Adoptive Immunotherapy in Relapsed Hematological Malignancy: Early GVHD Prophylaxis
United States31 participantsStarted 2015-11-04
Plain-language summary
Determine the relapse-free, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI)-free survival in patients receiving the investigational regimen.This is a randomized phase II clinical trial, comparing two different dosing schedules of mycophenolate mofetil for graft versus host disease (GVHD) prevention following allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Risk for relapse, GVHD and non-relapse mortality will be assessed. Adaptive randomization between two study arms will be performed based on T cell counts at day 60.

Inclusion Criteria
* Any of the following high risk or recurrent hematological malignancies:
* Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)
* Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)
* Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
* Multiple myeloma (MM)
* Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
* Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)
* Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
* Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
\*Note: Determination that the malignancy is high risk will be made by the investigator.
* Investigator determination that the patient is an appropriate candidate for reduced intensity allogeneic SCT with the standard Massey Cancer Center-Virginia Commonwealth Health System Bone Marrow Transplant Massey Cancer Center Virginia Commonwealth University Health System Bone Marrow Transplant (MCC-VCUHS BMT) Program regimen employed in this trial
* Patients with or without previous myeloablative autologous transplant
* HLA-matched stem cell donor, either related (6/6 or 5/6 loci matched) or unrelated (8/8 or 7/8 loci matched)
\*Note: Unrelated donors must be matched at HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 loci. However, a single locus mismatch will be acceptable in the event a more closely matched donor is not available.
* Age ≥ 40 to \< 75 years; patients 18 to 39 years of age will be eligible only if the investigator has determined that the patient has comorbidity(ies) precluding conventional allogeneic transplantation with full intensity myeloablative conditioning
* Karnofsky Performance Status of 70-100%
* Negative serology for HIV
* Women who…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
