About this study

Official title: Reduction of Acute and Chronic Graft-versus-host Disease After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem-cell Transplantation by Adapting Cyclosporine Doses According to Calcineurin Activity : a Proof-of-concept Trial

The purpose of this trial is to assess whether an adaptation of cyclosporine (CsA) dose according to a longitudinal calcineurin (CN) activity monitoring would prevent the onset of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

Read the detailed description

Our previous studies established a correlation between increased calcineurin (CN) activity and the risk of developing severe acute GVHD in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients receiving immunosuppressive therapy with calcineurin inhibitors.

This proof-of-concept trial is aiming at evaluating CALCIneurin activity as a monitoring biomarker of efficacy of cyCLOsporine - (CALCICLO) - for the prophylaxis of acute GVHD. Our aim is to assess whether a longitudinal monitoring of CN activity would permit to adapt and optimize the dose of CsA that would prevent the onset of severe acute GVHD, yet still maintaining an acceptable tolerability profile.

Being tested
Dose adaptation according to CN activity monitoring, Cyclosporine (CsA)

What participants receive

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

  • Dose adaptation according to CN activity monitoringBehavioural

    The protocol of the CALCICLO trial consisted in a CsA dose adaptation during the first 100 days following transplantation. This dose adaptation was performed according to both residual CsA blood and CN activity levels only if the safety of vital functions - especially renal, liver, and neurological - was preserved as assessed by clinical evaluations and laboratory analyses such as creatinine clearance higher than 40 ml/min, serum bilirubin lower than 40 µM and absence of neurological signs. According to the protocol, CsA blood levels and CN activity were measured concomitantly at least once a week from day 0 to day 15, twice a week from day 16 to day 35 and then once a week until day 100.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary end point is the acute grade II to IV GVHD-free survival 100 days after transplantation.

    Measured: 100 days after transplantation.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Safety was a secondary endpoint. It was assessed through clinical assessments including vital signs, creatinine clearance, the presence or not of neurological signs evocative of, or consistent with CsA toxicity, creatinine clearance and serum bilirubin.

    Measured: 100 days after transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dose adaptation according to CN activity monitoring and Cyclosporine (CsA) in people with Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Graft Versus Host Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 2 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 1 Oct 2009. 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 France. 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?

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 end point is the acute grade II to IV GVHD-free survival 100 days after transplantation. (time frame: 100 days after transplantation.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00948727, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 1 Oct 2009.
