About this study

Official title: Allogeneic Transplantation After a Conditioning With Thiotepa, Busulfan and Fludarabin for the Treatment of Refractory/Early Relapsed Aggressive B-cell Non Hodgkin Lymphomas: a Phase II Multi-Center Trial

What participants receive

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

  • ThiotepaDrug

    Also called TEPADINA®

  • BusulfanDrug

    Also called BUSILVEX®

  • FludarabinDrug

    Also called FLUDARA®

  • transplant (HCT)Procedure or surgery

    Transplant will be PBSCs collected as per institutional standard. A portion of the PBSC product will be removed for DLI that is equivalent to 3x10^7 CD3 cells/kg recipient weight and cryopreserved.

  • CytoreductionRadiation

    Cytoreduction and /or radiation therapy will be given by the referring physician or the attending physician as determined on clinical grounds or to meet eligibility requirements of the protocol for patients with advanced malignancy or to reduce tumor bulk. However, no intensive chemotherapy can be given within three weeks before conditioning.

  • ImmunosuppressionDrug

    Day -3. Commence cyclosporine at 5.0 mg/kg PO Q12 hours, continue to day +50 and then taper by 5% per week until day +180.

  • CyclosporineDrug

    CSP is given based on adjusted body weight, at 5.0 mg/kg PO q12 hours from day -3.

    If there is nausea and vomiting at anytime during CSP treatment the drug should be given intravenously at the appropriate dose that was used to obtain a therapeutic level.

    See guidelines for PO to IV conversion below.

  • MethotrexateDrug

    Day 1 15 mg Days 3, 6, 11 10 mg m2 day IV for GVHD prevention

  • ATGDrug

    Also called Anti-Human Thymocyte Globulin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Thiotepa, Busulfan and Fludarabin in people with B-cell Lymphoma Refractory, run by Azienda Ospedaliera San Giovanni Battista at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 8 Jul 2014. 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 Italy. 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 Benedetto Bruno, MD (+390116336728, benedetto.bruno@unito.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression free survival (time frame: 2 years). 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 8 Jul 2014.
