Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children With Relapsed Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia
A Phase 2/3 study testing asparaginase, cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride in people with Leukemia, run by Grupo Argentino de Tratamiento de la Leucemia Aguda at 1 site in Argentina.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II/III trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating children with relapsed acute lymphocytic… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: TREATMENT OF ALL IN FIRST BONE MARROW RELAPSE AFTER BFM PROTOCOLS
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II/III trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating children with relapsed acute lymphocytic leukemia.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the feasibility, at GATLA, of a study of the treatment of ALL in first hematologic relapse following treatment on a BFM protocol. II. Evaluate the efficacy of induction with vincristine/daunorubicin/asparaginase/prednisone in producing a second complete remission in these patients, and evaluate the toxicity of this regimen. III. Evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of the Capizzi I regimen (vincristine/asparaginase/methotrexate) and Capizzi II regimen (cytarabine/asparaginase/daunorubicin) when given to maintain and prolong complete remission. IV. Offer the option of bone marrow transplantation to those patients who are in second remission and who have a histocompatible donor, and compare outcome of these patients with those on chemotherapy alone.
OUTLINE: Nonrandomized study. Patients achieving remission on Induction proceed to Interim Maintenance, then to Continued Maintenance; those failing to achieve remission receive Salvage Re-induction, followed, if remission is achieved, by Interim Maintenance, then Continued Maintenance. Induction: 4-Drug Combination Chemotherapy with CNS Prophylaxis/Therapy. Vincristine, VCR, NSC-67574; Prednisone, PRED, NSC-10023; Asparaginase, ASP, NSC-109229; Daunorubicin, DNR, NSC-82151; with Intrathecal Cytarabine, IT ARA-C, NSC-63878; Intrathecal Dexamethasone, IT DM, NSC-34521. Interim Maintenance: 3-Drug Combination Chemotherapy with, as indicated, Radiotherapy. VCR; ASP; Methotrexate, MTX, NSC-740; with, as indicated, testicular irradiation (equipment not specified). Continued Maintenance: 3-Drug Combination Chemotherapy followed by 3-Drug Combination Chemotherapy with CNS Prophylaxis and, as indicated, Radiotherapy. Capizzi II: ARA-C; ASP; DNR; followed by Capizzi I: VCR; ASP; MTX; with IT ARA-C; IT DM; and, as indicated, cranial irradiation (equipment not specified). Salvage Re-induction: 2-Drug Combination Chemotherapy. ARA-C; ASP.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: At least 72 evaluable patients will be entered. Accrual is expected to be completed in 3 years.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing asparaginase, cytarabine and daunorubicin hydrochloride in people with Leukemia, run by Grupo Argentino de Tratamiento de la Leucemia Aguda at 1 site in Argentina.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Argentina. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Sep 2013.
