Reduced Intensity AlloTransplant For Osteopetrosis
This study has been terminated.
Sponsors and Collaborators: University of Minnesota
Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota
Information provided by: University of Minnesota
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00638820
  Purpose

We believe that HSCT will help subjects with Osteopetrosis generate functioning osteoclasts, and by so doing assist in the resolution of the abnormal bone architecture, and the anemia and bone marrow failure that is also characteristic of this disease. However, we have found in past studies that approximately 30% of Osteopetrosis patients do not engraft. Therefore, in this study, we plan to use a different combination of pre-transplant drugs to try to make transplants safer for this disease, as well as to provide a second infusion of stem cells in patients with matched related or unrelated donors. The purpose of this research is to find a safer and more effective means of performing stem cell transplantation in patients with Osteopetrosis, using chemotherapy and radiation designed to bring about engraftment and lessen transplant mortality.

Further study details as provided by University of Minnesota:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Engraftment, as defined by the persistent presence of donor-derived cells. [ Time Frame: 100 days to 5 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The mortality associated with transplant [ Time Frame: by day 100 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Patient outcomes, based on differential imaging and biologic evaluations prior to transplantation and at designated points after transplantation [ Time Frame: day 100, 6 months, 1, 2 and 5 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 3
Study Start Date: September 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2008
Primary Completion Date: May 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Procedure: Stem Cell Transplantation
    The purpose of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is to introduce blood producing cells from a normal donor, in this case, stem cells obtained from cord blood.
    Drug: Campath, Busulfan, Clofarabine
    • 12 Campath-1H 0.3 mg/kg intravenously over 2 hours
    • 11 Campath-1H 0.3 mg/kg intravenously over 2 hours
    • 10 Campath-1H 0.3 mg/kg intravenously over 2 hours
    • 9 Busulfan <12 kg: 2.2 mg/kg/dose IV every 12 hours >12 kg: 1.6 mg/kg/dose IV every 12 hours
    • 8 Busulfan <12 kg: 2.2 mg/kg/dose IV every 12 hours >12 kg: 1.6 mg/kg/dose IV every 12 hours
    • 7 "Rest"
    • 6 Clofarabine 40 mg/m2 intravenously over 2 hours
    • 5 Clofarabine 40 mg/m2 intravenously over 2 hours
    • 4 Clofarabine 40 mg/m2 intravenously over 2 hours
    • 3 Clofarabine 40 mg/m2 intravenously over 2 hours
    • 2 Clofarabine 40 mg/m2 intravenously over 2 hours
    Procedure: Total Lymphoid Irradiation

    Dose 500 cGy via AP and PA fields (250 cGy ANT and 250 cGy POST). Treated AP and PA with the patient on a specially designed couch on the floor. Doses rate 26 cGy/minute. Photon energy 6 MV used. Prescribed to the mid-thickness at the center of the field. Superior border is 2 cm below the mastoid tip. Inferior border is at the ischial tuberosity. Lateral border covers the axillary lymph nodes. Below the diaphragm the field is wide enough to encompass the liver and spleen and the mesenteric nodes.

    Above the diaphragm the field encompasses cervical, infraclavicular, axillary, mediastinal, and hilar nodes.

    Central block 2 cm in width partially shields the rectum, vagina, and bladder. Clam shell on the scrotum for all males if possible.

Detailed Description:

This transplant protocol will test the following: 1) the ability to achieve engraftment with the reduced intensity protocol, 2) the mortality associated with transplant by day 100, 3) patient outcomes, based on differential imaging and biologic evaluations prior to transplantation and at designated points after transplantation (day 100, 6 months, 1, 2 and 5 years). Additional biologic studies will include microarray analysis, Campath levels just prior to the administration of the graft, and establishment of mesenchymal stem cell lines. In older patients, studies to evaluation osteoclast differentiation and function will also be offered.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   up to 45 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients eligible for transplantation under this protocol will be <45 years of age, and will be diagnosed with severe osteopetrosis. This will be defined as having the following manifestations of the disease.
  • Bones that are uniformly markedly dense based on skeletal survey
  • No history that would suggest autosomal dominant inheritance
  • Evidence of hematologic changes that are attributed to the underlying disease, including the need for ongoing transfusions, OR
  • the presence of progressive anemia or thrombocytopenia, OR a white blood cell differential with a predominance of immature forms and evidence of extramedullary hematopoiesis, OR
  • persistence of serious infectious complications that are thought to be due to the abnormal architecture of the bone that are resistant to surgical and medical interventions.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients >45 years of age
  • Evidence of hepatic failure
  • pulmonary dysfunction sufficient to substantially increase the risk of transplant
  • Renal dysfunction with GFR <30% of predicted.
  • Cardiac compromise sufficient to substantially increase the risk of transplantation
  • Severe, stable neurologic impairment.
  • HIV positivity.
  • Pregnant or lactating females
