About this study
Official title: A Phase II Trial of Tandem Transplantation in AL Amyloidosis
RATIONALE: Autologous stem cell transplantation may be effective treatment for primary systemic (AL) amyloidosis.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well tandem (two) autologous stem cell transplantation works in treating patients with primary systemic (AL) amyloidosis.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the tolerability of tandem autologous stem cell transplantation in patients with AL amyloidosis.
- Determine whether this regimen can convert a hematologic non-complete response (CR) to CR in these patients.
- Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE:
- First transplantation: Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously once daily beginning 3 days before the initiation of stem cell collection and continuing until the day before the completion of stem cell collection. Patients may undergo bone marrow harvest if an inadequate number of peripheral blood stem cells are collected.
Patients receive high-dose melphalan IV over 20 minutes on days -3 and -2. Patients undergo autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) on day 0.
- Second transplantation: Within 6-12 months after the first ASCT, patients not achieving a complete response receive high-dose melphalan IV over 20 minutes on days -3 and -2 and a second ASCT on day 0.
Treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed at 3 and 6 months, 1 year, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 62 patients will be accrued for this study within 2-3 years.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, melphalan and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Boston Medical 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?
The sponsor lists 42 inclusion and 8 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 17 Sep 2020. 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.
What does the primary outcome measure?
safety (time frame: 100 days, 6 months, and annual). 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 17 Sep 2020.
