Clinical Trial Summary

This pilot clinical trial studied how well desipramine hydrochloride and filgrastim worked for stem cell mobilization in participants with multiple myeloma (MM) undergoing stem cell transplant. Giving colony-stimulating factors, such as filgrastim, and other drugs, such as desipramine hydrochloride, helps stem cells move from the participant's bone marrow to the blood so they can be collected and stored.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To study efficacy, safety, harvest kinetics and engraftment kinetics of participants undergoing autologous stem cell mobilization, mobilized with a combination of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) (filgrastim) with desipramine (desipramine hydrochloride) (G+D).

II. To analyze polymorphisms of adrenergic receptor beta 2 (ADRB2) and adrenergic receptor beta 3 (ADRB3) genes that correlate with mobilization efficiency.

OUTLINE:

Participants received desipramine hydrochloride orally (PO) daily on days -3 to +4 and filgrastim PO twice daily (BID) on days 1-4. Stem cell collection began on day 6.

After completion of study treatment, participants were followed up to 1 week after completion of stem cell collection.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Success Rate of Stem Cell Mobilization (SCM) in Participants Who Completed Filgrastim and Desipramine Therapy	Success rate was assessed as the number of participants with Multiple Myeloma (MM) who were first time mobilizers or unexposed to alkylating agents who completed the full course of filgrastim and desipramine and achieved the target collection of >=5 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg.	Day 5
Primary	Success Rate of Stem Cell Mobilization (SCM) in Participants Who Failed Prior Mobilization or Who Were Exposed to Alkylator Therapy or Who Were Predicted to be Difficult to Mobilize Who Completed Filgrastim and Desipramine Therapy	Success rate was assessed as the number of participants with Multiple Myeloma (MM) who Failed Prior Mobilization or who were Exposed to Alkylator Therapy or who were Predicted to be Difficult to Mobilize who completed the full course of filgrastim and desipramine and achieved the target collection of >=5 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg.	Day 5
Secondary	Median Number of Days of Apheresis	Median number of days of apheresis required to collect >=5 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg. Standard descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data.	Up to 1 week following completion of study treatment, up to 15 days
Secondary	Incidence of Adverse Events	Incidence of adverse events up to 1 week following completion of study treatment. Adverse events were graded using Version 4.0 of National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE).	Up to 1 week following completion of study treatment, up to 15 days
Secondary	Median Time to Neutrophil Engraftment	Median time (number of days) to neutrophil engraftment was determined as first of three consecutive days with absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 500/ul or first day with ANC > 1000/ul in the absence of growth factor support.	Up to 1 week following completion of study treatment, up to 15 days
Secondary	Median Time to Platelet Engraftment	Median time (number of days) to platelet engraftment was determined as first of three consecutive days with platelets > 20,000/ul without transfusion.	Up to 1 week following completion of study treatment, up to 15 days
