About this study

Official title: Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation for Patients With Acute Myelogenous Leukemia or Myelodysplastic Syndrome - A Phase II Pilot Study

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing and die. Bone marrow transplantation may be able to replace cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of chemotherapy plus bone marrow transplantation and filgrastim in treating patients who have acute myelogenous leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the overall survival and disease free survival of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome treated with busulfan and etoposide followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation and filgrastim (G-CSF).
  • Assess the toxicities of this regimen in this patient population.
  • Assess the hematologic effects and toxicities of G-CSF given in this setting to these patients.
  • Determine whether G-CSF stimulates leukemic relapse in these patients.
  • Determine whether G-CSF has an affect on platelet recovery in this setting in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to first, second, or third remission. Patients undergo bone marrow collection.

Patients receive oral busulfan every 6 hours for 16 doses on days -5, -4, -3, and -2. Patients receive etoposide IV over 4 hours on days -4, -3, and -2. Bone marrow is reinfused 36-48 hours after the last dose of etoposide. Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) IV daily beginning 2-4 hours after bone marrow reinfusion until hematopoietic recovery.

Patients are followed monthly for 1 year, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, busulfan and etoposide in people with Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndromes, run by Northwestern 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?

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 12 Jun 2012. 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?

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.

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 Jun 2012.
