About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Enhancing Anti-Tetanus Vaccine Response After Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation

This pilot randomized Phase II trial (10 subjects per arm) will compare immune reconstitution following transplantation of an autologous mobilized graft product to reconstitution following transplantation of a mobilized graft product followed by an autologous lymphocyte infusion collected prior to G-CSF mobilization. All subjects will receive tetanus vaccines pre and post-transplant. The primary end point will be tetanus vaccine immune responses post-transplant.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To compare the cellular and humoral vaccine response post-transplant between the two arms by performing Elisa, and T-cell enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assays
  2. To determine the feasibility and safety of this approach

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To compare post-transplant recovery of innate and adaptive immune cells (CD8, CD4, CD19, NK, γδ T-cells), in addition to T-cell phenotype markers between the two arms.
  2. To compare post-transplant recovery of T-regs and MDSCs between the two arms.
  3. To compare progression free survival (PFS) at 2 years post-transplant
Being tested
Melphalan, Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation--CD34 HSCT, Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation--AHSCT, T Cell-Depleted Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Melphalan, Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation--CD34 HSCT and Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation--AHSCT in people with Plasma Cell Myeloma, run by University of Nebraska 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 14 inclusion and 10 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 12 Mar 2024. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Mar 2024). 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 Safely Treated Participants (Feasibility and Safety) (time frame: Through 180 days post-transplant). 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 12 Mar 2024.
