Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Evaluation of the engraftment rate after preparation of the stem cell transplant with CD3/CD19 depletion and administration of approximatelly 7x10E6/kg body weight CD34+ cells. Engraftment is defined as leucocytes >1000µl, neutrophiles >500µl and thrombocytes >20.000/µl on day 28 after transplantation.;Secondary Objective: Evaluation of the onset of engraftment (as defined in the main objective). Evaluation of the reconstitution of the immune system after transplantation by means of characterization of the lymphocyte subpopulations CD 3; CD 4; CD 8; CD 56; CD 14. Characterization of the toxicity of a myeloablative, toxicity-reducing conditioning with Clofarabine, Etoposide , Cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, thiotepa, melphalane and CAMPATH according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0 (CTCAE). Characterization of the onset of bacterial, viral and fungal infections defined by means of polymerase chain reaction and evaluation of the clinical outcome defined either by means of polymerase chain reaction or the improvement of clinical symptoms Evaluation of the relapse-free survival Evaluation of the GvHD-rate ;Primary end point(s): Evaluation of the engraftment rate after preparation of the stem cell transplant with CD3/CD19 depletion and administration of approximatelly 7x10E6/kg body weight CD34+ cells. Engraftment is defined as leucocytes >1000µl, neutrophiles >500µl and thrombocytes >20.000/µl on day 28 after transplantation. | — |
