We aren't doctors. Always consult your mD about Phase I Pilot Study of Total-Body Irradiation, Anti-Thymocyte Globulin and Cyclophosphamide Followed By Syngeneic or Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Phase I Pilot Study of Total-Body Irradiation, Anti-Thymocyte Globulin and Cyclophosphamide Followed By Syngeneic or Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis Clinical research trials and Phase I Pilot Study of Total-Body Irradiation, Anti-Thymocyte Globulin and Cyclophosphamide Followed By Syngeneic or Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis health trials occur in a lot of of places throughout the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically assess the effectivity of new does drugs. The role of the studies / projects is to resolve certain human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect remedies for all varieties of circumstances, such as Phase I Pilot Study of Total-Body Irradiation, Anti-Thymocyte Globulin and Cyclophosphamide Followed By Syngeneic or Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis. Phase I Pilot Study of Total-Body Irradiation, Anti-Thymocyte Globulin and Cyclophosphamide Followed By Syngeneic or Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain health treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Most times the human subjects recieve professional assistance for free of charge, and every now and again they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Phase I Pilot Study of Total-Body Irradiation, Anti-Thymocyte Globulin and Cyclophosphamide Followed By Syngeneic or Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis clinical trial. Human subjects frequently get the finest healthcare available for their Phase I Pilot Study of Total-Body Irradiation, Anti-Thymocyte Globulin and Cyclophosphamide Followed By Syngeneic or Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis condition. Risks are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, medical dangers (possibly life-threatening), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Phase I Pilot Study of Total-Body Irradiation, Anti-Thymocyte Globulin and Cyclophosphamide Followed By Syngeneic or Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
For Condition: Multiple Sclerosis
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center ,
Synopsis: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the toxicity of total-body irradiation, anti-thymocyte globulin, and cyclophosphamide followed by syngeneic or autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation in patients with multiple sclerosis. II. Determine the disease response of patients treated with this regimen. III. Determine the safety and efficacy of filgrastim (G-CSF) for PBSC mobilization in this patient population.
Details: PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive oral prednisone on days 0-10. Beginning on day 1, patients undergoing autologous peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily until leukapheresis is completed. Leukapheresis begins on approximately day 4 and continues until adequate CD34+ PBSC are collected. PBSC are collected from syngeneic donors in a similar manner. Patients undergo total-body irradiation twice daily on days -5 and -4. Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV on days -3 and -2 and anti-thymocyte globulin IV on days -5, -3, -1, 1, 3, and 5. Patients undergo autologous or syngeneic PBSC transplantation on day 0. Following PBSC transplantation, patients receive oral prednisone on days 7-30 and G-CSF IV daily beginning on day 0 and continuing until blood counts recover. Patients are followed at 30, 80, and 90 days, monthly for 6 months, and then at 1 and 2 years.
Eligibility:
Study Type: Interventional, Treatment
Minimum Age/Maximum Age: 18 Years/60 Years
Genders: Both
Protocol Entry Criteria: PROTOCOL ENTRY CRITERIA: --Disease Characteristics-- Diagnosis of rapidly progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) by Proser criteria and at high risk for a fatal outcome or severe disability with one of the following: - Primary progressive disease - Relapsing/remitting disease with 2 or more attacks in 2 years - Secondary progressive disease Extended disability status scale (EDSS) between 5.0 and 8.0 with deterioration in the EDSS of 1 or more points over the past year More than 60 days since relapse of MS No evidence of myelodysplasia Sibling donor proven to be an identical twin by ABO typing, HLA typing, and VNTR analysis (for syngeneic transplantation) --Prior/Concurrent Therapy-- Radiotherapy: No prior total-lymphoid irradiation Other: No other concurrent investigational agents --Patient Characteristics-- Hepatic: No hepatic impairment that would preclude high-dose immunosuppressive therapy Renal: No renal impairment that would preclude high-dose immunosuppressive therapy Cardiovascular: No cardiac impairment that would preclude high-dose immunosuppressive therapy Pulmonary: No pulmonary impairment that would preclude high-dose immunosuppressive therapy Other: - No neurologic impairment that would preclude high-dose immunosuppressive therapy - No active uncontrolled infection - No active malignancy - No other illness that would severely limit life expectancy - No medical or psychiatric conditions that would preclude study - No history of hypersensitivity to murine proteins or E. coli-derived proteins - No demonstrated lack of compliance with prior medical care - Able to undergo an MRI scan - HIV negative - Not pregnant or nursing
