Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to test a method of bone marrow transplantation that results in only temporary donor immune function. In other words, the donor immune cells are given in a way that will allow them to attack leukemia briefly before being destroyed by their own immune system, or "rejected."

About this study

The purpose of this study is to test a method of bone marrow transplantation that results in only temporary donor immune function. In other words, the donor immune cells are given in a way that will allow them to attack leukemia briefly before being destroyed by their own immune system, or "rejected." The investigators want to test whether temporary donor immune function is enough to improve the odds of achieving a remission without exposing the patient to the toxicities of a full bone marrow transplant. To do this, the investigators will use standard chemotherapy for AML followed by an infusion of donor stem cells. The donor will be a family member who is haploidentically, or half matched, to the patient such as a child or sibling. Chemotherapy designed to treat AML should not be strong enough to prevent them from rejecting the donor stem cells. The investigators will then follow the patient to see how long the donor stem cells stay in them. The study will test whether this process is feasible and can result in improved chances of obtaining a remission.

What participants receive

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

  • Induction ChemotherapyDrug

    Patients with newly diagnosed AML will receive standard induction chemotherapy with daunorubicin and cytarabine (7+3 scheme). Patients who achieve CR may undergo consolidation chemotherapy at the discretion of the treating leukemia physician.

  • G-PBSC InfusionProcedure or surgery

    G-CSF-mobilized peripheral blood cells will be collected from the donors in the Donor Room according to standard MSKCC BMT guidelines. Patients will be infused by infusion of unmanipulated G-PBSC from a haploidentical related donor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete Remission (CR)

    Peripheral Blood Counts: The peripheral blood neutrophil count should be ≥1,500/μl (sustained without growth factor support), and the platelets count should be ≥100,000/μl (without transfusion). No circulating blasts (in the absence of growth factor) should be detected.

    Bone Marrow Aspirate: The cellularity of the bone marrow should approximate normal. There must be evidence of maturation of all cell lines. The bone marrow aspirate should contain < 5% blasts. Auer rods should not be detected.

    Extramedullary Leukemia: Extramedullary leukemia, such as CNS or soft tissue involvement, must not be present.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Induction Chemotherapy and G-PBSC Infusion in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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 19 inclusion and 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Apr 2018. 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 6 Apr 2018). 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?

Complete Remission (CR) (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 6 Apr 2018.
