Minor Histocompatibility Vaccination After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation for Advanced Hematologic Malignancies - Full Text View

Sponsor:	University of Chicago
Information provided by:	University of Chicago
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00943293

Purpose

This is a clinical research study designed to evaluate whether the administration of a vaccine to patients after transplant consisting of a minor histocompatibility antigen (mHag peptide) mixed with G-CSF (a drug intended to stimulate the immune system) can stimulate increased graft versus leukemia (GVL) responses without causing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).

Further study details as provided by University of Chicago:

Primary Outcome Measures:

To determine in HLA A2 positive patients with hematological malignancies undergoing transplantation from HLA-identical donors, if HA1/2-peptide vaccinations can induce or enhance short- and long-term allogeneic HA1/2-specific T cell immunity. [ Time Frame: 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To evaluate if HA1/2 peptide vaccination induces toxicity, especially acute GVHD after HLA-identical transplantation. [ Time Frame: 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment:	25
Study Start Date:	May 2003
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	January 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Intervention Details:

Fludarabine 30 mg/m2 intravenously daily at the same time over 30 minutes on days -7,-6,-5,4,-3.

Melphalan 140 mg/m2 IV on day -2.

Campath, 20 mg IV on day -7, 6, -5, -4, and -3.
