About this study

This is a study of amifostine to determine how effective it is in the reduction of infection in a high dose chemotherapy regimen with autologous stem cell rescue in children with high risk, relapsed or refractory pediatric solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

Autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) permits chemotherapy dose-escalation to exploit the steep dose-response of solid tumors to alkylating agents. Although ASCT regimens have activity in some high risk pediatric solid tumors, non-hematological regimen-related morbidity and mortality are major barriers to additional dose escalation. We hypothesized that the chemoprotectant amifostine (Ethyol®) would reduce the toxicity of ASCT without compromising anti-tumor efficacy. This is a study of amifostine at 1125 mg/m2 to determine the efficacy of it's chemoprotection in the reduction of bacteremia in a high dose busulfan, melphalan and thiotepa chemotherapy regimen with autologous stem cell rescue in children with high risk, relapsed or refractory pediatric solid tumors.

What participants receive

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

  • AmifostineDrug

    Also called Ethyol

    Amifostine (Ethyol) 1125 mg/m2 will be given intravenously daily over 5 minutes starting 30 minutes prior to chemotherapy (melphalan or thiotepa) on days -5, -4, -3, -2, and on day -1 twenty four hours after prior dose of amifostine.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Amifostine in people with Solid Tumors and Brain Tumors, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati 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 12 inclusion and 7 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 25 Jan 2022. 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 25 Jan 2022). 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?

Incidence of Bacteriemia in a High Dose Busulfan, Melphalan and Thiotepa Chemotherapy Regimen With Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Rescue in Patients With High Risk and Relapsed or Refractory Pediatric Solid Tumors (time frame: 3 months). 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 25 Jan 2022.
