Study summary

Patients with acute leukemia relapsing after allotransplant and who respond to anti-leukaemia interventions are at high-risk of a second relapse. Previous studies from investigators reported an association between a positive minimal residual disease (MRD)-test after transplant and an increased risk of subsequent relapse. Also, patients developing chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) after receiving DLI (donor lymphocyte infusion)for leukemia relapse after a first allotransplant have a lower likelihood of a second relapse compared with similar patients not developing chronic GvHD. And, our previous study also reported patients with chronic GvHD after DLI was associated with a greater frequency of a negative MRD-test and lower likelihood of subsequent relapse compared with similar persons not developing chronic GvHD. Based on these data the investigators designed a randomized control study to determine whether giving additional consolidation chemotherapy and DLI might decrease likelihood of second relapse in persons without chronic GvHD or with a positive MRD-test after initial post-relapse therapy with induction chemotherapy and DLI.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    study group

    Participants receive chemotherapy and donor lymphocyte infusions based on the state GvHD, even the participants have a negative result of minimal residual disease (MRD). If the participants have no GvHD,they will receive chemotherapy and donor lymphocyte infusion until they develop GvHD.

    Drug: donor lymphocyte infusion

  • No intervention
    control group

    Participants don't receive chemotherapy and donor lymphocyte infusion as long as they have a negative result of MRD,in dispite of whether or not GvHD.

Interventions

  • Drugdonor lymphocyte infusion

    Participants in study group receive chemotherapy and donor lymphocyte infusion based on the state of GvHD, even they have a negative result of MRD. If participants in study group have no GvHD, they will receive chemotherapy and donor lymphocyte infusion until they develop GvHD. If the participants in study group have GvHD, they will be observed. But, the participants in control group don't receive chemotherapy and donor lymphocyte infusion as long as they have a negative result of MRD, in despite of whether or not GvHD.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with a positive results of minimal residual disease that is evaluated by testing aberrant leukemia-associated immune phenotypes and WT1 mRNA levels.

    Investigators use two strategies to test for minimal residual disease in bone marrow samples: (1) aberrant leukemia-associated immune phenotypes detected by 4 colour flow cytometry; and (2) WT1 mRNA levels detected by polymerase chain reaction.

    Time frame: one year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of participants who relapsed

    Relapse was defined as recurrence of ≥5% bone marrow blasts or of ≥1 extra-medullary sites of leukaemia.

    Time frame: one year

  2. Number of surviving participants

    The outcomes of participants are recored until one year

    Time frame: one year

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Mar 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Oct 2020, 43 months after the start.

Of 49 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Neoplasm, Residual, half reached primary completion within 66 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 50 and three quarters within 94. This study's planned 43 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 52 studies reached it within 71 months; a quarter within 50 and three quarters within 120.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 10, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
