About this study

Official title: A Phase I Dose Escalation Study With Everolimus in Combination With Cyclosporine A and Prednisolone for the Treatment of Acute GVHD After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

The present protocol is a dose-finding and toxicity study in preparation of a randomised study comparing current standard treatment CSA/prednisolone with the new combination CSA/prednisolone/everolimus.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of the present study is to evaluate the feasibility of treatment with everolimus in combination with CSA/prednisolone in patients with aGVHD after allogeneic HSCT. This evaluation takes into account the following parameters:

  • Feasibility of oral application everolimus
  • Daily dose needed to reach the targeted plasma level everolimus
  • Time to reach the targeted plasma level of everolimusSecondary objectivesThe study will evaluate the toxicity and safety of the treatment with ever-olimus/CSA/prednisolone with regard to
  • Incidence and severity of treatment induced toxic events
  • Incidence, severity and seriousness of adverse events
  • Treatment induced morbidity
  • Treatment induced 1-year-mortality Furthermore the study will collect data about
  • Efficacy of everolimus/CSA/prednisolone on aGVHD
  • Drug interactions between everolimus and CSA

  1. Feasibility of oral application everolimus

  2. Daily dose needed to reach the targeted plasma level everolimus

  3. Time to reach the targeted plasma level of everolimus

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Incidence and severity of treatment induced toxic events

  2. Incidence, severity and seriousness of adverse events

  3. Treatment induced morbidity

  4. Treatment induced 1-year-mortality

  5. Efficacy of everolimus/CSA/prednisolone on aGVHD

  6. Drug interactions between everolimus and CSA

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Everolimus in people with Graft Versus Host Disease, run by University Hospital Tuebingen 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 5 inclusion and 10 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 29 May 2014. 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: high incidence of TTP, poor recrual). 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?

Feasibility of oral application everolimus. The study lists 3 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 29 May 2014.
