About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of Escalated Doses of Targeted Marrow Irradiation (TMI) Combined With Fludarabine and Busulfan as Conditioning Regimen for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Transplantation

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of targeted marrow irradiation when given with fludarabine phosphate and busulfan before donor progenitor cell transplant in treating patients with hematologic malignancies. Targeted marrow irradiation is a type of specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the cancer cells, which may kill more cancer cells and cause less damage to normal cells. Giving targeted marrow irradiation and chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine phosphate and busulfan, before a donor progenitor cell transplant may help stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's progenitor cells. When the healthy progenitor cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make progenitor cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose of targeted marrow irradiation given in combination with fludarabine (fludarabine phosphate) and busulfan as conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe the toxicity profile of the conditioning regimen of targeted marrow irradiation (TMI), fludarabine and busulfan for allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor transplantation.

II. To describe the use of two techniques of delivering TMI, volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and TomoTherapy, on patient's computed tomography (CT) simulation images and describe differences in organ avoidance and target coverage, planning time, and treatment delivery time.

III. To determine the disease response status 100 days after allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation with the conditioning regimen of TMI, fludarabine and busulfan.

IV. To determine the rates of acute graft versus host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation with the conditioning regimen of TMI, fludarabine and busulfan.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of TMI.

CONDITIONING: Patients undergo TMI twice daily (BID) on days -10 to -7. Patients also receive fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days -6 to -2 and busulfan IV or orally (PO) on days -5 and -4.

TRANSPLANT: Patients undergo allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant on day 0.

GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE (GVHD) PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive anti-thymocyte globulin IV on days -3 and -2, tacrolimus IV or PO beginning on day -1 for at least 6 months with taper beginning at 4 months, and methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 100 days, 6 months, and 12 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing total marrow irradiation, fludarabine phosphate and busulfan in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Hematologic Malignancies, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 24 inclusion and 11 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 May 2021. 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 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.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose of targeted marrow irradiation defined as the dose level immediately below that in which greater than or equal to 2/6 subjects experience a dose limiting toxicity assessed using NCI CTCAE version 4.0 (time frame: Up to day 32). 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 May 2021.
