About this study

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess the efficacy of oral BDP for prevention of acute GVHD after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation with myeloablative conditioning regimens.

OUTLINE:

Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive oral beclomethasone dipropionate 4 times daily beginning at the start of the conditioning regimen and continuing through day 75 post-transplant. Patients also receive a standard immunosuppressive regimen comprising tacrolimus and methotrexate post-transplant.

ARM II: Patients receive oral placebo 4 times daily beginning at the start of the conditioning regimen and continuing through day 75 post-transplant. Patients also receive a standard immunosuppressive regimen comprising tacrolimus and methotrexate post-transplant.

In both arms, treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion

  • Allogeneic HCT with marrow or growth-factor mobilized blood cells from an HLA-A, B, C, DRB1, and HLA-DQB1-allele matched or single-allele or antigen mismatched related or unrelated donor
  • Use of myeloablative pre-transplant conditioning regimen with > 800 cGy total body irradiation and cyclophosphamide, or high-dose busulfan and cyclophosphamide
  • Use of methotrexate and tacrolimus for prevention of GVHD after allogeneic HCT
  • Informed consent document signed

Exclusion

  • Cord blood transplant recipients
  • Use of T cell depletion or rabbit antithymocyte globulin to prevent acute GVHD
  • Treatment with rabbit antithymocyte globulin or alemtuzumab within 3 months before the date of HCT
  • Participation in another therapeutic trial where the primary endpoint is related to acute GVHD
  • Hospitalization at the beginning of the pre-transplant conditioning regimen because of pre-existing medical complications

    Time frame: On or before day 90 after the transplant

  7. Proportion of patients with grade IIa GVHD

    Time frame: On or before day 90 after the transplant

  8. Proportions of patients with grades IIa and IIb - IV GVHD

    Time frame: On or before day 90 after the transplant

  9. Cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppressive treatment

    Time frame: At any time after HCT

  10. Number of days in the hospital

    Time frame: During the first 90 days after HCT

  11. Non-relapse mortality

    Time frame: At any time after HCT

  12. Overall survival

    Time frame: At any time after HCT

  13. Survival

    Time frame: At 200 days after HCT

  14. Safety

    Time frame: On or before day 90 after the transplant

  15. Feasibility

    Time frame: First 75 days after HCT

  16. Survival without recurrent malignancy

    Time frame: At any time after HCT
