Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to Improve Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Homing and Subsequent Engraftment

May 9, 2017 updated by: University of Kansas Medical Center

A Pilot Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to Improve Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell Homing and Subsequent Engraftment

By doing this study, researchers hope to learn the following:

  • If providing hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy prior to an umbilical cord blood (UBC) transplant will help to improve the homing process
  • The safety of HBO administration in the setting of the UBC transplant
  • The effects of HBO therapy on the engraftment process

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Research has suggested that high levels of erythropoietin (EPO) decreases the ability of infused umbilical cord stem cells to home to the bone marrow. The investigators will investigate the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy to decrease the plasma concentrations of EPO prior to UBC transplant and evaluate the resulting impact on UBC homing.

Study Type

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

13 years to 66 years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety of HBO Administration in the Setting of UCB Stem Cell Transplantation
Time Frame: Toxicity assessment with 24hrs of treatment
Treatment limiting toxicities are defined as the occurrence of any of the following complications within 24hrs of treatment: pneumothorax, death, irreversible grade III or any grade IV toxicity that is determined by the treating physician to be related to HBO therapy.
Toxicity assessment with 24hrs of treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Determine the Effects of HBO Therapy on Neutrophil Count Recovery.
Time Frame: Daily measurement of neutrophil counts up to 90 days post transplant.
Time in days until neutrophil count recovery is achieved; neutrophil count recovery is defined as three consecutive days of achieving a neutrophil level >/= 500 u/L.
Daily measurement of neutrophil counts up to 90 days post transplant.
Proportion of Reduced Intensity Conditioning Participants With Complete Engraftment.
Time Frame: 28 days
Complete engraftment is defined as as marrow reconstitution of greater than 90% of donor cells. Degree of engraftment will be determined through bone marrow chimerism assessment at either day 21 or day 28.
