Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing stem cell mobilization in association with chemotherapy, prior to autologous stem cell transplantation.
  • Prior Treatment:No parenteral cytotoxic chemotherapy within 2 weeks prior to initiation of chemo-mobilization therapy.
  • Performance Status: Karnofsky > 70%
  • Age >18
  • Life Expectancy > 4 months
  • Bone Marrow: bone marrow biopsy and aspirate
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Blood counts: The patient must have adequate bone marrow function, i.e. a total WBC of > 2,000/ul, a Hgb of > 7 g/dl, and a platelet count of > 50,000/ul, unless this abnormality is believed to be due to the underlying disease.
  • Pulmonary function tests: DLCO > 55% predicted.
  • Cardiac: Left ventricular ejection fraction of > 40% by radionuclide scan or echocardiography.
  • Liver function tests (bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and SGOT/SGPT) < 3 x normal (unless believed to be elevated due to disease).
  • Renal function (24 hour urine for creatinine clearance, if clinically indicated): The patient must have adequate renal function (creatinine clearance >50 ml/min), except when renal insufficiency is felt related to the underlying malignancy.
  • No significant co-morbid medical or psychiatric illness that would significantly compromise the patient's clinical care and chances of survival in the transplant setting.
  • No significant established splenomegaly (i.e. spleen size > 20 cm)
  • Informed written consent must be obtained. Patients must be able to give informed consent as a prerequisite to this procedure. The Informed Consent form will become part of his/her permanent record and a copy will be given to the patient.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with greater than three pre-transplant chemotherapy regimens and/or poor stem cell reserve as demonstrated by significant marrow hypocellularity (<20%) will not be mobilized on the first phase regimen
  • Medical, social, or psychological factors that would prevent the patient from receiving or cooperating with the full course of therapy.
  • Evidence on physical exam, LP, CT, or MRI scan of CNS involvement with malignancy.
  • Uncontrolled or severe cardiovascular disease, including recent (< 6 months) myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, angina (symptomatic despite optimal medical management), life-threatening dysrhythmia, or clinically significant obstructive/restrictive pulmonary disease.
  • Serology positive for HIV.
  • Positive pregnancy test or presence of lactation.

  • Uncontrolled active infection.
  • Documented hypersensitivity to any of the drugs used in the protocol.
  • No concomitant,ongoing malignancy that is life-threatening, based on PI's evaluation.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Feasibility and Cost Analysis of Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Mobilization Using Pegfilgrastim in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of Pegfilgrastim in the mobilization of autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs), defined as cell yield ≥ 3 x 10e6 CD34+/kg and to assess the costs related to Pegfilgrastim use in the mobilization of autologous PBSCs. Also to determine the side effects of Pegfilgrastim in the mobilization of autologous peripheral blood stem cells.

What participants receive

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

  • PegfilgrastimDrug

    Also called Neulasta

    Pegfilgrastim: Sub Cutaneous, 6 mg on Day 3 of chemotherapy regimen or as otherwise indicated by chemotherapy regimen (ie., 24 hours after completion of chemotherapy).

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of Pegfilgrastim in the Mobilization of Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cells (PBSCs), Defined as Cell Yield ≥ 3 x 10e6 CD34+/kg

    Outcome was not reported. The study was terminated for lack of enrollment. Data collection was terminated. No data analysis was performed.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assess the Per-patient Costs Related to Pegfilgrastim Use in the Mobilization of Autologous PBSCs in 16 Study Participants.

    Costs will be divided into three categories: 1. Pre-pheresis preparation (cost of Pegfilgrastim, laboratory testing, drug administration, providers, line placement); 2. Pheresis procedure (costs related to # collections and total hours on apheresis machine, microbiological testing, provider, CD34 analysis and related labs, cryopreservation/storage and complications); 3. Post-pheresis processing (cost of stem cell thawing, microbiological testing, CD34 analysis and related labs, providers, administration).

    Measured: At each stage of pheresis for each enrolled subject for a maximum of 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pegfilgrastim in people with Hematologic Malignancies, run by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center 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 14 inclusion and 9 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 20 Apr 2018. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Aug 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?

Efficacy of Pegfilgrastim in the Mobilization of Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cells (PBSCs), Defined as Cell Yield ≥ 3 x 10e6 CD34+/kg (time frame: 2 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 20 Apr 2018.
