About this study

Official title: Total Body Irradiation With Fludarabine Conditioning Followed by Transplantation With Combined Umbilical Cord Blood Grafts

Results to date of umbilical cord blood transplantation in adult and fully mature adolescent patients are inferior to what is seen in children, due to a lower stem cell dosage in adults and a more toxic conditioning regimen. This phase 1 protocol will use a potentially less toxic bone marrow conditioning regimen, followed by infusion of a combined umbilical cord blood graft that will provide the patient with a higher stem cell dose than can be given with a single umbilical cord blood infusion. The subjects will be conditioned with a total body irradiation (TBI) 13.5 Gy and fludarabine. Following conditioning, up to two unrelated, partially matched umbilical cord blood grafts will be infused that will provide a minimum nucleated cell dose of 3 x 10e7/kg . The primary objective of this study is to measure the frequency of treatment-related toxicity and engraftment.

Read the detailed description

Results to date of umbilical cord blood transplantation in adult and fully mature adolescent patients are inferior to what is seen in children. There are two reasons for this. First is that the stem cell dose, measured in nucleated cells/kg body weight, is considerably lower due to the size of the recipient. This results in a higher incidence of graft failure, delayed engraftment, and impaired immune reconstitution. Multiple studies have suggested that a nucleated cell dose below 1.5 to 2 x 107/kg results in an unacceptably high risk for graft failure. Only a minority of adult patients will have a suitably matched umbilical cord blood unit that contains more than 1.5 x 107 nucleated cells/kg. The second reason for inferior outcome of umbilical cord blood transplantation in adult patients is that in comparison to children, the conventional myeloablative bone marrow conditioning regimens are more toxic. This phase 1 protocol will use a potentially less toxic bone marrow conditioning regimen, followed by infusion of a combined umbilical cord blood graft that will provide the patient with a higher stem cell dose than can be given with a single umbilical cord blood infusion. The subjects will be conditioned with a TBI 13.5 Gy and fludarabine. Fludarabine pharmacokinetics will be measured and correlated with the kinetics of donor cell engraftment as well frequency of treatment-related toxicity. Following conditioning, up to two unrelated, partially matched umbilical cord blood grafts will be infused that will provide a minimum nucleated cell dose of 3 x 10e7/kg. The primary objective of this study is to measure the frequency of treatment-related toxicity and engraftment.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Total Body Irradiation with Fludarabine in UCB TransplantsProcedure or surgery

    Administration of the preparative regimen, infusion of the stem cell graft, inpatient care during the immediate post-transplant period and outpatient follow-up for the first 3 months after transplant and at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months. Patients will have human leukocyte antigen (HLA) serologic typing and DNA typing. Bags of UCB are thawed, and diluted by 1:1 volume using a 5% albumin/dextran solution. The thawed and diluted umbilical cord blood unit (UCBU) is next weighed and centrifuged. Specimens are obtained for cell count and viability, culture, clonogenic assays, and phenotype. The UCB is infused at a rate of 1-3 ml/min. Furosemide (0.5-1.0 mg/kg/dose) may be given if volume overload or decreased urine output occurs. Each UCB infusion shall be tested for sterility, CFU content, number of CD34+ cells, cell count and viability.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary objective will be to measure the time to and rate of hematologic engraftment following transplant and the frequency of treatment-related mortality.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The secondary objective will be to estimate the proportion of patients developing acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease, 100 day treatment-related mortality, and to measure disease-free survival.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. The tertiary objective will be to measure the time to immunologic reconstitution as defined by normal numbers of T and B cells, normal T-cell proliferative responses, normal natural killer (NK) cell function, and normal immunoglobulin synthesis.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Total Body Irradiation with Fludarabine in UCB Transplants in people with Lymphoma and Myeloma, run by Duke University 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?

The sponsor lists 25 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 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 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?

The primary objective will be to measure the time to and rate of hematologic engraftment following transplant and the frequency of treatment-related mortality. (time frame: 3 years). 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 16 May 2014.
