Awards & highlights

Summary

This trial is for children and adolescents with ALL who are in complete morphological remission and need a myeloablative conditioning regimen for HSCT. The patients are stratified according to the transplantation modalities available to them.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and adolescents up to 21 years old with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in complete remission, who need a stem cell transplant. They must not be pregnant, have had previous transplants, or suffer from severe diseases that could interfere with the treatment.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well different myeloablative conditioning regimens work before a stem cell transplant. These include drugs like Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide, as well as procedures such as Total Body Irradiation (TBI).
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include damage to bone marrow, increased risk of infections due to immune suppression, organ toxicity (heart, liver), gastrointestinal problems (nausea/vomiting), and potential infertility.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Flu/Thio/ivBuExperimental Treatment6 Interventions
Fludarabine/Thiotepa/iV Busulfan is used as conditioning regimen for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with: * MSD (matched sibling donors) or MD (matched related or unrelated donors). In addition, patients undergoing MD HSCT will receive ATG Thymo- or Grafalon. * MMD (mismatched donors) with CB (Cord blood) or TCD (T-Cell depletion) or CD34+ selection. In addition, these patients will receive ATG Thymo- or Grafalon. * MMD (mismatched donors) patients receiving Post TX-Cyclophosphamide
Group II: Flu/Thio/TreoExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
Fludarabine/Thiotepa/Treosulfan is used as conditioning regimen for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with: * MSD (matched sibling donors) or MD (matched related or unrelated donors). In addition, patients undergoing MD HSCT will receive ATG Thymo- or Grafalon. * MMD (mismatched donors) with CB (Cord blood) or TCD (T-Cell depletion) or CD34+ selection. In addition, these patients will receive ATG Thymo- or Grafalon. * MMD (mismatched donors) patients receiving Post TX-Cyclophosphamide
Group III: Bu/VP16/CyExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Busulfan/VP16/Cyclophosphamide is an alternative conditioning arm that may optionally be used for HSCT with MSD/MD and MMD graft in patients aged 0-24 months. Patients undergoing MD HSCT will also receive ATG Thymo- or Grafalon.
Group IV: TBI/VP16Active Control4 Interventions
TBI (Total Body Irradiation) / VP16 is used as conditioning regimen for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients older than 48 months with: * MSD (matched sibling donors) or MD (matched related or unrelated donors). In addition, patients undergoing MD HSCT will receive ATG Thymo- or Grafalon. * MMD (mismatched donors) with CB (Cord blood) or TCD (T-Cell depletion) or CD34+ selection. In addition, these patients will receive ATG Thymo- or Grafalon. * MMD (mismatched donors) patients receiving Post TX-Cyclophosphamide. Patients aged 24-48 months may optionally receive Total Body Irradiation (TBI).
