E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Study population - patient age 18-65 years - eligible for an ASCT for lymphoma or MM - at least ≥ 10 x 106 CD34+ cells/kg have been collected during the previous performed leucofereses procedure |
|
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To improve the regenerative capacity of the bone marrow compartment post-ASCT by infusing the autologous stem cell transplant directly in the bone marrow compartment instead of infusing the cells intravenously. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
a. Duration of short-term recovery (granulocytes ≥ 0.1 x 109/l or ≥ 0.5 x 109/l; platelets ≥ 20 x 109/l without transfusion) and long-term recovery (normalisation all 3 lineages; number of transfusions); peripheral blood counts 6 months post-ASCT. b. Graft-failure. A graft failure is defined as an in-adequate granulocyte recovery (<0.5x109/l) 6 weeks post-transplantation. c. Infection of the pelvis. d. In-vitro hematopoietic stem cell function 6-9 months post-ASCT with regard to phenotypic profile and functional activities. e. In-vivo imaging of the bone marrow compartment by performing FLT-PET 6-9 months following ASCT. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- age 18-65 years - eligible for ASCT for lymphoma or MM - at least ≥10x106 CD34+ cells/kg have been collected during the previously performed leucophereses procedure
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- inadequate stem cell collection (<10x106 CD34+ cells/kg) - previous radiotherapy on pelvis - previous infections complications in the pelvis region
|
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
a. Short-term (≤ day 21) regeneration and long-term regeneration (6-9 months) of all three hematopoietic cell lineages following ASCT, especially the duration of granulocytopenia (≤ 0.1x109/l, ≤ 0.5x109/l) and thrombocytopenia (platelets ≤ 20x109), the number of red blood cells and platelets transfusions. In addition the duration of normalisation of all 3 lineages following ASCT will be studied (Hb: ≥ 7.5 mmol/l; platelets ≥ 120x109/l; leucocytes ≥ 3.5x109/l). b. Graft failure is defined as an inadequate granulocyte (<0.5 x 109/l) recovery 6 weeks following transplantation. These data are based on the granulocyte recovery of 106 patients treated with ASCT for lymphoma (n=44) and MM (n=62). No significant difference was noticed between both groups. The combined results demonstrated granulocyte recovery (>0.5x109/l) after 22 +/- 12 days (x +/- SD) and platelet recovery (>20x109/l) after 31 +/- 40 days. c. Infection of the pelvis. d. In-vitro phenotyping and functional characterisation of the stem cell compartment by using Facs and in-vitro culture assays 6-9 months post-transplantation in the case the peripheral blood cell counts have been normalised as defined above13. e. In-vivo imaging of the bone marrow compartment by means of FLT-PET14. This imaging technique provides the opportunity to image the total bone marrow compartment and to quantify the uptake by calculating standardized uptake value (SUV) values. |
