About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of High-Dose Immunosuppression Followed by Infusion of CD34-Selected Autologous or Syngeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cells for Treatment of Refractory Autoimmune Disorders

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety and long term complications of total body irradiation in combination with cyclophosphamide, anti-thymocyte globulin, and autologous CD34-selected peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation in children with refractory autoimmune disorders.

II. Determine the efficacy of this treatment regimen in these patients. III. Determine the reconstitution of immunity after autologous CD34-selected PBSC transplantation in these patients.

IV. Determine engraftment of autologous CD34-selected PBSC in these patients.

Read the detailed description

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily until peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection is completed. CD34+ cells are separated from the rest of the PBSCs.

Patients undergo total body irradiation twice daily on days -5 and -4. Patients receive anti-thymocyte globulin IV on days -5, -3, -1, 1, 3, and 5 and cyclophosphamide IV on days -3 and -2. CD34-selected PBSCs are reinfused on day 0. Patients receive G-CSF IV daily beginning on day 0 and continuing until blood counts recover.

Patients are followed annually for 5 years and then every 5 years thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Stem Cell Transplantation and CD34 selection in people with Systemic Sclerosis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center 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 6 Mar 2015. 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 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.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mortality (time frame: Annually for 5 years and then every 5 years thereafter). 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 6 Mar 2015.
