Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide and Urinary-derived Human Chorionic Gonadotropin and Epidermal Growth Factor (uhCG/EGF) as Graft Versus Host Disease Prophylaxis for Mismatched Unrelated Donor Transplantation

So this a Phase I study with primary objective to determine the feasibility and safety of combining post-transplant cyclophosphamide and urinary-derived human chorionic gonadotropin and epidermal growth factor (uhCG/EGF) as graft versus host disease prophylaxis in stem cell transplant with MMUDs Secondary objectives are to determine the incidence acute and chronic GVHD, progression-free survival , and overall survival

Study Overview

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

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

18 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.

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
MTD
Time Frame: day+30 post SCT
The maximum tolerated dose
day+30 post SCT
Incidence and severity of dose limiting toxicity (DLTs)
Time Frame: day+30 post SCT
The overall incidence and severity of DLTs for uhCG/EGF
day+30 post SCT

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
acute GVHD
Time Frame: till day +100 post SCT
Cumulative incidence of acute GVHD
till day +100 post SCT
Chronic GVHD
Time Frame: one year post SCT
Cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD
one year post SCT
Overall survival
Time Frame: one year post SCT
Death from any cause will be considered an event. Surviving patients will be censored at the time of last follow up.
one year post SCT
Disease free survival
Time Frame: one year
Survival following allogeneic SCT without relapse or progression. Relapse or progression of disease, or death are considered events

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
