General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
This was a Phase II study for patients with haematological malignancies to validate the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord blood transplantation using a reduced intensity preparative regimen in patients with disorders of the blood using the approach developed by the University of Minnesota.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
Patients underwent screening evaluations to confirm eligibility for the trial, these included: medical history, full blood count, biochemistry tests (liver and renal function), bone marrow, infection screening, imaging, cardiac function assessment and assessement by a radiation oncologist. Patients were counselled about these potential side effects prior to starting treatment. They were monitored closely for toxicity and the protocol listed details on supportive medication, dose modifications etc. In case side effects did occur out of clinic hours, all trial subjects were given patient cards with contact details of the local haematology team that they could access at any time for advice. Due to the potential effect of the trial treatment on pregnancy, the trial subjects had consented to use barrier methods of contraception during treatment for a year afterwards. All patients were assessed for toxicity and monitored regularly for adverse events.
|
||
Background therapy |
All patients will receive prophylaxis for GVHD with 2 drugs both beginning at day -3. These included: - Ciclosporin (CsA) therapy (schedule according to local policy) beginning on day -3 maintaining a trough level of 200-400 μg/L - Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 1g three times daily (tds) G-CSF (Lenograstim) 5 μg/kg (IV/SC)(prepared according to local policy) was also given daily from day +7 until ANC > 2.5x109/l for 2 consecutive days. The following medications and support therapies are examples of supportive care that were permitted as outlined in the protocol: - Transfusions for anaemia, thrombocytopenia - Broad spectrum antibiotics and GCSF - Parenteral nutrition - Antibiotic, antifungal and antiviral prophylaxis - Allopurinol to prevent tumour lysis syndrome The protocol contained guidance for the Investigator on the above supportive medication and dose modifications. | ||

Recruitment details |
A total of 60 patients were recruited.2 patients withdrew consent & were not included in the analysis.The 1st patient was registered 17 Dec 2009 & the last patient was registered on 20 Feb 2014. Patients were registered from 16 UK centres. Using the censored deaths method, the median follow-up time was 47 months (95% CI: 37-50). | ||||||
Pre-assignment

Screening details |
All inclusion criteria & none of the exclusions had to be met. Patients were ≤ 70 yrs,high risk, with advanced/poorly responding haematological disease with published evidence that RIC haematopoietic stem cell transplantation was likely to be effective,with no alternative therapy likely to achieve cure/significantly prolong disease-free survival. | ||||||

60 patients were enrolled into the RIC UCBT trial. 2 patients withdrew from the trial and were not included in the analysis. Patients received a reduced intensity conditioning regimen comprising of fludarabine 40mg/m2/day day -6 to -2 (total 200mg/m2), cyclophosphamide 50mg/kg day -6 and total body irradiation 200cGy day -1. The umbilical cord blood units transplanted were selected on the basis of ≥4/6 HLA A, B DRB1 matched with the recipient.

Dispensing labels for cyclophosphamide and fludarabine: permission was requested to retract these labels as there was no requirement for their submission.
IMP labels for cyclophosphamide and fludarabine:
Paragraph 26 of Annex 13 of the “EU Guidelines to Good Manufacturing Practice” sets out the information that should be included on labels “... unless its absence can be justified”. We proposed not to apply IMP labelling to fludaradine or cyclophosphamide for the following reason:
Both fludaradine & cyclophosphamide were taken from general hospital stocks on a per patient basis, with a very short time elapsing between dispensing and reconstitution. This procedure was carried out only in pharmacies by qualified personnel. Adding an IMP label for a very short time does not seem to add anything to protect the subjects involved in the trial that is not already satisfied by the normal pharmacy accountability and labelling procedures.
However, as further processing involved reconstitution of the fludaradine and cyclophosphamide in IV bags , we required sites to affix a dispensing label to the IV bag and they were provided with minimum wording for this label. This wording ensured protection of the patient, and traceability to enable identification of the product and trial and to facilitate proper use of the IMP.

Section 6.3.3: Additional statement that patients aged 60-70 years must had a co-morbidity index of 0-1.
Section 6.4: Change of exclusion criteria from ‘5-6/6 HLA-A, B, DRB1’ to ‘a suitably matched’ sibling donor.
Section 6.4: Exclusion criteria updated to indicate that patient’s aged 60-70 with a co-morbidity index of >1 were excluded.
Section 9.3: Chimerism analysis section updated to clarify that whole PBMC samples should be analysed in addition to the B-cell, T-cell & granulocyte fractions.
Section 22: References updated to include additional references for expected adverse events added to protocol appendix 6.
Appendix 6: updated to show only AEs expectedness for the trial treatment rather than expectedness for the individual IMPs. Expectedness for individual IMPs was taken directly from SPCs at UCL CTC to ensure that data was always current. |

18 Sep 2013 |
Main changes:
Protocol: changes to bring it in line with the Sponsor’s protocol template & to reflect changes to the trial monitoring plan following an update to the risk assessment for the trial in Dec2012.
Reference Safety Information: appendix 6 which listed AEs expected for the treatment regimen was updated in response to discussions at the MHRA statutory GCP inspection of the UCL CTC in Jan2013. Previously, appendix 6 included AEs expected for combination conditioning chemotherapy (FluCy), radiotherapy (TBI) and infused cells as a whole. This gave rise to concerns regarding a potential for under-reporting of SUSARs if AEs that were expected for the cells but not the drugs were classified as expected in line with the protocol appendix. The RIC UCBT CI considered it was not possible to separate out the AEs expected for the ‘TBI-chemotherapy conditioning regimen’ into separate lists for TBI and chemotherapy. The published literature addressed toxicities associated with ‘TBI-chemo conditioning’ as a whole, and all conditioning was given within the 7 days prior to transplant, therefore making it extremely difficult to undertake seperate causal assessments for individual chemotherapy agents, or for the chemotherapy conditioning regimen separately to radiotherapy. However, the CI considered it appropriate to seperate AEs expected for transplanted cell infusions from the expected AE list. Therefore for RIC-UCBT these were listed separately in appendix 6 and in section 13 of the protocol, and the expected AEs for transplanted cells were identified as exempt from SAE reporting. Details of complications of the stem cell infusion were collected as Urgent Events, to ensure the safety of the cell source continued to be assessed and recorded in the trial. SAEs not included in tthe list of AEs as expected for ‘TBI-chemotherapy conditioning' ontinued to be assessed.
