About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Parathyroid Hormone Following Myeloablative Sequential Unrelated Cord Blood Transplantation

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of parathyroid hormone after a sequential cord blood transplant will improve engraftment, which is the ability of the transplanted stem cells to grow and to successfully begin producing new blood cells.

Read the detailed description

In this phase II, single stage study, participants will include 40 adults who are candidates for a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. All participants will undergo a sequential cord blood transplant using a well-known myeloablative regimen of fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation, which is appropriate for those individuals who are likely to benefit from an ablative regimen. Tacrolimus will be combined with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for the graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) will be added to this regimen in an attempt to improve engraftment. PTH is an approved drug with minimal side effects in individuals with osteoporosis; the dose of PTH has been determined from a phase I study in individuals with hematologic cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Parathyroid Hormone (teriparatide) in people with Leukemia, Myeloid, Chronic and Anemia, Aplastic, run by The Emmes Company, LLC at 4 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?

The sponsor lists 15 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Dec 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Median Time to Neutrophil Engraftment (Defined as an Absolute Neutrophil Count [ANC] Greater Than 500) (time frame: Statistic is calculated at Day 42 but ANC counts are measured daily up through discharge.). 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 NCT00393380, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Apr 2013.
