About this study

Official title: Donor Mesenchymal Stem Cell Infusion for Treatment of Graft Versus Host Disease: A Phase I Trial

RATIONALE: Donor mesenchymal stem cell infusion may be an effective treatment for acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease caused by a donor stem cell transplant.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of donor mesenchymal stem cells in treating patients with acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease after undergoing a donor stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the safety of donor mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) infusion in patients with acute or extensive chronic graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) after undergoing HLA-identical sibling donor stem cell transplant.

Secondary

  • Describe the rates of complete and partial resolution of GVHD when MSCs are used in addition to the standard GVHD therapy.
  • Determine inflammatory cytokine levels, lymphocyte subsets, and donor-reactive lymphocyte numbers in blood of patients with acute GVHD prior to therapy and at 7 and 14 days post-MSC therapy.
  • Determine if donor MSCs engraft in tissues inflamed by GVHD in patients who have undergone gender-mismatched transplantation.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of donor mesenchymal stem cells (MSC).

Within 72 hours after the initiation of medical therapy (e.g., corticosteroids, cyclosporine) for graft-vs-host disease, patients undergo donor MSC infusion over 10-15 minutes.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of donor MSCs until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Blood samples are obtained periodically and examined by immunoenzyme techniques for mixed lymphocyte reaction (as a surrogate marker for alloreactivity) and cytokine levels (TH1 [i.e., interleukin (IL)-2 and interferon-gamma], TH2 [i.e., IL-10 and IL-4], and inflammatory cytokines [i.e., tumor necrosis factor-alpha and IL-1]). Tissue specimens are examined by CD45 immunohistochemistry and fluorescent in situ hybridization to detect hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 24 patients will be accrued for this study.

    Patients will be evaluated for clinical signs and symptoms of GVHD weekly for up to 28 days.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety

    Measured: Monitored for 6 hours for infusion related toxicity. Temperature, blood pressure, pulse and O2 saturation will be measured at baseline and every 10 minutes x 2, every 30 minutes x 2, and every hour x 3.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Complete and partial resolution of graft-vs-host disease (GVHD)

    Measured: Patients will be evaluated for clinical signs and symptoms of GVHD weekly for up to 28 days.

  2. Cytokine levels, lymphocyte subsets, and donor-reactive lymphocyte numbers in patients with acute GVHD

    Measured: Pre-transplant, at diagnosis, 7 and 14 days after MSC infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing graft versus host disease prophylaxis/therapy, fluorescence in situ hybridization and immunoenzyme technique in people with Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 8 sites 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 5 Nov 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites 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?

Safety (time frame: Monitored for 6 hours for infusion related toxicity. Temperature, blood pressure, pulse and O2 saturation will be measured at baseline and every 10 minutes x 2, every 30 minutes x 2, and every hour x 3.). 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 5 Nov 2010.
