About this study

Official title: Reduced-Intensity Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation as Second Transplantation for Patients With Disease Relapse or Myelodysplasia After Prior Autologous Transplantation

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as busulfan and fludarabine phosphate, before a peripheral 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. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving methotrexate, tacrolimus, and antithymocyte globulin before and after the transplant may stop this from happening. Once the donated stem cells begin working, the patient's immune system may see the remaining cancer cells as not belonging in the patient's body and destroy them (called graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's white blood cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) may boost this effect.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with relapsed hematologic malignancies or secondary myelodysplasia previously treated with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant .

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To demonstrate the efficacy of performing reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in patients with relapsed hematologic malignancies or secondary myelodysplasia after completion of prior high-dose chemotherapy and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
  • To compare the strategy of this regimen with the strategy used in CALGB-100002.

Secondary

  • To describe the response rate at 6 and 12 months in patients treated with this regimen.
  • To describe the time-to-progression in patients treated with this regimen.
  • To determine the ability to use pharmacokinetic-directed busulfan to achieve AUC within 20% of target AUC in > 80% of patients.
  • To determine percent of donor chimerism in T-cell, myeloid and B-cell populations achieved with this regimen compared with CALGB-100002.
  • To determine the risk of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease and other toxicities of this regimen in these patients.
  • To describe the overall survival and disease-free survival of patients treated on this regimen.
  • To determine the rate of viral, bacterial, and fungal opportunistic infections occurring in the first year after transplantation compared with CALGB-100002.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

  • Preparative Regimen:
  • Busulfan test dose: Patients receive busulfan IV over 45 minutes once during days -14 and -9.
  • Busulfan treatment dose: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate IV over 30 minutes on days -7 to -3 and busulfan IV over 3 hours on days -6 to -3.
  • Graft-vs-Host Disease (GVHD) Prophylaxis:
  • HLA-identical donor: Patients receive antithymocyte globulin IV over 6-10 hours on days -6 to -5; oral tacrolimus twice daily on days -2 to 90 followed by a taper* as tolerated until day 150 or 180; and methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, and 6.

NOTE: * Tacrolimus may be tapered on days 60-90 if donor chimerism of CD3+ cells is < 50% at day 60 or patient has progressive disease.

  • Matched-unrelated donor: Patients receive antithymocyte globulin, tacrolimus, and methotrexate as in HLA-identical donor regimen. Patients also receive oral mycophenolate mofetil twice daily on days 0 to 60.
  • Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation: Patients undergo allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation on days 0 and 1. Patients then receive filgrastim subcutaneously daily beginning on day 7 and continuing until blood counts recover.
  • Donor Lymphocyte Infusion (DLI): After day 180 (or day 210 for patients without an HLA-identical donor), patients with stable or progressive disease and no active GVHD may receive up to 3 DLIs every 8 weeks.

Blood samples are collected at baseline and then periodically during study therapy for pharmacokinetic studies.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for up to 5½ years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Event-free Survival (EFS)

    EFS was defined as the date of transplant to date of progression or develop myelodysplasia after autologous transplant. EFS was estimated using the Kaplan Meier method.

    Measured: Duration of study (up to 5.5 years)

  2. Comparison of EFS Distribution to That of CALGB-100002

    EFS distributions between CALGB-100002 and this study will be compared using the two-sample log-rank test.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Complete Response Rate

    Complete response (CR) rate is reported as the percentage of participants who achieved a CR.

    Measured: Up to 5.5 years

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the transplant from registration to death of any cause. Surviving patients were censored at the date of last follow-up. The median OS with 95% confidence interval (CI) was estimated using the Kaplan Meier method.

    Measured: Up to 5.5 years

  3. Rate of Opportunistic Infections

    Percent of participants who have an opportunistic (viral, bacterial and fungal) infection in the first year following transplant.

    Measured: 1 year post transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing anti-thymocyte globulin, donor lymphocytes and filgrastim in people with Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology at 10 sites 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?

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 24 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites 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 Mar 2017). 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?

Event-free Survival (EFS) (time frame: Duration of study (up to 5.5 years)). 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 24 Mar 2017.
