Ustekinumab for the Prevention of Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease After Unrelated Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplant

Hematopoietic and Lymphoid System Neoplasm Clinical Trial

Official title: Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Phase II Trial Examining Ustekinumab for Prevention of Graft Vs. Host Disease After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well ustekinumab works in preventing acute graft-versus-host disease after unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplant. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal tissues (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving ustekinumab after the transplant may help prevent acute graft-versus-host disease by controlling the body's immune response.

Clinical Trial Description

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Between 4 and 72 hours prior to start of HCT conditioning therapy, patients receive ustekinumab intravenously (IV). Beginning 8 weeks after receiving IV ustekinumab, patients receive ustekinumab subcutaneously (SC) on days 50 (+/- 5 days), 100 (+/- 7 days), and 160 (+/- 7 days) post-HCT in the absence of grade III-IV acute GVHD, disease relapse or unacceptable toxicity. NOTE: HCT infusion takes place on day 0. ARM II: Between 4 and 72 hours prior to start of HCT conditioning therapy, patients receive a placebo IV. Beginning 8 weeks after IV placebo, patients receive a placebo SC on days 50 (+/- 5 days), 100 (+/- 7 days), and 160 (+/- 7 days) post-HCT in the absence grade III-IV acute GVHD, of disease relapse, or unacceptable toxicity. NOTE: HCT infusion takes place on day 0. After completion of study, patients are followed up at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months post-HCT. ;
