About this study

Official title: Phase I Dose Escalation Trial of Denileukin Diftitox (Ontak) Post Autologous Transplantation.

The primary goal of this study is to determine the feasibility and safety of giving two doses of denileukin diftitox (DD) at days 0 and 21 post autologous stem cell transplantation in a dose escalation fashion. Secondary goals include evaluating the the effect of DD on the number and percentage of T-regs in the peripheral blood post transplant at each dose level, the effect of DD on T cell (CD4/CD8) reconstitution post transplant at each dose level and determining the time to engraftment: absolute neutrophil count (>0.5 x 10^9/L for 3 consecutive days), and platelet (>20X 10^9/L for 3 consecutive days).

The hypothesis for the study is based on the ability of DD to deplete T-regs and subsequently enhance the immune reconstitution and reverse post transplant lymphopenia. This may indirectly enhance the efficacy of autologous transplantation and reduce disease relapse.

What participants receive

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

  • Denileukin Diftitox (Ontak)Drug

    Also called Ontak®

    After receiving their stem cell transplant on Day 0, participants will receive study agent via a 30 minute infusion. Participants will also receive a 30 minute infusion of study agent on Day 21.

    Follow-up visits for clinical assessment, blood draws for routine clinical laboratory studies and for immuno-correlative studies will also take place on days 42, 90, 180 and 360.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assess Toxicities of Giving Two Doses of Ontak at Days 0 and 21 Post Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in a Dose Escalation Fashion.

    After drug infusion, participants will be closely monitored for at least 4 hours for side effects

    Measured: Up to 21 days post transplant

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To Evaluate the Effect of Ontak on the Number and Percentage of Regulatory T Cells in the Peripheral Blood Post Transplant at Each Dose Level.

    Measured: days 0 and 21 post autologous stem cell transplantation

  2. To Evaluate the Effect of Ontak on T Cell CD4/CD8 Reconstitution Post Transplant at Each Dose.

    Measured: days 0 and 21 post autologous stem cell transplantation

  3. To Evaluate the Effect of Ontak on Engraftment of Neutrophils and Platelets Post Transplant at Each Dose.

    During hospitalization stay (approximately 2 weeks), participants will receive injections of G-CSF on a daily basis starting on Day 6 and ending when white blood cells have engrafted. Participants usually remain hospitalized until engraftment.

    Measured: days 0 and 21 post autologous stem cell transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Denileukin Diftitox (Ontak) in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute 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 12 inclusion and 5 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 20 Jun 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Dec 2013). 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?

Assess Toxicities of Giving Two Doses of Ontak at Days 0 and 21 Post Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in a Dose Escalation Fashion. (time frame: Up to 21 days post transplant). 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 20 Jun 2017.
