Study summary

This is a single-center randomized open-label phase II clinical trial to compare relapse prophylaxis with sorafenib and observation after graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis with post-transplantation bendamustine and cyclophosphamide in high-risk myeloid malignancies. This is an intention to treat study, where randomization is performed at first documentation of CR after engraftment.

Read the detailed description

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) results steadily improve due to reduction of NRM. Standard risk patients now have the risk of HCT below 10% after matched donor transplantation. Nonetheless, there is limited improvement in CIR over time. Especially novel strategies to reduce relapse are needed for high-risk myeloid malignancies where standard HCT approaches result in relatively unfavorable outcomes. Among high-risk malignancies are refractory AML without hematological remission for HCT. In this group EFS rarely exceeds 15%. Some improvement in refractory AML was reported with intensified sequential conditioning regimens, but there use is limited to young and fit patients who comprise only around 20-30% of all refractory AML population. Also it was demonstrated that AML patients beyond CR2 have significantly worse prognosis than CR1 and CR2 patients. It is reported that long-term EFS in this group of patients is around 30%. The next adverse group of HCT recipients are patients with high-risk somatic mutations. It is reported in several studies that EFS in tp53-mutant AML even allografted in CR is 0%. Another adverse mutation is ASXL1, where also 0-10% EFS was demonstrated in large cohorts of patients. For therapy related myeloid malignancies it was also demonstrated that the CIR is higher and this group patients have even in CR have 30% EFS. Complex karyotype and monosomal karytope, involvement of chromosome 3 with EVI1 gene, which are common in this patients group, further exacerbate prognosis. Very high risk MDS was also reported to have dismal prognosis after allogeneic HCT. All these adverse groups were included in the study.

PTBCy GVHD prophylaxis provides augmented GVL and better disease control in high-risk myeloid malignancies, but GVL effect fades over time. While median relapse rate is significantly prolonged to 8 months against the previously reported in the literature 2-3 months, the relapse rate with long term follow up remains high. Thus this longer time to relapse gives enough time to initiate sorafenib prophylaxis which was shown to be one of the most promising agents for relapse prophylaxis. Given its immune modulatory properties the study hypothesis is that sorafenib with PTBCy GVHD prohylaxis will further augment GVL and facilitate better disease control.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

FEV1

From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Of 386 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute, half reached primary completion within 67 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 40 and three quarters within 108. This study's planned 36 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 443 studies reached it within 60 months; a quarter within 38 and three quarters within 104.

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 Aug 1, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
