Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 21 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age < 21 years.
  • Disease and disease status:
  • Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in morphologic remission (defined as < 5% blasts in a bone marrow aspirate of adequate cellularity performed within 28 days from start of conditioning).
  • Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS): Any 2008 WHO classification subtype (Appendix I). RAEB-2 patients may proceed directly to transplant, but may also be considered for induction chemotherapy before transplant. Patients with ≥20% morphologic marrow blasts will require induction therapy to reduce morphologic marrow blasts below 5% before transplant.
  • Karnofsky Index or Lansky Play-Performance Scale > 70 % on pre-transplant evaluation. Karnofsky scores must be used for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky scores for patients < 16 years of age.
  • Able to give informed consent if > 18 years, or with a legal guardian capable of giving informed consent if < 18 years.

  • Negative pregnancy test (serum, urine β-HCG, or other test per institutional guidelines) for females of childbearing potential.
  • A single previous autologous or allogeneic HCT is allowed as long as the time from first to second transplant hematopoietic cell infusion is no less than 6 months.
  • With a suitable allogeneic hematopoietic cell donor including, as available:
  • HLA-identical related donor matched for HLA-A, and -B at the serologic level at minimum and -DRB1 at high resolution by molecular typing. A single locus mismatched related donor (7/8 matched) is permitted only if there are no 8/8 matched unrelated donors available.
  • Unrelated volunteer donor matched for HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1 defined by high resolution molecular typing. A single HLA antigen or allele mismatch (7/8 matched) is permitted.
  • Unrelated cord blood (UCB) matched to the recipient at a minimum of 4 of 6 loci at HLA-A, and -B by intermediate resolution and -DRB1 by high resolution. Cord blood unit(s) will be selected using the following criteria:
  • Unit selection is based on the cryopreserved total nucleated cell (TNC) dose and matching at HLA-A, -B intermediate resolution and -DRB1 high resolution typing. While HLA-C antigen/allele level typing is not considered in the matching criteria, if available, it may be used to optimize unit selection.
  • Selection of two UCB units is required if a single UCB unit will not provide a sufficient cell dose (see Table 1 below). When two UCB units are not required per Table 1, two UCB units may be used with approval of the study chair or designee. When two units are selected, the following rules apply:
  • The UCB unit with the least HLA disparity with the patient, followed by the larger cell dose for equivalently matched units, will be considered unit #1 (selection priority is 6/6 match >5/6 match>4/6 match).
  • An additional UCB unit may be required to achieve the required cell dose, as outlined in the table below. The second unit will be the one that most closely HLA matches the patient and meets minimum size criteria as outlined below (i.e. a smaller and more closely matched unit will be selected over a larger less well matched unit as long as minimum cell dose criteria are met).
  • Each UCB unit MUST contain at least 1.5 x 10^7 TNC per kilogram recipient weight.
  • 3) Other comments about cord blood unit selection:
  • Use of unlicensed cord blood units will adhere to current federal regulatory requirements for procurement.
  • Units will be selected based on the TNC dose and HLA matching.
  • A UCB unit that is 4/6 or 5/6 mismatched but homozygous at the locus of mismatch should be chosen over a 5/6 unit with bidirectional mismatch even if the latter unit provides a larger cell dose. This is only applicable to choosing units within a given match grade.
  • Within the best HLA match grade, the unit containing the greatest number of cells will be chosen. If there are two units of equivalent cell dose within a match level, choose the unit with best match by higher resolution molecular typing, if known.
  • Other factors to be considered:
  • Within the same HLA match grade, matching at both DR loci is preferable. ii. UCB units sourced from cord blood banks located in the United States are preferred.
  • Younger units are preferred over older units, all other factors being equal.
  • Adequate organ function, defined as:
  • Pulmonary: FEV1, FVC, and corrected DLCO must all be ≥ 50% of predicted by pulmonary function tests (PFTs). For children who are unable to perform for PFTs due to age, the criteria are: no evidence of dyspnea at rest and there is no need for supplemental oxygen.
  • Renal: GFR estimated by the updated Schwartz formula ≥ 90/min/1.73 m2, i.e. height (cm)/serum creatinine (mg/dl) > 220. If the estimated creatinine clearance is < 90 ml/min/1.73 m2, then renal function must be measured by 24-hour creatinine clearance or nuclear GFR, and must be > 70 mL/minute/1.73 m2
  • Cardiac: Shortening fraction of ≥ 27% by echocardiogram or radionuclide scan (MUGA) or ejection fraction of ≥ 50% by echocardiogram or radionuclide scan (MUGA)
  • Hepatic: SGOT (AST) or SGPT (ALT) < 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age; Conjugated bilirubin < 2.5 mg/dL, unless attributable to Gilbert's Syndrome.
  • Co- enrollment in PBMTC ONC 1001 (CIBMTR 09-MRD) protocol and/or CIBMTR 10-CBA protocol (NMDP cord blood IND) is allowed. Co-enrollment on any other studies where experimental therapy is being administered will be handled on a case-by-case basis and must be discussed with the study chair or designee prior to enrollment.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant or lactating females are ineligible as many of the medications used in this protocol could be harmful to unborn children and infants.
  • Patients with HIV or uncontrolled fungal, bacterial or viral infections are excluded. Patients with history of fungal disease during induction therapy may proceed if they have a significant response to antifungal therapy with no or minimal evidence of disease remaining by CT evaluation.
  • Patients with active CNS leukemia or any other active site of extramedullary disease at the time of enrollment are not permitted. Note: Those with prior history of CNS or extramedullary disease, but with no active disease at the time of pre-transplant workup, are eligible.
  • Patients undergoing a course of chemotherapy using another investigational drug.
  • Patients diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Treosulfan/Fludarabine/Low Dose Total Body Irradiation as a Preparative Regimen for Children With AML/MDS Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

