Trial Identification

Brief Title: A Phase I Trial of Myeloablative Conditioning w/ Clofarabine and HD Busulfan for Pts w/ Refractory Heme Malignancies Undergoing Allo PBSCT

Official Title: A Phase I Trial of Myeloablative Conditioning Using Clofarabine and High-Dose Busulfan for Patients With Refractory Hematological Malignancies Undergoing Allogeneic HSCT

Study ID: NCT00477542

Conditions

Hematologic Malignancies

Interventions

clofarabine

Study Description

Brief Summary: This is a phase trial to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of clofarabine in a combination with a myeloablative dose of busulfan. This is an initial step in developing a novel myeloablative preparative regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). While this phase I trial will initially develop the regimen in patients with refractory disease, it is expected that it will find its best application in patients with less advanced disease

Detailed Description: All patients will receive the same dose of busulfan. The dose of clofarabine will be escalated in successive cohorts of patients. Using a standard dose escalation design, successive cohorts of 3 patients will be treated with escalating doses of clofarabine. At the MTD (or highest dose-level if the MTD is not reached), the cohort will be expanded to 10 patients to better investigate correlative studies and give some preliminary idea of efficacy.
