SHARON: Study of Metastatic Cancers in Patients Using Autologous Stems Cells and Potentiated Redox Cycling to Overcome Drug Resistance to Nitrogen Mustard Derivatives
General Oncology, Inc.
Summary
The clinical trial is a phase 1, single-arm trial that will evaluate the safety of the investigational treatment on metastatic pancreatic cancer and metastatic breast cancer. The investigational treatment will involve 2 cycles of a combination of intravenous melphalan, BCNU, vitamin B12b, and vitamin C with autologous hematopoietic stem cell infusion. A dose-escalation schedule is being employed for the vitamin C.
Description
In the current clinical trial, subjects will receive a combination of melphalan, BCNU, vitamin B12b, and vitamin C in conjunction with autologous stem cell infusion. The drug combination is designed to address multiple mechanisms of melphalan resistance. Investigational Treatment Description: * Hematopoietic Stem Cell Collection 1. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and if needed Plerixafor, will be used to mobilize bone marrow stem cells, which will be collected by apheresis. 2. At least 2 bags of CD34+ cells, each containing at least 2 × 10\^6 cells/kg, will be prepared and stored…
