Post Transplant Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) for GvHD Prophylaxis

September 15, 2022 updated by: Omer Jamy, University of Alabama at Birmingham

Phase II Clinical Trial of the Use of Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide for Graft Versus Host Disease (GvHD) Prophylaxis Following Matched Unrelated Donor (MUD) and Mismatched Unrelated Donor (MMUD)Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)

The main purpose of this study is to assess the effects of cyclophosphamide (cytoxan) in the post transplant setting to prevent onset of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The primary objective is to determine the incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD following Allogeneic (allo) Hematopoeitic Cell Transplant (HCT) using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (cytoxan) for patients with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched unrelated (MUD) and mismatched unrelated (MMUD) donors. Other objectives for this study will be the determination of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) following allo HCT and assess the safety of post-transplant cyclophosphamide (cytoxan) for MUD and MMUD transplantation. Disease recurrence and time to recurrence in patients receiving post-transplant cyclophosphamide compared to historical control without post-transplant cyclophosphamide (cytoxan) will also be evaluated. Other objectives will be to determine the time of onset, severity, responsiveness to treatment, organs involved of acute and chronic GVHD as well as observation of Immune Reconstitution over time.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

19 years to 65 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
