Trial summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if treating stem cell donors with filgrastim (G-CSF) and plerixafor (Mozobil®) can cause them to produce a higher number of blood stem cells than filgrastim by itself. Read more about this study

About this study

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if treating stem cell donors with filgrastim (G-CSF) and plerixafor (Mozobil®) can cause them to produce a higher number of blood stem cells than filgrastim by itself. Researchers also want to learn if giving both of these drugs helps donors produce enough stem cells so that only 1 apheresis procedure needs to be performed.

Researchers will study if using both drugs lowers the risk of the stem cell transplant recipients developing severe forms graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). GVHD is a condition in which transplanted tissue (such as blood stem cells) attacks the tissue of the recipient's body.

The safety and effectiveness of this drug combination will also be studied.

Filgrastim and plerixafor are both designed to help move or "mobilize" the stem cells from the bone marrow to the blood.

Read the detailed description

Stem Cell Transplant:

You will receive blood stem cells from a donor on this study. You will sign a separate informed consent for the transplant procedure.

Follow-Up Visits:

About 1, 3, and 6 months after the transplant, an extra sample of bone marrow (about 2 teaspoons) will be collected at the same time as the standard of care bone marrow aspiration/biopsy procedures. This bone marrow sample will be tested to find out how well the donated stem cells have been accepted by your body. However, you will not have a separate bone marrow aspiration/biopsy only to collect bone marrow for this testing.

When you return to the clinic at 6, 9, and 12 months for routine transplant follow-up visits, the study staff will try to get information on your health status from the clinic notes in your medical record. If this is not possible, you may receive a phone call from the study staff to check your health status. These calls will last about 10 minutes.

Length of Treatment:

You will be on study for about 1 year after the transplant (including follow-up contact by phone, if needed).

You may be taken off study early if you are not able to follow study directions or if you decide to leave the study.

This is an investigational study. Filgrastim is FDA approved for use in stem cell collection. Plerixafor is FDA approved for use in patients with multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Up to 30 donor and recipient pairs will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

What participants receive

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

  • FilgrastimDrug

    Also called Neupogen, Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, G-CSF, GCSF

    5 µg/kg in the morning daily for 4 days.

  • PlerixaforDrug

    Also called Mobozil

    240 µg/kg subcutaneously in the evening on the fourth day of Filgrastim mobilization.

  • Apheresis ProcedureProcedure or surgery

    The apheresis procedure will start in the morning of day 5, approximately 10 to 11 hours after the administration of Plerixafor.

    The apheresis procedure may continue beyond day 1 until the target dose of 4x106 CD34+ cells/kg (recipient's weight) is obtained.

Filgrastim + PlerixaforExperimentalEach donor receives Filgrastim 5 µg/kg subcutaneously in the morning daily for 4 days. The dose of Filgrastim based on the donor's actual body weight. Donors will continue Filgrastim until completion of apheresis. Each donor receives Plerixafor 240 µg/kg subcutaneously in the evening on the fourth day of Filgrastim mobilization. The dose-volume of Plerixafor based on the donor's actual body weight. Apheresis procedure to start the morning of day 5, approximately 10 to 11 hours after the administration of Plerixafor. The apheresis procedure will start in the morning of day 5, approximately 10 to 11 hours after the administration of Plerixafor. The apheresis procedure may continue beyond day 1 until the target dose of 4x106 cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34+) cells/kg (recipient's weight) is obtained.

What is being measured

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

  1. Summary of Most Common Toxicity: Donor Safety in Mobilizing Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cells (PBPC)

    Primary safety endpoint is the development of any unexpected toxicity (any grade 2 or higher non-hematologic toxicity) in donors. The severity of the toxicity - adverse events (AEs) graded according to Common Terminology Criteria v4.0 (CTCAE).

    Measured: 5 days

  2. Feasibility in Mobilizing PBPC in Donors: Number of Donors Reaching Stem Cell Target Collection on First Day of Collection Following Treatment of Filgrastim Plus Plerixafor

    Study determined to be feasible if all donors were able to receive Plerixafor without developing any grade 2 or higher non-hematologic toxicity. Feasibility of the combination of Filgrastim, Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) plus Plerixafor is to effectively mobilize CD34+ cells so that an adequate transplant (>4 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg) can be reliably collected with one apheresis for allogeneic HSCT.

    Measured: 4 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Filgrastim, Plerixafor and Apheresis Procedure in people with Blood And Marrow Transplantation, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer 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 1 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 23 Apr 2019. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Apr 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Summary of Most Common Toxicity: Donor Safety in Mobilizing Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cells (PBPC) (time frame: 5 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Apr 2019.
