About this study

Official title: Haploidentical Donor NK Cell Adoptive Therapy and Double T Cell Depleted Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation With Post-Transplant IL-2 Immune Therapy For Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells and natural killer cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Giving interleukin-2 (IL-2, aldesleukin) after transplant may stimulate the natural killer cells to kill any remaining cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving combination chemotherapy together with total-body irradiation followed by interleukin-2 (IL-2, aldesleukin), and umbilical cord blood transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine the rate of neutrophil engraftment and grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following a T cell depleted (TCD) umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation without post-transplant immunosuppression followed by administration of interleukin-2 (IL-2, aldesleukin) (every other day) days +3 to +13 to expand NK cells in vivo.

Secondary

  • To evaluate the safety of this regimen as assessed by monitoring the rates of graft failure, acute GVHD, and transplant-related mortality (TRM).
  • To perform quantitative, phenotypic, and functional assessments of the in vivo expanded UCB-derived NK cells on (day +72).
  • To assess clinical disease response (leukemia clearance and complete remission) and survival duration in these patients.
  • To evaluate the tolerability of aldesleukin in these patients.
  • To evaluate the tolerance of IL-2

OUTLINE:

  • Preparative regimen: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days -7 to -5 and cyclophosphamide IV on days -7 and -6. Patients undergo total-body irradiation twice daily on days -5 to -2.
  • Transplantation: Patients undergo T-cell depleted umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation on day 0.
  • IL-2 (Aldesleukin) therapy: Patients receive aldesleukin subcutaneously on days +3 6 doses every other day) and +60 (6 doses every other day).

Patients are followed periodically for up to 2 years after transplant.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Neutrophil Engraftment

    Number of patient with absolute neutrophils >500*10^8/kg by 42 days post transplant.

    Measured: Day 42

  2. Number of Patients With Grade III-IV Acute Graft-Versus-Host (GVHD) Disease

    Number of patients with Grade III-IV GVHD. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a complication that can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant in which the newly transplanted material attacks the transplant recipient's body.

    Acute GVHD usually happens within the first 3 months after transplant.

    Measured: Day 100 Post Transplant

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Incidence of Primary Graft Failure

    Incidence of graft failure defined as an absolute neutrophil count of less than 500/uL and a bone marrow that is less than 5% cellular (marrow aplasia) on day 42.

    Measured: Day 42

  2. Number of Patients With Acute Graft-Versus-Host (GVHD) Disease

    Number of patients with any grade of GVHD. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a complication that can occur after a stem cell or bone marrow transplant in which the newly transplanted material attacks the transplant recipient's body.

    Acute GVHD usually happens within the first 3 months after transplant.

    Measured: Day 100 Post Transplant

  3. Number of Patients With Transplant-Related Death (TRD)

    Number of patients whose death is related to study treatment received. TRD is defined as the number of patients that die without prior relapse.

    Measured: 1 Year Post Transplant

  4. Number of Patients With Complete Remission of Disease

    Disease response will be measured by rate of leukemic clearance (clearance of blasts in blood at timepoint 0) and complete remission (less than 5% blasts and recovery of hematopoiesis).

    Measured: Day 100

  5. Median Overall Survival

    Average number of days the patients were alive after receiving UCB transplantation.

    Measured: Month 6

  6. Number of Patients With Successful Natural Killer Expansion

    Successful in vivo donor NK cell expansion will be defined as an absolute circulating donor-derived NK cell count of >100 cells/μl.

    Measured: Day 72 Post Transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing aldesleukin, cyclophosphamide and fludarabine phosphate in people with Leukemia, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota 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 18 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 28 Dec 2017. 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 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 16 Jul 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?

Number of Patients With Neutrophil Engraftment (time frame: Day 42). The study lists 2 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 28 Dec 2017.
