About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of GnRH Agonist for the Preservation of Ovarian Function After Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT)

Women undergoing myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (MA HCT) will receive GnRH agonist leuprolide. Women undergoing reduced intensity allogeneic (RIC) HCT will be observed.

Read the detailed description

This study is to use gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist leuprolide prior myeloablative hematopoietic cell transplantation to prevent ovarian dysfunction in post-menarchal women.

The primary objective is to determine the effect of GnRH agonists on the incidence of ovarian failure.

The secondary objectives are

  • to determine how effective GnRH agonists are at suppressing menses during
  • to determine the incidence and timing of resumption of menstrual cycles after HCT
  • to determine the incidence and timing of resumption of normal FSH and LH levels after HCT
  • to determine the incidence of normal AMH levels after HCT
  • to determine the effect of GnRH agonists on immune reconstitution after HCT
  • to assess the safety and tolerability of GnRH agonists in the context of HCT

A total of 47 patients will be accrued in this study.

What participants receive

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

  • LeuprolideDrug

    Also called Lupron Depot-3(R), Leuprolide acetate

    Long-acting leuprolide 11.25 mg intramuscularly (IM) pre-transplant (HCT) and 3 months post-HCT PLUS Short-acting leuprolide 0.2 mg subcutaneously (SQ) daily for 14 days

  • hematopoietic cell transplantBiological

    Also called HCT

    Conventional bone marrow transplant regimen.

  • reduced intensity allogeneic HCTBiological

    Also called RIC

    A reduced-intensity conditioning transplant is a bone marrow or cord blood transplant (also called a BMT) that uses less intense treatment to prepare for transplant than a standard transplant does. While a standard transplant uses the pre-transplant treatment to destroy most of the disease cells, a reduced-intensity transplant relies on the donor's immune cells to fight disease.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of Number of Patients With Ovarian Failure

    Comparison of treatment arms; interventional versus observational. Ovarian failure rate is based on FSH measured at 180 days after HCT; to determine the effect of GnRH agonists on the incidence of ovarian failure (i.e. FSH >40 IU/L) after transplant.

    Measured: Through Day 180 Post Transplant

Secondary outcomes (14)

  5. Comparison of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Levels

    Comparison of treatment arms; interventional versus observational average FSH levels.

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Comparison of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Levels

    Measured: 2 years

  7. Comparison of Number of Patients Who Resumed Menstrual Cycles

    Comparison of treatment arms; interventional versus observational. Count of patients who resumed menses after hematopoietic cell transplant

    Measured: Day 365 Post Transplant

  8. Comparison of Lutineizing Hormone (LH) Levels

    Comparison of treatment arms; interventional versus observational average LH levels during study.

    Measured: Day 100

  10. Comparison of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Levels

    Comparison of treatment arms; interventional versus observational average LH levels during study.

    Measured: Day 180

  11. Comparison of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Levels

    Comparison of treatment arms; interventional versus observational average LH levels during study.

    Measured: 1 year

  12. Comparison of Leuprolide Hormone (LH) Levels

    Comparison of treatment arms; interventional versus observational average LH levels during study.

    Measured: 2 years

  13. Comparison of Antimullerian Hormone (AMH) Levels After Transplant

    Comparison of treatment arms; interventional versus observational average AMH levels after receiving transplant.

    Measured: Day Prior to Transplant

  14. Comparison of Antimullerian Hormone (AMH) Levels After Transplant

    Comparison of treatment arms; interventional versus observational average AMH levels after receiving transplant.

    Measured: Day 180 after Transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Leuprolide, hematopoietic cell transplant and reduced intensity allogeneic HCT in people with Multiple Myeloma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota 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 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 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 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 17 Jul 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?

Comparison of Number of Patients With Ovarian Failure (time frame: Through Day 180 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 5 Dec 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
