About this study

Official title: PEDS024, Phase I/II Feasibility Study of Busulfan Fludarabine and Thiotepa Conditioning Regimen for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation (HSCT) for Children With Non-Malignant Disorders

In this study, the investigators test 2 dose levels of thiotepa (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) added to the backbone of targeted reduced dose IV busulfan, fludarabine and rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) to determine the minimum effective dose required for reliable engraftment for subjects undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for non-malignant disease.

Read the detailed description

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative choice for a number of inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, hemoglobinopathies, metabolic disorders and primary immune deficiencies. While survival of these patients is typically better than survival of patients with malignancies, toxicities of conditioning regimens and failure of engraftment remain challenges. Most children with non-malignant disorders present with normocellular or even hypercellular bone marrow, posing a barrier to engraftment and requiring intensive conditioning. Commonly used backbone of busulfan and fludarabine, although well tolerated, results in variable engraftment, in particular with mismatched unrelated donors and cord blood recipients. In this study, the investigators test 2 dose levels of thiotepa (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) added to the backbone of targeted reduced dose IV busulfan, fludarabine and rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) in order to determine the minimum effective dose required for reliable engraftment. Subjects are stratified in groups A and B based the risk of graft failure.

Model description
The study builds in rules for escalation of thiotepa dose based on graft failure by day 42. Patients are stratified in two groups A (lower risk of graft failure) and B (higher risk of graft failure). Patients undergoing 10/10 HLA matched bone marrow and peripheral blood transplants are assigned to Group A, and patients receiving \<10/10 matched bone marrow or peripheral blood, or receiving cord blood, even if fully matched, are assigned to Group B. If criteria for thiotepa dose escalation are met first in Group A, which has a lower risk of graft failure, thiotepa dose will be escalated for all subjects (Groups A and B). If criteria for thiotepa dose escalation are met first in Group B, dose will be escalated only in Group B and Group A will continue enrolling patients at a lower dose level.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Thiotepa--single daily dose and Thiotepa--escalated dose in people with Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome and Thalassemia, run by University of Florida 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 22 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Sep 2023. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 15 Sep 2023). 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?

Assessment of Minimum Effective Dose (MED) of Thiotepa (time frame: Day 42). 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 15 Sep 2023.
