Photochemotherapy and Graft-versus-leukemia in Acute-leukemia
An observational study of ALL and AML, run by Karolinska University Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.
Trial summary
Cure of leukemia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is sustained by the anti-leukemic effect of the grafted cells (graft-versus-leukemia (GVL)). However, it is not known whether the tumor-immunity is affected by photochemotherapy (psoralene photosensitization and ultraviolet light radiation)… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Photochemotherapy of Acute Graft-versus-host Disease (aGVHD) of the Skin - is Graft-versus-leukemia Preserved in Patients Transplanted for Acute Leukemia?
Cure of leukemia after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is sustained by the anti-leukemic effect of the grafted cells (graft-versus-leukemia (GVL)). However, it is not known whether the tumor-immunity is affected by photochemotherapy (psoralene photosensitization and ultraviolet light radiation) administered to attenuate graft-versus host disease (GVHD).
The present study aim to investigate what happens to the GVL after photochemotherapy of aGVHD in a predominantly retrospective setting with 10-years follow-up after HSCT
Read the detailed description
This is a 10-year follow-up of patients with Acute-myeloid-leukemia (AML) or acute-lymphatic-leukemia (ALL). AML is diagnosed by the French-American-British criteria (FAB-criteria) and ALL is separated into chief forms by immunohistological methods. All patients underwent myeloablative Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) between 1985 and 2005 at the center for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (CAST) at Karolinska University Hospital. All patient receive GVHD-prophylaxis.
The risk for relapse after HSCT is graded into low-risk if the disease is in first complete remission before HSCT, all other disease states are classified as high-risk.
Eligible patients received photochemotherapy (Ultraviolet radiation type A on skin photosensitized by oral 8-methoxypsoralen) for acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD within 100-days after HSCT). Photochemotherapy may be given as primary or later aGVHD therapy. Patients with aGVHD after booster doses of stem-cells or donor-lymphocyte-infusions are not included.
Additional treatment are registered where present. Methotrexate is not considered as an additional GVHD treatment as intravenous methotrexate a part of the governing GVHD prophylaxis and as the effects of methotrexate as a secondary aGVHD treatment is weak.
At the start, the end, at maximum and up until two weeks after end of PUVA-therapy the GVHD is diagnosed in accordance with Glucksberg and indexed by CIBMTR.
Relapse is diagnosed when leukemic cells is present extra medullary or with a bone marrow biopsy with ≥ 30% blasts. Early relapse is diagnosed when the medulla contain 5 - 30% blasts
The primary outcome is GVL i.e. abscence of relapse in malignant disease or minimal residual disease (MRD) i.e. threatening relapse in malignant disease demanding donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI).
Primary predictor: Time-to-treatment by photochemotherapy at day 0 - 7 vs. start at day 8 ≤ of aGVHD.
Continuous secondary predictor: Time-to-treatment by photochemotherapy as a continuous variable (days after start of aGVHD).
Binary secondary predictors: Risk (Low/High), Sibling donor-recipient (Yes/No), Mismatched related (Yes/No), Unrelated donor (Yes/No), (Male recipients of female grafts (Yes/No), T-cell depletion or Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (Yes/No).
Categorical secondary predictors: AGVHD organ disease stage and disease grade; Skin (+, ++, +++, ++++), Liver (+, ++, +++, ++++), Gastro-intestinal (+, ++, +++, ++++), Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research CIBMTR index (A, B, C, D) respectively.
Statistical analysis:
Cox proportional Hazards ratio is used to conduct a univariate data analysis of all adequate variables in patient characteristics and disease towards the primary outcome. In the analysis, death, DLI or retransplantation due to graft-failure was treated as a competing event. The primary predictor (binary) and all binary or categorical covariates identified from the patient and disease characteristics are to be included in a multivariate forward regression analysis, controlled for with backward regression based on the log-likelihood method. P=0.05 is considered as significant and p=0.10 as a trend. StatSoft, Inc. (2013). STATISTICA (data analysis software system), version 12. www.statsoft.com. are used for statistical computation.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
PhotochemotherapyRadiation
Also called Psoralen and Ultraviolet light Type A (PUVA)
Oral 8-Methoxypsoralene (8-MOP), (0.4-0.8 mg/kg), are given 1.5-2 hours before phototherapy. Ultraviolet light type A (UVA, 320-400 nm) is administered in a Waldmann UV1000 supine unit through 26 100-W fluorescent PUVA lamps (Waldmann F85), if needed, UVA is given in a half body unit with 15 100-W PUVA-lamps (Waldmann F85), (Waldmann UV3003K), (Waldmann, Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany). Eye protection is applied during 24 h after oral 8-MOP and the genital area are shielded in males during therapy.The UVA is initiated at 0.2-1.5 J/cm2 and is amplified by 0.25-0.5 J/cm2 after two treatments if photo toxicity is absent. PUVA is given to the patients 3-5 times each week.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of ALL and AML, run by Karolinska University Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.
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 1 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 16 Dec 2015. 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 Sweden. 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?
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?
Graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) (time frame: 10-years after HSCT (2005 - 2015)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02631993, which also lists 12 linked publications.
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 16 Dec 2015.
