About this study

Official title: An Observational Retrospective/Prospective Study of the Combination of Post-transplant High Dose Cyclophosphamide, Tacrolimus and Mycophenolate Mofetil for the Prevention of Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease in Patients Eligible to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Using Peripheral Blood Stem Cells (PBSC) From Unrelated or Related, HLA-identical or Partially Mismatched Donors

This observational study is proposed to observe the effect of high-dose, post-transplantation cyclophosphamide after a T cell-replete, HLA-matched PBSC graft from an HLA-identical or mismatched donor.

Read the detailed description

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) remains the only curative approach for many hematological malignancies. In allogeneic HCT the donor immune system through the donor lymphocytes exerts both a beneficial and detrimental effect. Graft versus host disease (GVHD) represents the major complication and cause of mortality of allogeneic HCT. The principal aim that clinical transplant research must accomplish in the next years is to elaborate a transplant strategy devoid of any GVHD but still capable of generating, through donor lymphocytes, the graft versus tumor effect (GVT). The most used GVHD prophylaxis regimen remains the association of a calcineurin-inhibitor (CNIs) for six months and four low-doses of methotrexate (MTX) but the long length prophylaxis impacts on the process of post-transplant immune reconstitution slowing it down and exposing patients to a high risk of developing severe infections. The use of post-transplant cyclophosphamide looks the most promising among the new approaches to GVHD control. The study design is an observational retrospective/prospective Study in Patients Eligible to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant using Peripheral Blood Stem Cells (PBSC) from unrelated or related, HLA-identical or partially mismatched donors. In case of unrelated donor, donor selection will be done accordingly to Italian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (IBMDR). This protocol and the treatment plan outlined below are limited to the plan or GVHD prevention.

The treatment plan for all patients including pre-conditioning therapy, TBI/chemotherapy, central nervous system prophylaxis and other planned therapies, is described in the primary transplant protocols which the patient has been assigned by the investigational site.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of the observed GVHD rate and infections

    Evaluations through day 100 after transplantation will be performed with:

    1. Complete blood count (CBC), including differential and platelet count per standard practice guidelines at the performance site.
    2. Blood chemistries: including sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate (HCO3) or total carbon dioxide (CO2), glucose, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, total bilirubin, total protein, albumin, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase per standard practice guidelines at the performance site.

    Tacrolimus whole blood concentrations weekly starting on day 6. CMV surveillance, Aspergillus surveillance will be performed per standard practice guidelines at the performance site.

    Evaluations after 100 days post-transplant will be completed per standard practice guidelines at each performance site.

    Measured: 100 day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall survival

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Italy. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Fabrizio Carnevale-Schianca, MD (+39011993 ext. 3623, fabrizio.carnevale@ircc.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of the observed GVHD rate and infections (time frame: 100 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02300571, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Sep 2017.
