About this study

Official title: Precision Dosing of Alemtuzumab for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in Non-Malignant Diseases

The purpose of this study is to conduct a pilot trial of a Precision Dosing approach to alemtuzumab dosing for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation of patients with non-malignant diseases. The investigators will measure the ability to use a population PK model of alemtuzumab to target patient Day 0 alemtuzumab levels to 0.15-0.6ug/mL in a pilot study of 20 patients.

Read the detailed description

The hypothesis is that the model-informed dosing regimen will prospectively allow the precision dosing of alemtuzumab to target Day 0 levels to fall between 0.15-0.6ug/mL in greater than 80% of patients. The investigators have chosen a conservative pilot study approach, and the aim is to achieve Day 0 alemtuzumab levels between 0.15-0.6ug/mL in greater than 60% of 20 patients enrolled in this pilot study based on a Simon two-stage design as detailed below.

A Simon two-stage design (Simon, 1989) is being used. The null hypothesis that 30% of patients will achieve a Day 0 alemtuzumab level between 0.15-0.6ug/mL will be tested against a one-sided alternative that the alemtuzumab dose modification will result in 60% of patients achieving a Day 0 alemtuzumab level between 0.15-0.6ug/mL. In the first stage, 7 patients will be accrued. If there are 2 or fewer patients that achieve Day 0 alemtuzumab levels within the range of 0.15-0.6ug/mL, the study will be stopped. Otherwise, 13 additional patients will be accrued for a total of 20. The null hypothesis will be rejected if 11 or more patients achieve a Day 0 level of 0.15-0.6ug/mL within the total 20 patients. This design yields a type I error rate of 0.04 and power of 0.82 when the true response rate is 0.60. The investigators will enroll up to 30 patients in order allow for subject withdrawal, but will stop enrollment once 20 patients reach Day 0.

What participants receive

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

  • AlemtuzumabDrug

    Also called Campath

    Alemtuzumab (Campath®) is a recombinant DNA-derived humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CD52. Alemtuzumab is produced in mammalian cell (Chinese hamster ovary) suspension culture in a medium containing neomycin. Neomycin is not detectable in the final product. Alemtuzumab is a sterile, clear, colorless, isotonic pH 6.8-7.4 solution for injection. Alemtuzumab is supplied in single-use clear glass ampules containing 30 mg of Alemtuzumab in 3 mL of solution. Single use vial of alemtuzumab contains 30 mg alemtuzumab, 8 mg sodium chloride, 1.44 mg dibasic sodium phosphate, 0.2 mg potassium chloride, 0.2 mg monobasic potassium phosphate, 0.1 mg polysorbate 80, and 0.0187 mg disodium edetate dihydrate.

Study groups in NCT03302754
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
AlemtuzumabOtherPatients less than 15kg will be given 0.6mg/kg alemtuzumab divided over days -14, -13, and -12 (0.2mg/kg/dose). Patients greater than 15kg will be given a 3mg "test" dose on day -14 in order to limit the first dose to no more than 3 mg per the manufacturer's recommendation. This will be followed by 0.23mg/kg/dose on days -13 and -12 (to equal a total dose of approximately 0.5-0.6mg/kg). Alemtuzumab will be drawn into a sterile syringe and given to patients subcutaneously.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Alemtuzumab in people with Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 4 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.

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?

Percentage of patients who have alemtuzumab levels in the optimal therapeutic range on Day 0. (time frame: 100 Days). 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 4 Oct 2019.
