About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Spectra Optia® Apheresis System Mononuclear Cell (MNC) Collection Procedure in Multiple Myeloma Patients

The purpose of this investigation is to establish that hematopoetic stem cells collected on a new centrifugal blood separator, CaridianBCT's Spectra Optia Apheresis System, are able to reconstitute the hematopoetic systems of patients treated with myeloablative therapy, equivalent to hematopoetic cells harvested on the predicate COBE® Spectra platform.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center (3-5) single-arm study that will compare the performance of the Spectra Optia Apheresis System's MNC protocol to that of the historical performance of the COBE Spectra MNC protocol. In order to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the two devices, a non-inferiority design will be used. The study will enroll patients with multiple myeloma who are to be treated with myeloablative chemotherapy, followed by bone-marrow rescue with an autologous peripheral blood stem-cell transplant. Peripheral blood stem cells will be collected using the Spectra Optia MNC protocol and re-infused following myeloablative chemotherapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Spectra Optia Apheresis SystemDevice

    In this study, the safety and effectiveness of the new device will be assessed in two ways. First, MNC collections in growth-factor mobilized cancer patients will be evaluated to confirm that the Spectra Optia is able to collect stem cells. Second, following stem-cell collection and transplant, the number of days required for the collected hematopoetic stem cells to engraft/recover will be compared with historical COBE Spectra engraftment/recovery data.

What is being measured

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

  1. Days Until Neutrophil Recovery Following Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant Minus the Historical Median Day Until Recovery.

    Neutrophil recovery is defined as the day on which the peripheral blood absolute neutrophil count exceeds 500/μL (ANC500)for the first of three consecutive measurements obtained on different days following transplant of peripheral blood stem cells in patients treated with myeloablative therapy for their underlying disease.

    As this was a test of non-inferiority, the null hypothesis to be tested (H0) was that the difference between the observed day to neutrophil recovery and the historical median day of neutrophil recovery was greater than two days. At two of the enrolling sites, Duke and Emory Universities, the median day to ANC500 was 12, while at the other two sites, Indiana University and the University of Utah, it was 11 days. Consequently, in the equation below, site specific-historic medians were compared to the observed days to achieve ANC500. H0: D > |2|, where D = Observed median day of neutrophil recovery - Site specific historic median day of neutrophil recovery.

    Measured: up to 28 days following transplant

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Days Until Platelet Recovery

    The time to platelet recovery is defined as the day following stem-cell transplant (Day 0) on which the platelet count exceeds 20,000/μL, for the first of three consecutive measurements obtained on different days, without platelet transfusion support within the preceding 7 days.

    Measured: up to 28 days following transplant

  2. CD34+ Cell Collection Efficiency.

    Collection efficiency (CE) is defined as the percentage of any given cellular subset, processed by the system, that is collected from the subject.

    CD34+ is a cell surface marker found on pluripotent hematopoeitic stem cells.

    Measured: up to 7 days

  3. Mononuclear Cel (MNC) Collection Efficiency

    Collection efficiency (CE) is defined as the percentage of any given cellular subset, processed by the system, that is collected from the subject.

    Determination of collection efficiency depends on an estimate of the average concentration of target cells in the patient's blood. Because these cells are continuously being removed during the collection, and are undergoing variable replacement from the bone marrow, this estimate will not be completely accurate. Underestimation of the concentration of target cells processed can lead to collection efficiencies of greater than 100%.

    Measured: up to 7 days

  4. Platelet Collection Efficiency

    Platelet contamination of the cell product was measured as the platelet collection efficiency, that is, as the percent of platelets processed that were collected.

    Measured: up to 7 days

  5. Hematocrit of MNC Product

    The hematocrit of the collected product was used to quantitate Red Blood Cell (RBC) contamination.

    Measured: 7 days

  6. Granulocyte % of MNC Product

    Granulocyte contamination of the MNC product was quantitated as the percent of total product White Blood Cells (WBC) that were segmented granulocytes or bands.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Spectra Optia Apheresis System in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Terumo BCT at 4 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?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 14 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 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 May 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?

Days Until Neutrophil Recovery Following Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant Minus the Historical Median Day Until Recovery. (time frame: up to 28 days following 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 1 May 2013.
