About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase III Comparison of 12 Gy TBI and Cyclophosphamide 120 mg/kg With Fludarabine 120 mg/Sqm and 8 Gy TBI Before Allogeneic Transplantation in Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia in First Remission

The primary goal of the study is to show that the treatment-related mortality of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation an be significantly reduced by using a combination of 8 Gy total-body-irradiation and fludarabine in comparison to the conventional combination of 12 Gy TBI and 120 mg/kg Cyclophosphamide.

Read the detailed description

Transplant-related deaths because of extramedullary toxicity and graft-versus host disease remain the major causes for treatment-failure in patients with AMl receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

In phase II study, M . Stelljes and coworkers could show, that a reduced dose of total-body- irradiation and fludarabine can be safely used in patients with AML at various disease stages. The best results could be achieved in patients who had been in complete remission by the time of inclusion.

Therefore this prospective trial was initiated to compare the new conditioning regimen with the standard regimen of 12 Gy TBI/Cyclophosphamide 120 mg/kg in patients ith AML in first remission.

After having achieved complete remission, and giving informed consent, patients are stratified according to marrow cytogenetics, age and type of induction therapy and subsequently randomized to receive on of the mentioned conditioning therapies.

The primary end-point will be non-relapse mortality. The hypothesis would be, that the one-year mortality can be reduced from 25 to 15%. Given a power of 0.8 and a first-error of 5%, 252 patients will have to be randomized.

Secondary endpoints include:

3 year overall-and disease-free survival Rate of grade II-IV acute GvHD Rate of grade 3-4 extramedullary toxicity

    Percentage of patients with grade II-IV acute GvHD

    Measured: 100 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Conditioning therapy in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus at 1 site in Germany.

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 7 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jun 2013. 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 Germany. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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: Insurance coverage reached). 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Treatment-related mortality at 12 months after transplantation (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00150878, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 20 Jun 2013.
