About this study

Official title: Allogenic Stem Cell Transplantation for Children, Adolescents and Young Adults With Relapsed or Refractory AML; Multi Center Therapy Concept

  1. To evaluate whether stem cell transplantation from a matched sibling donor is equivalent to a matched unrelated donor in in a second complete remission of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
  2. To evaluate whether stem cell transplantation (SCT) after chemotherapy (FLAMSA-schema) increases survival compared to a threshold derived from historical data
  3. To evaluate whether SCT from haploidentical donors for children having no matched donor will result in better survival with acceptable toxicity.

What participants receive

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

  • Hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow or peripheral bloodBiological

    > = 2 x 10*8 nucleated cells (WBC)/kg body weight of the recipient or rather > = 4 x 10*6 nucleated CD34+ cells / kg body weight are required for engraftment. Suspension of stem cells is administered via intravenous infusion.

Study groups in NCT00606723
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1ExperimentalGroup I: Relapsed AML-patients with blast cell reduction to <20% before the second course of induction therapy. These patients will receive conventional SCT. Group II: Patients with non response to frontline treatment of AML, patients with blast cells <20% before the second course of induction therapy who do not achieve a second remission and relapsed AML-patients with blast cells >=20% before the second course of induction therapy. If these patients have a matched donor (MSD/MD) they will receive SCT with "FLAMSA". Group III: Patients who are eligible for Group II but have no matched donor. These patients will receive SCT from a haploidentical donor.
Receives: Biological: Hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow or peripheral blood

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate whether stem cell transplantation (SCT) from a matched sibling donor (MSD) is equivalent to a matched unrelated donor (MUD) in second complete remission (CR2).

    Measured: day 100

  2. To evaluate whether "FLAMSA" increases leukemia free survival (LFS) and overall survival (OS) as compared to a historic control group

    Measured: day 100

  3. To evaluate whether SCT from haploidentical donors for children having no matched donor will result in an acceptable toxicity profile and a better LFS as compared to historic controls.

    Measured: day 100

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Prospective evaluation of event free survival (EFS), LFS, and OS after SCT from either a MSD or a MUD

    Measured: day 100

  2. To evaluate whether it is feasible to standardize transplantation procedures in children with AML within the AML-Berlin/Frankfurt/Münster (BFM) study network

    Measured: day 100

  3. Decrease of transplantation associated mortality by standardized donor selection criteria

    Measured: day 100

  4. To further evaluate the contribution of immunomediated effects for the treatment of children suffering from very high risk AML

    Measured: day 100

  5. Prospective evaluation of late toxicities

    Measured: day 100 and year 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Hematopoietic stem cells from bone marrow or peripheral blood in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), run by Hannover Medical School at 24 sites in 3 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 22 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in Germany, Austria, Czechia. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

To evaluate whether stem cell transplantation (SCT) from a matched sibling donor (MSD) is equivalent to a matched unrelated donor (MUD) in second complete remission (CR2). (time frame: day 100). 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 22 Mar 2021.
