Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Women undergoing myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (MA HCT) will receive GnRH agonist leuprolide. Women undergoing reduced intensity allogeneic (RIC) HCT will be observed.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: Leuprolide
  • Biological: hematopoietic cell transplant
  • Biological: reduced intensity allogeneic HCT
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This study is to use gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist leuprolide prior myeloablative hematopoietic cell transplantation to prevent ovarian dysfunction in post-menarchal women.

The primary objective is to determine the effect of GnRH agonists on the incidence of ovarian failure.

The secondary objectives are

  • to determine how effective GnRH agonists are at suppressing menses during

  • to determine the incidence and timing of resumption of menstrual cycles after HCT

  • to determine the incidence and timing of resumption of normal FSH and LH levels after HCT

  • to determine the incidence of normal AMH levels after HCT

  • to determine the effect of GnRH agonists on immune reconstitution after HCT

  • to assess the safety and tolerability of GnRH agonists in the context of HCT

A total of 47 patients will be accrued in this study.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Interventional - Received Leuprolide

Long-acting leuprolide 11.25 mg intramuscularly (IM) pre-HCT and 3 months post-HCT PLUS Short-acting leuprolide 0.2 mg subcutaneously (SQ) daily for 14 days for patients who undergo myeloablative allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Drug: Leuprolide
Long-acting leuprolide 11.25 mg intramuscularly (IM) pre-transplant (HCT) and 3 months post-HCT PLUS Short-acting leuprolide 0.2 mg subcutaneously (SQ) daily for 14 days
Other Names:
  • Lupron Depot-3(R)
  • Leuprolide acetate
  • Biological: hematopoietic cell transplant
    Conventional bone marrow transplant regimen.
    Other Names:
  • HCT
  • Active Comparator: Observational Arm

    Women undergoing reduced intensity allogeneic HCT will be observed. Progestin contraceptives, Norethindrone acetate, and any other hormone methods can be used according to the prescription guidelines except for GnRH agonists to suppress menses.

    Biological: reduced intensity allogeneic HCT
    A reduced-intensity conditioning transplant is a bone marrow or cord blood transplant (also called a BMT) that uses less intense treatment to prepare for transplant than a standard transplant does. While a standard transplant uses the pre-transplant treatment to destroy most of the disease cells, a reduced-intensity transplant relies on the donor's immune cells to fight disease.

Leuprolide: Long-acting leuprolide 11.25 mg intramuscularly (IM) pre-transplant (HCT) and 3 months post-HCT PLUS Short-acting leuprolide 0.2 mg subcutaneously (SQ) daily for 14 days hematopoietic cell transplant: Conventional bone marrow transplant regimen. Women undergoing reduced intensity allogeneic HCT will be observed. Progestin contraceptives, Norethindrone acetate, and any other hormone methods can be used according to the prescription guidelines except for GnRH agonists to suppress menses. reduced intensity allogeneic HCT: A reduced-intensity conditioning transplant is a bone marrow or cord blood transplant (also called a BMT) that uses less intense treatment to prepare for transplant than a standard transplant does. While a standard transplant uses the pre-transplant treatment to destroy most of the disease cells, a reduced-intensity transplant relies on the donor's immune cells to fight disease.