This is a prospective, open-label, nonrandomized, prospective clinical trial evaluating a fixed regimen of treosulfan, fludarabine and low-dose total body irradiation (TBI) in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The primary hypothesis is that HCT with a preparative regimen consisting of treosulfan, fludarabine and low-dose TBI will result in overall survival (OS) comparable to historical rates observed with conventional myeloablative regimens in the pediatric population. The preparative regimen will result in adequate incidence of neutrophil and platelet engraftment, and acceptable rates of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), relapse and survival. The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of treosulfan in children will be comparable to that of adults previously studied.

Read the detailed description

The proposed study will evaluate a regimen using treosulfan, fludarabine and low-dose TBI in children and adolescents with AML or MDS undergoing allogeneic HCT. We expect this regimen to yield lower toxicity and at least equivalent rates of disease control and overall survival, compared to current standard myeloablative regimens. The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of a transplant preparative regimen consisting of treosulfan, fludarabine and low-dose TBI for children with AML and MDS. The primary endpoint will be overall survival (OS) at one year. Secondary objectives to be studied include: pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of treosulfan in children < 40 kg, non-relapse mortality, disease-free survival, incidences of neutrophil and platelet engraftment, donor chimerism, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and relapse.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary endpoint will be overall survival (OS) at one year

    The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of a transplant preparative regimen consisting of treosulfan, fludarabine and low-dose TBI for children with AML and MDS. The primary endpoint will be overall survival (OS) at one year.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of Treosulfan in children < 40 kg

    Drug plasma concentrations will be determined by: Cmax; half lives (t1/2); area under the curve (AUC); volumes of distribution (V); clearances (CL); mean residence times (MRT)

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Non-Relapse Mortality

    The event is death in continuous remission treating relapse as the competing risk. Patients alive and in remission at the time of last observation will be censored.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Disease-Free Survival

    Disease-free survival is defined as the minimum time interval from transplant to relapse/recurrence of disease, to death or to last follow-up.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Neutrophil Engraftment

    Neutrophil engraftment is defined as achieving a donor derived absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 500/μL for three consecutive measurements on different days. The first of the three days will be designated as the time to neutrophil engraftment.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Donor Chimerism

    Peripheral blood chimerism (% of donor chimerism) in whole blood or fractions sorted for T-cell and myeloid subsets (CD3 and CD33) will be described on days 28, 42, 100, 180 and 365.

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)

    Incidences of grade II - IV and III - IV acute GVHD at days 42, 100, 180 and 365 will be graded according to the BMT CTN Manual of Procedures

    Measured: 1 year

  7. Relapse

    Testing for recurrent malignancy in the blood, marrow or other sites will be used to assess relapse after transplantation. For the purpose of this study, relapse is defined by either morphological or cytogenetic evidence of AML or MDS consistent with pre-transplant features. The event for this endpoint is the time interval from transplant to relapse/recurrence of disease or to last follow-up. Death in remission is considered a competing risk.

    Measured: 1 year

  8. Primary graft failure

    This endpoint will be evaluated separately for bone marrow/peripheral blood and cord blood.

    Primary graft failure is defined as lack of donor-derived neutrophil engraftment by 56 days. This time point was chosen to adjust for potential differences in time to engraftment that may be observed in cord blood vs. marrow/PBSC recipients. This outcome will be evaluated separately for bone marrow/peripheral blood and cord blood based on neutrophil count and peripheral blood chimerism obtained on day 42 ± 14. Relapse and death prior to neutrophil engraftment are considered competing risks for the endpoint of primary graft failure.

    Measured: 1 Year

  9. Platelet engraftment of > 20,000/μL and >50,000/μL

    Time to platelet engraftment is defined as the first day of a minimum of three consecutive measurements on different days such that the patient has achieved a platelet count > 20,000/μL and > 50,000/μL with no platelet transfusions in the preceding seven days. The first day of the three measurements will be designated as the day of platelet engraftment.

    Measured: 1 Year

  10. Chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)

    Incidence of chronic GVHD on days 100, 180 and 365 will be scored according to the BMT CTN MOP

    Measured: 1 Year

  11. Secondary graft failure

    Secondary graft failure is defined as initial donor-derived neutrophil engraftment followed by subsequent decline in ANC to < 500/μL for three consecutive measurements on different days, and unresponsive to growth factor therapy, with loss of donor chimerism to < 50% donor CD3 in peripheral blood.

    Measured: 1 year

  12. Primary cause of death

    Primary cause of death will be classified as: Relapse/Primary disease; GVHD; Infection; Organ Toxicity; Other

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Treosulfan in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), run by Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research at 23 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 31 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 primary endpoint will be overall survival (OS) at one year (time frame: 1 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 12 Oct 2016.
