Trial summary

The goal of this research study is to determine if it is feasible to collect leukemia cells from patients ahead of time (before they undergo further treatments) so that these cells (after being radiated so they will no longer grow or divide) can be given back to them as a cancer vaccine if/after the participant… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Collection and Banking of Leukemia Cells for Vaccine Generation and Research in Patients With Advanced MDS or AML

The goal of this research study is to determine if it is feasible to collect leukemia cells from patients ahead of time (before they undergo further treatments) so that these cells (after being radiated so they will no longer grow or divide) can be given back to them as a cancer vaccine if/after the participant receives a bone marrow or blood stem cell transplant in the future. The purpose of the research study will be to collect, freeze and store leukemia calls from participants blood or bone marrow. This study is a companion study to a vaccine study.

Read the detailed description
  • Leukemia cells will be collected by one or more of the following methods: 1)Routine blood draw 2)Bone marrow aspirate 3) Leukapheresis. The physician and study staff will determine which of the methods above is best suited for each participant.
  • After collection, the leukemia cells will be transported to the Cell Manipulation Core Facility (CMCF) at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where they will be frozen until the time of vaccine administration.

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 6 inclusion and 0 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 7 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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 determine the feasibility of banking leukemic blood or marrow samples from patients with advanced MDS or AML such that these cells could be used for tumor cell vaccination at a later date. (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 7 Feb 2013.
