LeukemiaPhase 2NCT00004905
Combination Chemotherapy Plus Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia or Acute Leukemia
A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, recombinant interferon alfa and cyclophosphamide in people with Leukemia, run by Loyola University at 3 sites in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Pilot Study of Intensive Chemotherapy Followed by Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Harvesting for Autotransplantation of Adults With Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia and High Risk Acute Leukemia
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Clinical trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have chronic myelogenous leukemia or acute leukemia.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine safety and toxicity of induction and transplant regimens in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia or high-risk acute leukemia. II. Determine efficacy of collecting peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) during early hematopoietic recovery from intensive chemotherapy as a means for in vivo enrichment for cytogenetically normal progenitor cells in this patient population. III. Correlate cytogenetic and molecular responses in the peripheral blood and bone marrow with clinical response, time to progression, and survival in these patients at several timepoints before and after myelosuppressive and myeloablative therapy.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease (chronic myelogenous leukemia vs acute lymphoblastic leukemia vs acute myelogenous leukemia). Patients receive cytarabine IV over 4 hours, etoposide IV over 1.5-2 hours, and idarubicin IV over 5-10 minutes on days 1, 3, and 5. Filgrastim (G-CSF) is administered subcutaneously (SC) daily beginning on day 2 and continuing until blood counts recover. Chronic myelogenous leukemia: On day 14 following chemotherapy, if bone marrow biopsy shows less than 20% cellularity and a peripheral blood sample contains greater than 50% cytogenetically normal cells, patients receive a second induction course followed by apheresis. Patients with less than 50% cytogenetically normal cells are also considered for a second induction course. Patients with no response or progressive disease are removed from the study. Acute leukemia: On day 14 following chemotherapy, if bone marrow biopsy shows less than 20% cellularity and the peripheral blood sample shows 100% cytogenetically normal cells, patients receive a second induction course followed by apheresis. Patients with high risk disease in first remission at time of study entry undergo apheresis during recovery from first course of induction therapy and second course may be omitted. Patients receive second induction course followed by G-CSF as after first induction course. Once blood counts recover, patients undergo harvest of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). Patients also undergo bone marrow stem cell collection in case of failure of PBSC transplantation (PBSCT). Patients receive the following conditioning regimen: total body irradiation twice a day on days -8 to -5; etoposide IV over 4 hours on day -4; and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on day -2. PBSCT is conducted on day 0. G-CSF SC is administered beginning on day 1 and continues until blood counts recover. Patients receive maintenance therapy with interferon alfa SC 3 times a week for 12 months. Patients are followed weekly for 3 months and then monthly until death.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 15 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, recombinant interferon alfa and cyclophosphamide in people with Leukemia, run by Loyola University at 3 sites 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 30 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites 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 30 May 2013.
