What participants receive

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

  • FludarabineDrug

    Also called Fludara

    Fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day will be administered over 30-60 minutes intravenous infusion on Days -6 through -2. Fludarabine will be dosed according to the recipient's Adjusted Ideal Body Weight (AIBW) unless AIBW is less than Ideal Body Weight (IBW).

    For decreased creatinine clearance (< 61 mL/min) determined by the Cockcroft Formula:

    Cockcroft-Gault CrCl = (140-age) * (Wt in kg) * (0.85 if female) / (72 * Cr)

    Fludarabine dosage should be reduced per standard of care.

  • CyclophosphamideDrug

    Pre-transplant

    Cy 14.5 mg/kg/day will be administered as a 1-2 hour intravenous infusion with a high volume fluid flush on Days -6 and -5. Cy will be dosed according to the recipient's actual body weight unless the patient weighs more than 125% of IBW, in which case the drug will be dosed according to the adjusted IBW

    Post-transplant

    Hydration prior to cyclophosphamide may be given according to Standard Practice Guidelines.

    Cyclophosphamide [50mg/kg] will be given on Day 3 post-transplant (between 60 and 72 hours after marrow infusion) and on Day 4 post-transplant (approximately 24 hours after Day 3 cyclophosphamide). Cy will be dosed according to the recipient's actual body weight unless the patient weighs more than 125% of IBW, in which case the drug will be dosed according to the adjusted IBW. Cyclophosphamide will be given as an IV infusion over 1-2 hours.

    .

  • MesnaDrug

    Also called Mesnex

    Pre-transplant

    Mesna should be given in divided doses IV 30 min pre- and at 3, 6, and 8 hours post-cyclophosphamide. Mesna dose will be based on the cyclophosphamide dose being given. The total daily dose of mesna is equal to 100% of the total daily dose of cyclophosphamide.

    Post-transplant

    Mesna should be given in divided doses IV 30 min pre- and at 3, 6, and 8 hours post-cyclophosphamide. Mesna dose will be based on the cyclophosphamide dose being given. The total daily dose of mesna is equal to 100% of the total daily dose of cyclophosphamide.

  • Total Body IrradiationRadiation

    200 cGy will be administered in a single fraction on Day -1 via linear accelerator.

  • Hematopoietic stem cell infusionOther

    Also called PBSC

    Donors who consent to PBSC donation will receive 5 daily doses of G-CSF, 10 μg/kg/day by subcutaneous injection commencing on day -5. PBSC's will be collected in the afternoon of day -1, stored at 4C overnight, and infused as soon as possible on day 0. If the collection on day -1 contains less than 5.0 X 106 CD34+ cells per kg recipient weight, a second collection will be performed the following morning and infused on day 0. Quantitation of CD34 and CD3 cells will be performed by the Cellular Therapy Lab. For all patients, the target number of CD34 cells to be infused should be 5-6 X 106 cells per kg recipient weight. PBSC in excess of 6.0 x 106 CD34 cells/kg recipient weight may be cryopreserved.

  • TacrolimusDrug

    Also called Astagraf XL, Hecoria, Prograf

    Tacrolimus will be given at a dose of .03 mg/kg IV over 24 hours. Tacrolimus will be changed to a PO dosing schedule once a therapeutic level is achieved and the patient is tolerating PO. Whole bloodblood levels of tacrolimus will be measured around Day 7 and then should be checked at least weekly thereafter and the dose adjusted accordingly to maintain a level of 5-10 ng/mL. Tacrolimus will be discontinued after the last dose around Day 180, or may be continued if active GVHD is present. Cyclosporine (target concentration 200-400 ng/ml) may be substituted for tacrolimus if the patient is intolerant of tacrolimus.

  • MycophenolateDrug

    Also called CellCept, Myfortic

    Either the sodium salt of mycophenolate or mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) may be used as prophylaxis of GvHD and will be dosed by actual bodyweight. Only MMF is available as IV formulation. Sodium mycophenolate will be given at a dose of 10mg/kg PO TID rounded to the nearest number of 180mg tablets. MMF will be given at a dose of 15 mg/kg PO TID. The maximum total daily dose should not exceed 2160 mg (sodium salt) or 3 grams (mofetil). Mycophenolate prophylaxis will be discontinued after the last dose on Day 35, or may be continued if active GVHD is present.

  • G-CSFDrug

    Also called Granulocyte - Colony Stimulating Factor, Filgrastim, Neupogen®

    G-CSF will be given beginning on Day 5 at a dose of 5 mcg/kg/day (rounding to the nearest vial dose is allowed), until the absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is > 1,000/mm3 for three consecutive days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute GvHD

    The cumulative incidence of grades III/IV acute GvHD at day +84 will be assessed. The first day of acute GvHD onset will be used to calculate a cumulative incidence curve by certain grade. An overall cumulative incidence curve will be computed along with a 90% CI with graft failure, relapse/progression, and death as competing risks.

    Measured: Day +84

  2. Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease

    The cumulative incidence of chronic GvHD at one year will be assessed. An overall cumulative incidence curve will be computed along with a 90% CI with graft failure, relapse/progression, and death as competing risks.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Nonrelapse Mortality (NRM)

    The cumulative incidence of NRM at 1 year will be assessed. An overall cumulative incidence curve will be computed along with a 90% CI with relapse/progression as competing risk.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Relapse of Malignancy

    The cumulative incidence of relapse at 1 year will be assessed. An overall cumulative incidence curve will be computed along with a 90% CI with NRM as competing risk.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Neutrophil Recovery

    Achievement of an ANC ≥ 500/mm3 for three consecutive measurements on different days. The first of the three days will be designated the day of neutrophil recovery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide and Mesna in people with Leukemia and MDS, run by Rafic Farah, MD 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 30 inclusion and 6 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 15 Oct 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Acute GvHD (time frame: Day +84). The study lists 4 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 15 Oct 2019.
