About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Post-Transplant Bortezomib and High Dose Cyclophosphamide as Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD) Prophylaxis After Reduced-Intensity Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT)

The purpose of this study is to determine if Bortezomib, known commercially as Velcade is safe and tolerated at different dose levels (amounts) with high dose Cyclophosphamide to be used as graft versus host disease prevention after reduced-intensity allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Read the detailed description

It is hypothesized that the administration of an early and short course cyclophosphamide and bortezomib after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantationin in the setting of matched related or unrelated donor transplantation using a standard reduced-intensity conditioning regimen is feasible.

The study is a phase I study. The primary objective of the study is to determine the feasibility and safety of increasing doses of bortezomib administered post-transplant in conjunction with fixed high dose cyclophosphamide, also administered post-transplant in the setting of reduced-intensity allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant, as GVHD prophylaxis strategy. Eligible patients will receive a conditioning regimen based on a combination of fludarabine and busulfan with or without rATG.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose Limiting Toxicity

    Grade 3 non-hematologic Common Toxicity Criteria toxicity directly related to bortezomib (such as peripheral neuropathy) or Grade 2 or > hepatic bilirubin Common Toxicity Criteria Graft failure

    Measured: Assessed daily (while inpatient) through clinical and laboratory examination up to 90 days.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Engraftment

    Neutrophil engraftment is defined as achieving an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 0.5 109/L for 3 consecutive measurements on different days. The first of the 3 days will be considered the day of neutrophil engraftment.

    Platelet engraftment is defined as platelet count > 20 109/L for 3 consecutive measurements over at least 3 days. The first of the 3 days will be considered the day of platelet engraftment.

    In this study, graft failure is defined as lack of achieving neutrophil engraftment by day 22 and donor chimerism > 50% by day 45.

    Measured: Assessed daily by laboratory evaluation until engraftment or up to 90 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cohort 1-Bortezomib (Velcade ®), Cohort 2-Bortezomib (Velcade ®) and Cohort 3-Bortezomib (Velcade ®) in people with Hematological Malignancy, run by Corewell Health West 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 13 inclusion and 16 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 2 Jun 2023. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 May 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?

Dose Limiting Toxicity (time frame: Assessed daily (while inpatient) through clinical and laboratory examination up to 90 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 2 Jun 2023.
