About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Evaluating Busulfan and Fludarabine as Preparative Therapy in Adults With Hematopoietic Disorders Undergoing Matched Unrelated Donor Stem Cell Transplantation

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as busulfan and fludarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy with a peripheral stem cell or bone marrow transplant may allow more chemotherapy to be given so that more cancer cells are killed. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Tacrolimus and methotrexate may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving busulfan together with fludarabine before donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hematologic cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the safety, in terms of treatment-related mortality at 100 days post-transplantation, of a myeloablative preparative regimen comprising busulfan and fludarabine and graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis comprising tacrolimus and methotrexate in patients with hematopoietic disorders undergoing matched unrelated donor stem cell transplantation.
  • Determine the efficacy, in terms of overall survival at 1-year post-transplantation, in patients treated with this regimen.

Secondary

  • Determine organ toxicity in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine neutrophil and platelet recovery in patients treated with this regimen.
  • Determine the incidence and severity of acute and chronic GVHD in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE:

  • Myeloablative preparative regimen: Patients receive busulfan IV over 2 hours every 6 hours on days -7 to -4 and fludarabine IV over 30 minutes on days -7 to -3.
  • Allogeneic stem cell transplantation: Patients undergo allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell or bone marrow transplantation on day 0. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily beginning on day 7 and continuing until blood counts recover.
  • Graft-vs-host disease prophylaxis: Patients receive tacrolimus IV continuously beginning on day -2 and continuing until discharged from the hospital (may convert to oral dosing administered twice daily when tolerated) and methotrexate IV over 15-30 minutes on days 1, 3, 6, and 11.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 36 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, busulfan and fludarabine phosphate in people with Anemia and Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders, run by University of California, San Francisco 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2012. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 in the first 100 days post-transplant. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Oct 2012.
