About this study

Official title: GCSF Plus Plerixafor as First-line Treatment for Autologous Stem Cells Harvest in Children With Malignant Diseases in Need for High-dose Chemotherapy With Stem Cell Rescue.

Plerixafor has been intensively used in recent years for harvesting autologous stem cells from lymphoma and myeloma adult patients. Its use is indicated after failure to harvest with GCSF alone. Nevertheless, in the pediatric population its appliance is less well established and the indications are less well confirmed .Several disease states and diagnoses may prompt the anticipation of difficulties in harvesting stem cells using GCSF only. Such patients may benefit utilizing plerixafor in first-line rather than exhausting the stem cell niche with GCSF alone and only than go for plerixafor as second-line rescue procedure.

In this study we propose to examine the applicability and feasibility of harvesting autologous stem cells by means of GCSF + plerixafor in first-line measure for pediatric patients with specific indications.

Read the detailed description

Improve and report outcomes of children undergoing peripheral stem and progenitor cell harvesting applying plerixafor in first-line aphaeresis, including:

Pre-harvesting FACS-derived CD34+ cell number. Number of stem cells harvested. Number of T-cells harvested. Days of hospitalization.

Procedure related toxicity including:

Infections. Line complications. Other organ toxicities.

Compare outcomes of plerixafor-derived stem and progenitor cells harvesting between different pediatric oncological diseases, including high-risk neuroblastoma, high-risk brain tumors, high-risk sarcomas and relapsed lymphomas.

Outcomes to be analyzed:

  1. Peripheral blood stem cell content by means of percentage of CD34+ cells, after conditioning protocol (4 days of 10mcg/kg GCSF per day and one dose of plerixafor 0.24mg/kg 10 hours before collection) and before harvesting.
  2. Number of stem cells harvested.
  3. Morbidity:
  4. Bleeding at the time of catheter placement, during harvesting procedure and post harvesting.
  5. Infections: localized vs. generalized. Type of pathogen isolated.
  6. Platelet number and hemoglobin level post harvesting.
  7. kidney function.
  8. Duration of hospitalization: Evaluation of the time course from the day of hospitalization for the harvesting to the day of discharge.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peripheral blood stem cell content by means of percentage of CD34+ cells

    1. Peripheral blood stem cell content before harvesting by means of percentage of CD34+ cells, after conditioning protocol (4 days of 10mcg/kg GCSF per day) and after adding one dose of plerixafor 0.24mg/kg 10 hours before collection.
    2. Number of CD34+ stem cells that were collected after adding plerixafor with relation to the target number of stem cells needed.

    Measured: After conditioning protocol (4 days of 10mcg/kg GCSF per day), and on the fifth day after one dose of plerixafor 0.24mg/kg, 10 hours before collection - before harvesting. After harvesting - the number of collected CD34+ cells.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Plerixafor in people with Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation, run by Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 10 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Menachem Bitan, MD,PhD (972-3-6974270, menachembi@tlvmc.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Peripheral blood stem cell content by means of percentage of CD34+ cells (time frame: After conditioning protocol (4 days of 10mcg/kg GCSF per day), and on the fifth day after one dose of plerixafor 0.24mg/kg, 10 hours before collection - before harvesting. After harvesting - the number of collected CD34+ cells.). 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 10 Dec 2013.
