Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate the Ability of Lupron Depot to Enhance Immune Function Following Bone Marrow Transplantation (NCT NCT00275262)

NCT ID: NCT00275262

Last Updated: 2010-05-06

Results Overview

Patients received a subcutaneous injection of KLH vaccine 1 month after subjects received the third injection of LAD or placebo. Serum immunoglobulin IgM antibodies were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Baseline is defined as the IgM concentration before the KLH vaccination. Change from baseline was calculated as the IgM value postvaccination minus the IgM value at prevaccination.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Month 6 prevaccination (baseline) and Month 7 postvaccination

Population: Eight subjects from the LAD-treated arm and 5 subjects from the placebo-treated arm were assessed for IgM. These subjects received 3 doses of LAD or placebo, KLH vaccination, and had a blood collection suitable for analysis for primary endpoint although not all subjects completed the entire study.

Patients received a subcutaneous injection of KLH vaccine 1 month after subjects received the third injection of LAD or placebo. Serum immunoglobulin IgM antibodies were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Baseline is defined as the IgM concentration before the KLH vaccination. Change from baseline was calculated as the IgM value postvaccination minus the IgM value at prevaccination.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Month 6 prevaccination (baseline) and Month 7 postvaccination

Population: Eight subjects from the LAD-treated arm and 5 subjects from the placebo-treated arm were assessed for IgG1. These subjects received 3 doses of LAD or placebo, KLH vaccination, and had a blood collection suitable for analysis for primary endpoint although not all subjects completed the entire study.

Patients received a subcutaneous injection of KLH vaccine 1 month after subjects received the third injection of LAD or placebo. Serum immunoglobulin IgG1 antibodies were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Baseline is defined as the IgG1 concentration before the KLH vaccination.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Month 6 prevaccination (baseline) and Month 7 postvaccination

Population: Six subjects from the LAD-treated arm and 5 subjects from the placebo-treated arm were assessed for interferon gamma. These subjects received 3 doses of LAD or placebo, KLH vaccination, and had a blood collection suitable for analysis for primary endpoint although not all subjects completed the entire study.

Patients received a subcutaneous injection of KLH vaccine 1 month after subjects received the third injection of LAD or placebo. Interferon gamma was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot-forming cell (ELISpot). Baseline is defined as the interferon gamma concentration obtained before the KLH vaccination. Change from baseline was calculated as the interferon gamma value postvaccination minus the interferon gamma value at baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Pretransplant and posttransplant (Month 12)

Population: Nine subjects from the LAD-treated arm and 7 subjects from the placebo-treated arm were assessed for TREC per 100,000 CD4+ cells. These subjects received 3 doses of LAD or placebo, KLH vaccination, and had a blood collection suitable for analysis for primary endpoint although not all subjects completed the entire study.

CD4+ cells are a type of T cell. T cells are produced in the thymus and thymic function can be determined by TREC. By counting the number of TRECs present (only 1 copy per cell) within a population of CD4 cells, an assessment of T cell recovery and immune response is obtained. Mayo Medical Clinic. http://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/test-catalog/Clinical+and+Interpretive/87959. Accessed 17 MARCH 2010 The change from baseline is defined as posttransplant TREC/100,000 CD4+ cells minus pretransplant TREC /100,000 CD4+ cells.

Timeframe: Pretransplant and posttransplant (Month 12)

Population: Eight subjects from the LAD-treated arm and 5 subjects from the placebo-treated arm were assessed for TREC per 100,000 CD8+ cells.
