About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of Clofarabine Pre-conditioning Prior to Full or Reduced Intensity Allogeneic Transplantation in the Treatment of High Risk Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and Myelodysplasia.

This study has been designed to investigate the safety and feasibility of using a chemotherapy drug, Clofarabine, to reduce the disease burden before a donor transplant, in patients with high risk Acute Myeloid Leukaemia or Myelodysplasia (MDS). In this study Clofarabine chemotherapy will be given a few days before a reduced or full intensity donor stem cell transplant and without waiting for normal blood counts to recover. It is hoped that this approach may improve the outcome for patients with high risk AML and MDS after their transplant.

Read the detailed description

This is a pilot study. Twenty patients in total will be treated in two cohorts of 10 patients each.

  • Cohort One: Patients suitable for full intensity conditioning will receive Clofarabine pre-conditioning followed by a Cyclophosphamide and Total Body Irradiation conditioned allogeneic stem cell transplant.
  • Cohort Two: Patients not suitable for a full intensity TBI-based transplant due to age or co-morbidity will receive Clofarabine pre-conditioning followed by a reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplant using Fludarabine, intravenous Busulphan and Campath 1H.

The cohorts will be recruited concurrently. It is anticipated that recruitment of the 20 subjects will be achieved in 18 months to two years.

The study will be conducted at a single centre (Southampton, UK) in the first instance.

This design allows the use of a full intensity, TBI-based transplant conditioning schedule, for younger patients able to tolerate this approach but also the use of a reduced intensity transplant conditioning schedule in older or less fit patients who may still benefit from pre-conditioning with Clofarabine followed by an allogeneic stem cell transplant. This design, therefore, does not restrict potential recruitment to the study on age or performance status alone (within the limits set by ability to tolerate intensive chemotherapy and a transplant procedure).

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment related mortality (TRM)

    Treatment related mortality (TRM) measured at day 100 and 1 year post transplant and cause of mortality

    Measured: day 100 and 1 year post transplant

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    Measured: 1 year post transplant

  2. Event free survival (EFS)

    Measured: 1 year post transplant

  3. Efficacy of Clofarabine as a leukaemia bulk-reducing agent prior to transplant conditioning

    Efficacy of Clofarabine as a leukaemia bulk-reducing agent prior to transplant conditioning as determined by pre- and post-Clofarabine bone marrow biopsy examination

    Measured: Within 4 weeks prior to Clofarabine and 1 to 5 days following Clofarabine

  4. Time to engraftment

    Measured: by day 100 post transplant

  5. Donor/recipient chimerism

    Measured: day 30, day 100 and 1 year post transplant

  6. Immune reconstitution parameters (T, B and NK cell subsets)

    Measured: day 30, day 100 and 1 year post transplant

  7. Duration of hospital stay

    Duration of in patient hospital stay for Clofarabine preconditioning chemotherapy and stem cell transplant

    Measured: The duration of hospital stay will be measured, an expected average of 7 to 8 weeks

  8. Incidence of acute and chronic graft versus host disease

    Measured: 1 year post transplant

  9. Grade of acute and chronic graft versus host disease

    Measured: 1 year post transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Clofarabine in people with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and Myelodysplasia, run by University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2018. 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 Kingdom. 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 combined 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.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Treatment related mortality (TRM) (time frame: day 100 and 1 year 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 7 Sep 2018.
