About this study

Official title: Combined Transplantation of Unmanipulated Haploidentical and a SingleCord Blood Unit for Patients With Hematologic Malignancies

The primary objective of this study is to assess the rate of engraftment with combined haploidentical-cord blood transplantation in patients with pre-existing donor specific antibodies and in those with active disease.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective

  • To assess the rate of engraftment with combined haploidentical-cord blood transplantation in patients with pre-existing donor specific anti-HLA antibodies and in those with active disease

Secondary Objectives

  • To determine the long term fate of the haplo transplant and the cord blood transplant in this setting.
  • To describe the incidence and severity of acute and chronic GVHD.
Being tested
Melphalan, Fludarabine, Antithymocyte Globulin (ATG), Busulfan, Total Body Irradiation (TBI)
Medical subject headings
Hematologic Diseases

What participants receive

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

  • MelphalanDrug

    Also called Alkeran, Sarcolysin

    Melphalan is given daily for 2 days, overlapping with the completion of fludarabine.

  • FludarabineDrug

    Also called fludarabine phosphate, Fludara

    Fludarabine is given through the vein daily for 5 days.

  • Antithymocyte Globulin (ATG)Drug

    ATG is given every other day for 4 days.

  • BusulfanDrug

    Also called Myleran, Busulfex IV

    Busulfan is given daily for 4 days.

  • Total Body Irradiation (TBI)Drug

    TBI is given twice on the last day.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cord Blood Engraftment by Day 100

    Percent of subjects with cord blood engraftment on or before day 100. Detectable cord blood engraftment should be present by day 100 in at least 50% of patients.

    As of 44 days post-transplant, only haploidentical donor chimerism achieved in the one patient enrolled in the Fludarabine, melphalan, and ATG arm. There were no cord cells detected for this patient.

    Measured: 100 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Survival at Day 100

    Percent of subjects who are alive 100 days after the stem cell infusion

    Measured: 100 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Melphalan, Fludarabine and Antithymocyte Globulin (ATG) in people with Hematological Disease, run by University of Chicago 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 11 inclusion and 9 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 30 Apr 2015. 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 30 Apr 2015). 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?

Cord Blood Engraftment by Day 100 (time frame: 100 days). 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 30 Apr 2015.
