Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Multicenter Randomized Study Of Two Non-Myeloablative Stem Cell Transplant Strategies For Low-Grade Lymphoma And Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Sometimes the transplanted cells are rejected by the body's normal tissues. Cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, and tacrolimus may prevent this from happening.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of fludarabine plus total-body irradiation with that of combination chemotherapy followed by donor peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have relapsed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the 1-year overall survival rate of patients with relapsed low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia treated with fludarabine and total body irradiation vs cyclophosphamide and fludarabine followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and donor lymphocyte infusions.
  • Compare the toxic effects of these regimens in these patients.
  • Compare the incidence and severity of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the 1-year treatment-related mortality and infectious complications in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Compare the efficacy of these treatment regimens, in terms of 1-year disease-free survival, of these patients.
  • Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease, age (less than 55 vs over 55), and participating transplantation center. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive fludarabine IV on days -4 to -2. Patients undergo total body irradiation followed by allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) on day 0. Patients receive graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis comprising oral cyclosporine twice daily on days -2 to 90 followed by a taper on days 90-150 and oral mycophenolate mofetil twice daily on days 0-28.
  • Arm II: Patients receive fludarabine IV on days -6 to -2 and cyclophosphamide IV on days -3 to -2. Patients undergo PBSCT on day 0. Patients receive GVHD prophylaxis comprising methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11 and tacrolimus IV continuously and then orally on days -2 to 90 followed by a taper on days 90-150.

At approximately day 180, patients with persistent disease, evidence of T-cell chimerism, and no GVHD may receive up to 3 donor lymphocyte infusions administered every 1-2 months.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, 1 month, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for 1 year.

Patients are followed at 1 month, every 3 months for 1 year, and then annually for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients (50 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing therapeutic allogeneic lymphocytes, cyclophosphamide and cyclosporine in people with Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at 23 sites in 2 countries.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 sites in United States, Canada. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Poor accrual and difficulty with multicenter logistics). Results are not available in the source record.

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 10 Apr 2020.
