-dose total body irradiation (LD-TBI) may induce the engraftment cross the immunologic barrier in the setting of HLA-haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. In addition, depletion of CD3 cells may contribute to prevent developing severe acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) in haploidentical transplantation.

Purpose: Phase II trials to evaluate the efficacy of haploidentical stem cell transplantation with fixed dose of T cells after in vitro T cell depletion using CD3 monoclonal antibody for children with acquired severe aplastic anemia

Being tested
Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide, anti-thymocyte globulin, filgrastim, Total body irradiation
Keywords
Aplastic anemia, T cell dose, CD3 depletion, Haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Medical subject headings
Anemia, Aplastic

  3. To assess treatment related mortality

    Number of death after transplantation

    Measured: 100 days posttransplant

  4. To estimate overall survival and failure free survival

    Measured: 1 year posttransplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide and anti-thymocyte globulin in people with Acquired Aplastic Anemia, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 2013. 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 South Korea. 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 Ho Joon Im, MD, PhD (82-2-3010-3371, hojim@amc.seoul.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To assess engraftment rate and survival of haploidentical stem cell transplantation with fixed dose of T cells after in vitro T cell depletion using CD3 monoclonal antibody for children with acquired severe aplastic anemia (time frame: 2 years posttransplant). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01759732, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 3 Jan 2013.
