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 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age 50 to 75 years or age 18 to 49 with one or more of these risk factors: prior autologous, allogeneic or syngeneic HCT (Hematopoietic cell transplantation); not in first complete remission or first chronic phase; and/or presence of one or more medical conditions that would place the subject at high risk such as heart and kidney disease.
  • Subjects with hematologic cancers must have received at least one previous course of chemotherapy or biological therapy. In other words, the subject cannot enroll in this trial for initial treatment of the disease.

Who cannot join

  • Eligible for another study or standard of care treatment that offers higher probability of cure or long-term control of subject's disease.
  • Severe abnormal function of organs such as heart, kidneys, liver.
  • Untreated or progressive central nervous system involvement by the disease.
  • Subject is pregnant or breast-feeding.

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Reduced-Intensity Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (PBSCT) for Treatment of Hematologic Malignancies and Hematopoietic Failure States

The purpose of this study is to look at whether the combination of lower-dose chemotherapy with two chemotherapy (anti-cancer) drugs, called busulfan and melphalan, and an antibody medication called alemtuzumab (Campath®), can prevent rejection of donor blood stem cells so that those cells take hold and build a healthy new blood cell factory after transplant. The study will also look at the safety of the combination of drugs and of the transplant of peripheral blood stem cells from a healthy relative or an unrelated donor.

Read the detailed description

Transplantation of related or unrelated allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) after administration of a reduced-intensity regimen of busulfan, melphalan and alemtuzumab will be associated with satisfactory engraftment and acceptable post-transplant non-relapse mortality.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Presence of Donor Lymphohematopoietic Chimerism (Defined as at Least 50% Donor Cells in the Peripheral Blood) in Peripheral Blood by Day +100 (i.e., 100 Days After Allogeneic PBSCT).

    To determine the efficacy of related or unrelated allogeneic PBSC transplantation (PBSCT) using a preparative regimen of busulfan, melphalan and alemtuzumab, as measured by durable donor lymphohematopoietic cell engraftment. The primary efficacy endpoint is the presence of donor lymphohematopoietic chimerism (defined as at least 50% donor cells in the peripheral blood) in peripheral blood by day +100 (i.e., 100 days after allogeneic PBSCT).

    Measured: Day +100

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of Participants With Relapse-free Survival.

    To determine the safety of related or unrelated allogeneic PBSCT using a preparative regimen of busulfan, melphalan and alemtuzumab. The primary safety endpoint is non-relapse mortality at day +100.

    Measured: Day +100

  2. Number of Participants With Event-free Survival.

    To determine the safety of related or unrelated allogeneic PBSCT using a preparative regimen of busulfan, melphalan and alemtuzumab. The primary safety endpoint is non-relapse mortality at day +100.

    Measured: Day +100

  3. Number of Participants With Overall Survival.

    To determine the safety of related or unrelated allogeneic PBSCT using a preparative regimen of busulfan, melphalan and alemtuzumab. The primary safety endpoint is non-relapse mortality at day +100.

    Measured: Day +100

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing busulfan, and melphalan, and alemtuzumab in people with Hematologic Neoplasms and Multiple Myeloma, run by University of Arizona 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 9 Sep 2019. 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 24 Dec 2018). 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 Participants With Presence of Donor Lymphohematopoietic Chimerism (Defined as at Least 50% Donor Cells in the Peripheral Blood) in Peripheral Blood by Day +100 (i.e., 100 Days After Allogeneic PBSCT). (time frame: Day +100). 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 9 Sep 2019.
