About this study

Official title: Combined HLA-Matched Bone Marrow and Kidney Transplantation for Multiple Myeloma or Other Hematologic Disorders With End Stage Renal Disease

This pilot trial offers the unique opportunity for both the treatment of multiple myeloma or systemic AL amyloidosis for which hematopoietic stem cell transplantation would be ordinarily indicated and the reversal of end-stage renal failure, while avoiding the risks associated with long-term standard anti-rejection therapy used in renal transplantation. The primary objectives of this study are to assess renal allograft tolerance (that is, the acceptance of the kidney without the need for anti-rejection therapy), assess anti-tumor response rates in multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis, and assess complication rates for genetically (HLA) matched related donor combined bone marrow and kidney transplantation using a low dose total body irradiation based preparative regimen.

Read the detailed description

The induction of transplantation tolerance involves the specific elimination of the immune response to the transplant but not to other antigens. In the realm of kidney transplantation, tolerance means that the recipient is unable to detect the donor transplant kidney as foreign, and therefore the recipient is unable to reject the kidney. Donor bone marrow engraftment leads to kidney graft tolerance in animal models. Renal failure is a major complication of multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis for which the only known cure is allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Standard bone marrow transplantation is associated with prohibitive toxicities in patients with end stage renal disease, and is generally not considered an option for those patients. Patients with multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis are excluded from conventional renal transplantation protocols because of their underlying malignancy. A less toxic bone marrow transplantation protocol, utilizing low dose total body irradiation and anti-thymocyte globulin, combined with renal transplantation, could provide an opportunity for cure of the myeloma or amyloidosis and correction of end stage renal disease. In addition, successful marrow engraftment may be expected to lead to a state of tolerance. Successful implementation of tolerance would be a major benefit to transplant recipients. The significance of developing tolerance is that the patient could be spared the disabling complications of indefinite immunosuppression, which include infections, cataracts, osteoporosis, diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and malignancy.

What participants receive

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

  • TacrolimusDrug

    Tacrolimus starting on Day -1

  • Equine Anti-thymocyte globulinDrug

    20 mg/kg IV on Days -3, -1, +1, +3

  • Kidney transplant from a related donorProcedure or surgery

    On Day 0 the renal transplant is performed according to standard surgical techniques.

  • Bone marrow transplant from a related donorDrug

    Donor bone marrow (> 2 x 10e8 nucleated cells/kg of recipient body weight) is prepared for infusion according to the standard procedure. The infusion begins in the operating room as soon as the vascular anastomosis of the renal allograft has been completed.

  • Total body irradiation 400 centigray (200 cGy X 2)Radiation

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Without Renal Allograft Rejection at 6 Months Post-transplant

    The Primary Outcome is: the incidence of renal allograft rejection at 6 months post-transplant

    Measured: 6 Months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Anti-Tumor Response Rate

    This is measurement is summarized via bone marrow biopsy results and blood assays through 3 years.

    Anti-tumor response is assessed according to Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR.org) criteria.

    For multiple myeloma, based on assessment of serum and urine immunofixation, the presence or absence of soft tissue plasmacytomas and analyses of bone marrow aspirate and biopsy samples, response categories include stringent complete remission (sCR), complete remission (CR), near CR (nCR) very good partial response (VGPR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progressive disease (PD).

    For AL amyloidosis, based on assessment of serum and urine immunofixation and serum free light chain ratio, hematologic response categories include complete response, very good partial response, partial response, no response/stable disease and progressive disease. Organ responses are also assessed according to organ specific criteria.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tacrolimus, Equine Anti-thymocyte globulin and Kidney transplant from a related donor in people with Multiple Myeloma and Amyloidosis, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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?

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 13 Dec 2022. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Dec 2022). 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?

Number of Participants Without Renal Allograft Rejection at 6 Months Post-transplant (time frame: 6 Months). 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 13 Dec 2022.
