About this study
Official title: Randomized Study of Atorvastatin Prophylaxis as a Supplement to Standard of Care Prophylaxis to Prevent Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation From Matched Unrelated Donors
Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) is one of the most challenging complications in long term survivors of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. As the number of allogeneic stem cell transplantations rises annually, the incidence of chronic GVHD rates have also increased due to a variety of factors including but not limited to increasing use of peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) grafts, increasing age of both donors and recipients, and increased use of matched unrelated donors. One study showed much lower than traditional acute GHVD rate and chronic GHVD which is similar with historical rates when atorvastatin was administered prophylactically to both the donors as well as recipients of matched related allogeneic stem cell transplantation, lead to the interest in further examining the role of Atorvastatin in relation to the development of GVHD. The investigator hypothesize that the administration of atorvastatin in recipients of matched unrelated allogeneic stem cell transplantation, a group with known higher incidence of chronic GHVD, would be a safe and effective method to reduce the incidence of chronic GVHD. Matched related allogeneic stem cell transplantation recipients will not be included in this study due to their significantly lower GVHD rates. The definition and monitoring of our primary endpoint of GVHD is well established in clinical trials in allogeneic stem cell transplantations and the investiagor will utilize the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Staging System for the diagnosis and severity assessment of chronic GVHD as well the recommendations from the NIH Consensus Conference for the conduct of clinical trials in chronic GVHD.
Several secondary endpoints will be examined as defined below and include standard complementary data in the examination of clinical trials in chronic GVHD again as laid out by the NIH Consensus Conference for conduct of clinical trials in chronic GHVD.
Read the detailed description
This is a randomized, open label phase III trial in patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Myelodysplastic Syndrome undergoing matched unrelated donor transplant.
Patients randomized to the treatment arm (atorvastatin):
The prophylaxis atorvastatin treatment (taken by mouth) for GVHD will start at 14 days prior to transplant and continue until 365 days post-transplant or until development of significant adverse events or desire of the primary treating physician to stop the administration.
The patients will also receive our institution's standard graft versus host disease prophylactic regimen which consists of two drugs. It has been shown that immunosuppression with two drugs is better than a single agent thus our institution utilizes a combination of Methotrexate and Tacrolimus. For all matched unrelated donor allogeneic transplantation patients, the following schedule of Methotrexate will be administered intravenously (IV) post-transplant on Days 1, 3 and 6. Tacrolimus will be administered 2 days prior to transplant and continue approximately 180 days post-transplant. Tacrolimus will be administered IV until patient can take it by mouth.
Patients randomized to standard of care:

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Atorvastatin, Methotrexate and Tacrolimus in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, run by Loyola University 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 6 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Apr 2021. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
The primary objective is to determine the cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD at one year after stem cell transplantation and treatment with atorvastatin (time frame: 2 years). 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 27 Apr 2021.
