Trial Information

A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Potential Efficacy of Lithium Carbonate for Stimulation of Intestinal Recovery In Patients With Acute GVHD


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the effects of lithium on functional and mucosal anatomic recovery in the
small or large bowel of patients with acute GVHD.

II. Functional recovery will be evaluated according to changes in clinical manifestations of
gastrointestinal GVHD. III. Mucosal anatomic recovery will be evaluated by review of results
from clinically indicated endoscopic evaluations.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the tolerability of lithium administration in allogeneic HCT recipients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral lithium carbonate once or twice daily. Treatment continues
for up to 8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patient with a diagnosis of severe intestinal GVHD that is not improving at any time
after initial treatment with glucocorticoids for at least 7 days are eligible for
enrollment; measures indicating severity of GVHD will include: a) persistent diarrhea
with average daily stool volumes > 500 mL per day; or b) persistent hemorrhage that
is detectable by visual inspection of the stool

- Patients with denuded mucosa caused by GVHD are eligible for enrollment, regardless
of prior treatment for acute GVHD; denuded mucosa is defined as loss (i.e., erosion
or sloughing) of the epithelium in: a) at least one-third of the surface area in a 30
cm colonic segment (i.e., rectosigmoid, descending or transverse colon); or b) at
least one fifth of the surface area of the second portion of the duodenum, as
estimated by endoscopic evaluation; denuded mucosa must be documented by images of
the duodenum and colon and by histologic evaluation of the colon

- All subjects must provide written informed consent with the use of forms approved by
the FHCRC IRB

Exclusion Criteria:

- Significant renal dysfunction (estimated creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min)

- Persistent or recurrent malignancy

- Secondary malignancy

- Patients who had autologous or syngeneic marrow transplantation

- Presence of any cause of intestinal symptoms or ulceration other than GVHD

- Patients with any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition
potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol will be excluded

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Supportive Care

Outcome Measure:

Functional recovery

Outcome Time Frame:
