Phase II Study of Timed Sequential Busulfan in Combination With Fludarabine in Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Fludarabine monophosphate, Busulfan, and 4 other interventions for Leukemia and 9 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 201 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving busulfan and fludarabine before a stem cell transplant can help control the disease better than the standard method in patients with leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, MDS, or MPD. In this study, 2 doses of busulfan will be given 2 weeks before a stem cell transplant followed by 4 doses of busulfan and fludarabine during the week before the stem cell transplant, rather than the standard method of giving 4 doses of busulfan and fludarabine only during the week before the stem cell transplant. The safety of this combination therapy will also be studied. Busulfan is designed to kill cancer cells by binding to DNA (the genetic material of cells), which may cause cancer cells to die. Busulfan is commonly used in stem cell transplants. Fludarabine is designed to interfere with the DNA of cancer cells, which may cause the cancer cells to die.

Interventions
40 mg/m2 by vein on Days -6 through -3.
First two doses of Busulfan, 80 mg/m2 administered as an outpatient or as an inpatient to facilitate for this pharmacokinetically directed therapy. Busulfan is administered at the dose calculated to achieve a total (including first two doses delivered on day -13 and -12) systemic exposure of 20,000 ± 12% µMol-min based on the pharmacokinetic studies.
Fresh or cryopreserved bone marrow or peripheral blood progenitor cells infused on Day 0.
Starting dose of 0.015 mg/kg (ideal body weight) as 24 hour continuous infusion daily adjusted to achieve therapeutic level of 5-15 ng/ml. Tacrolimus changed to oral dosing when tolerated and can be tapered off after day +90 if no graft versus host disease (GVHD) present.
5 mg/m2 by vein on Days 1, 3, 6 and 11 post transplant.
5 mcg/kg/day subcutaneously beginning on Day +7, and continuing until absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is \> 500 \* 10/L for 3 consecutive days.
